American History
It was the first day of school and a new student named Juan Martinez, the
son of a Mexican restaurateur, entered the school for the fourth grade.
The teacher said, "Let's begin today's lesson by playing a game reviewing
some American History. Who said, "Give me Liberty or give me Death?"
She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Juan, who had his hand raised up.
"Patrick Henry, 1775" he replied.
"Very good, Juan. Who said 'Government of the people, by the people, for the
people, shall not perish from the earth?'"
Again, no response except from Juan, who had his hand up in the
air..."Abraham Lincoln, 1863" he replied.
The teacher snapped at the class..."Class, you should be ashamed! Juan, who
is new to our country, knows more about it's history than you do!"
She heard a loud whisper from the back of the class, "Screw the Mexicans!"
"Who said that?" she demanded.
Juan put his hand up again..."Jim Bowie, 1836."
At that point, a student in the back said, "I'm gonna puke".
The teacher glared at the class and asked, "All right, who said that?"
Again, Juan says, "George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991".
Now furious, another student yells, "Oh yeah...well suck this!!"
Juan jumps out of his chair, waving his hand, thinking this is now getting
fun and shouts to the teacher, "Bill Clinton to Monica Lewinsky, 1997".
Now, with almost a mob hysteria in the classroom, someone said "You little
****, if you say anything else, I'll kill you!"
Juan yells at the top of his lungs, "Gary Condit to Chandra Levy, 2001".
The teacher fainted. And as the class gathered around their teacher, passed
out on the floor, someone said, "Oh ****, we're in BIG trouble!"
Juan shouts, "Saddam Hussein, 2003"
