It was the first day of a school in USA and a new Sri Lankan Indian
student named Chandrasekhar Subramanian 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 Chandrasekhar, who had his
hand up:
"Patrick Henry, 1775," he said.
"Very good!"
Who said "A Government of the People, by the People, for the People,
shall not perish from the Earth?"
Again, no response except from Chandrasekhar. "Abraham Lincoln,
1863," he said.
The teacher snapped at the class, "Class, you should be ashamed.
Chandrasekhar, who is new to our country, knows more about its
history than you do."
She heard a loud whisper: "F*** the Indians."
"Who said that?" she demanded.
Chandrasekhar put his hand up. "General Custer, 1862."
At that point, a student in the back said, "I'm gonna puke."
The teacher glared and asked, " Al l right! Now, who said that?"
"George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991," said
Chandrasekhar.
Now furious, another student yells, "Oh yeah? Suck this!"
Chandrasekhar jumped out of his chair, waved his hand and shouted to
the teacher, "Bill Clinton, to Monica Lewinsky, 1997!"
Now amidst almost mob hysteria someone said, "You little s**t. If you
say anything else, I'll kill you."
"Michael Jackson to the child witnesses testifying against him,
2004," Chandrasekhar frantically yelled at the top of his voice.
The teacher fainted and as the class gathered around her, someone
said, "Oh s**t, we're f****d!"
And Chandrasekhar said quietly, " Robert Mugabe to his cabinet at
the declaration of the presidential election results, April 2008."
