It was the first day of school in Marietta, Georgia 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.”, said
Suzuki.
The teacher snapped at the class, “Class, you should be ashamed. Suzuki,
who is new to our country, knows more about our American history than you do.”
She heard a loud whisper: “F*ck 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 glared and asked “All right! Now, who said that?”
Again, Suzuki said, “George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991.”
Now being furious, another student yelled, “Oh yeah? S*ck this!”
Suzuki jumped out of his chair waving his hand and shouted to the teacher,
“Bill Clinton, to Monica Lewinsky, 1997!”
Now with almost a mob hysteria, someone said, “You little sh*t. If you say
anything else, I’ll kill you.”
Suzuki frantically yelled 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 sh*t, we’re f*cked”
Suzuki said, “The Taliban! 2001”
