Sukabi at AllSpinZone posted the following, and I thought it very funny. 🙂
I got this in my email today, thought we could all use a laugh.
It was the first day of school and a new student named Pedro Martinez, the son of a 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?â€?
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, â€?I’m gonna puke.“
The teacher glared and asked, �All right! Now, who said that?“
Again, Pedro answered, 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, teacher said, “You little shit. If you say anything else, I’ll kill you!â€?
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!â€?
Pedro whispered, “Saddam Hussein, 2003.�
Finally someone throws a eraser at Pedro, someone shouted “Duck�! Teacher asked “Who said that?�
Pedro, “Dick Cheney 2006.�
Edit 6:12 by SpinDentist: Cheney was shot himself in a hunting accident in the late 1990s.
