>                Superior Knowledge of History

>  It was the first day of school and a new student, the son of a Japanese
>  businessman entered the fourth grade. The teacher greeted the class and
>  said, "Let's begin by reviewing some American history.
>  Who said, "Give me liberty, or give me death?"
>  She saw only a sea of blankfaces, except for that of Yoshi, who had his
>  hand up.
>  "Patrick Henry, 1775," said the boy.
>  "Now," said the teacher, "Who said 'Government of the people, by the
>  people, for the people shall not perish from the earth?"
>  Again, no response except from Yoshi, "Abraham Lincoln, 1863."
>  The teacher snapped at the class, "You should be ashamed. Yoshi, who is
>  new to our country, knows more about American history than you do."  As
>  she turned to write something on the blackboard, she heard a loud whis-
>  per, "Damned Japanese."
>  "Who said that?" she demanded.
>  Yoshi put his hand up.
>  "Lee Iacocca, 1982," he said.
>  At that point, feeling completely disgusted by Yoshi's history knowledge,
>  a student in the back sighed, "I'm gonna throw up."
>  Teacher says "Who said that?"
>  Again, Yoshi raises his hand and says, "George Bush to the Japanese Prime
>  Minister in 1991."
>  Now furious, another student yells, "Oh yeah?!?  Well suck my Dick!"
>  This time Yoshi didn't even wait for the teacher to ask her question,
>  and tendered his answer: "Bill Clinton to Monica Lewinsky, 1997!"
