Lifesavers

A college professor was doing a study testing the senses of first-graders using a bowl of Lifesavers. He gave all of the children the same kind of Lifesaver one at a time and asked them to identify them by color and flavor.
The children began to say:

"Red ............... cherry"
"Yellow ............... lemon"
"Green .............. lime"
"Orange ........... orange"

Finally, the professor gave them all honey Lifesavers. After eating them for a few moments none of the children could identify the taste.

"Well," he said, "I'll give you all a clue. It's what your mother may sometimes call your father."

One little girl looked up in horror, spit her's out and yelled, "Everybody, spit them out -- they're assholes!!!"
