It was the first day of school and a new student named Suzuki, the son of 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."
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*ck the Japanese."
"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 says, "George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991."
Now furious, another student yells, "Oh yeah? Suck this!" And this time
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 ever
say anything else I will have you killed."
Suzuki frantically yells at the top of his voice, "Gary Condit to Chandra
Levy 2001."
The teacher fainted.
And as the class gathered around the teacher on the floor, someone said,
"Oh shit, we're in BIG trouble!"
Suzuki whispered "Saddam Hussein, 2003."
Finally someone throws a eraser at Pedro, someone shouted "Duck"!
The Teacher, just waking, asked "Who said that?
Suzuki: Dick Cheney 2006!
