Just a little something to help start your Monday off with a little laugh!
It was the first day of school and a new student named
Pedro Martinez, the son of a recently immigrated Mexican
restaurateur, 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 Pedro, who had
his hand up.
"Patrick Henry, 1775."
"Very good!" apprised the teacher. "Now, who said, "Government of
the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the
earth?"
Again, no response except from Pedro:
"Abraham Lincoln, 1863."
The teacher snapped at the class, "Class, you should be ashamed!
Pedro, who is new to our country, knows more about its' history than
you do!"
She heard a loud whisper: "Screw the Mexicans!"
"Who said that?" she demanded.
Pedro put his hand up.
"Jim Bowie, 1836."
At that point, a student in the back said, "I'm gonna
puke." The teacher glared and asked, "All right! Now, who said that?"
Again, Pedro.
"George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991."
Now furious, another student yelled, "Oh yeah? Suck
this!" Pedro jumped out of his chair waving his hand and
shouting 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!"
Pedro frantically yelled at the top of his voice,
"Gary Condit to Chandra Levy, 2001."
The teacher fainted, and as the class gathered around
her on the floor, someone said, "Oh shit, we're in BIG trouble now!"
Pedro whispered,
"Saddam Hussein, 2003."
