Mary Long answered, "My Daddy is a doctor. D-O-C-T-O-R. If he were here he could give all of us a check-up." Jim Street said, "My father is a dentist. D-E-N-T-I-S-T.

The teacher interrupted him, "Leroy, just think about the spelling a minute and we'll get back to you." Jim Martelli spoke up immediately. "My father is a bookie.
