It was the first day of school and a new student named Hideo 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
Hideo, 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
Hideo: "Abraham Lincoln, 1863.", said Hideo. The teacher snapped at the
class, "Class, you should be ashamed. Hideo, who is new to our country,
knows more about its history than you do." She heard a loud whisper:
"F-k the Japanese." "Who said that?" she demanded. Hideo 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, Hideo says, "George Bush, to the Japanese Prime Minister,
1991." Furious, another student yells, "Oh yeah? Suck this!" Hideo
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 shite, if you ever say anything else, I will
have you killed." Hideo yells at the top of his voice, "Gary Condit, to
Chandra Levy, 2001." The teacher fainted.
