A first grade teacher explains to her class that she is a Michigan fan. She asks her students to raise their hands if they are Michigan fans too. Not really knowing what a Michigan fan was, but wanting to be liked by their teacher, their hands fly into the air.
There is, however, one exception. A little girl named Jane has not gone along with the crowd. The teacher asks her why she has decided to be different. "Because I'm not a Michigan fan" she reports.
"Then," asks the teacher, "what are you?"
"I'm a proud Ohio State Buckeye Fan" the girl said.
The teacher is a little perturbed, her face slightly red. She asks Jane why she is an Ohio State Fan.
"Well, my Dad and Mom are Buckeye fans, so I'm a Buckeye fan too," she responds.
The teacher is angry now. "That's no reason," she says loudly. "What if your Mom was a moron, and your dad was an idiot. What would you be then?"
Jane smiles and says, "Then I'd be a Michigan fan."
