American History Lesson
It was the first day of school and a new student named Suzuki, the son of an esteemed 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," answered the teacher.
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: "Fuck the Japs."
"Who said that?" she demanded. Suzuki put his hand up. "Lee Iacocca, 1982."
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 answers: "George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991."
Now furious, another student yells, "Oh yeah? Suck my cock!" 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 skull-fuck your corpse." Suzuki frantically yells at the top of his voice, "Gary Condit to Chandra Levy, 2001."
At this point, the teacher fainted, and as the class gathered around her on the floor, someone said, "Oh shit, now we're in BIG trouble!" Suzuki immediately screamed "The Taliban -- September 12, 2001!"
