Hilarious, Jana!

>>It was the first day of school and a new student named Martinez, the son

>of

>>an immigrant Mexican restaurateur, 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 Martinez, who had his hand up.

>>

>>"Patrick Henry, 1775."

>>

>>"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 Martinez: "Abraham Lincoln, 1863.", said

>>Martinez.

>>

>>The teacher snapped at the class, "Class, you should be ashamed.
Martinez,

>>who is new to our country, knows more about its history than you do."

>>

>>She heard a loud whisper: "Screw the Mexicans." "Who said that?" she

>demanded.

>>

>>Martinez put his hand up. "Jim Bowie, 1836."

>>

>>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, Martinez says, "George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister,
1991."

>>

>>Now furious, another student yells, "Oh yeah? Suck this!"

>>

>>Martinez 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 sh**. If you
say

>>anything else, I'll kill you."

>>

>>Martinez 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 sh**, we're in BIG trouble!"

>>

>>Martinez said, "Saddam Hussein to his brother, 2003"
