Bob: got this in an email

It was the first day of school and a new student
named
Suzuki, the son a Japanese businessman, entered
the fourth grade.
The teacher said, "Let's begin by reviewing some
American history.
Who said, "Give me Liberty, or give me Death?"
She
saw a sea of blank faces, except for Suzuki, who
had his hand up.
"Patrick Henry, 1775.", he said.
"Very good! Who said, "Government of the people,
by
the people, for the
people, shall not perish from the earth?", Again,
no
response except from Suzuki: "Abraham Lincoln,
1863", said Suzuki.
The teacher snapped at the class, "Class, you
should
be ashamed. Suzuki, who is new to our country,
knows more about its
history than you do."
She heard a loud whisper: "F___ the Japs."
"Who said that?", she demanded.
Suzuki put his hand up. "Lee Iacocca, l982."
At that point, a student in the back said, "I'm
gonna
puke."
The teacher glares and asks, "All right! Now, who
said that?"
Again, Suzuki says, "George Bush to the Japanese
Prime
Minister, 1991."
Now furious, another student yells, "Oh yeah?
Suck
this!"
Suzuki jumps out of his chair waving his hand and
shouts to the teacher,
"Bill Clinton to Monica Lewinsky, 1997!"
Now with almost a mob hysteria someone said, "You
little shit. If you say anything else, I'll kill
you."
Suzuki frantically yells at the top of his voice,
"Gary Condit to Chandra Levy 2001."
The teacher fainted. |
