> It was the first day of school 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 its history than you do."
>
> She heard a loud whisper: "Screw 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 glares and asks "All right! Now, who said that?"
>
> Again, Suzuki says, "George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991."
>
> Now furious, another student yells, "Oh yeah? Suck this!"
>
> Suzuki 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 shit. If you
> say anything else, I'll kill you."
>
> Suzuki frantically yells 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 shit, we're in BIG trouble!
>
> ....and Suzuki said, "The Taliban! 2001."

> HAPPY 2002
