I remember a trip to America and I went to visit a school. With being English, they wanted me to sit in one of the history classes dressed as an Indian. I thought, 'This will go down well'.
The teacher said, Let’s begin by reviewing some American History.
Teacher :- Who said ‘Give me Liberty, or give me Death’?
The whole class was a sea of blank faces except for me, so I put my hand up and said, ‘Patrick Henry, 1775,’.
Teacher :- Who said ‘Government of the People, by the People, for the People, shall not perish from the Earth?’
Again, no response, so I said:- ‘Abraham Lincoln, 1863’
The teacher snapped at the class, ‘Class, you should be ashamed, Nonnie who is new to our country, knows more about our history than you do.’
She heard a loud whisper: ‘Fuck the Indians’
‘Who said that?’ she demanded. Again I said, ‘General Custer, 1862.’
At that point, a student in the back said, ‘I’m gonna puke.’
The teacher glares around and asks ‘All right! Now, who said that?’
So I says, ‘George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991.’
Now furious, another student yells, ‘Oh yeah? Suck this!’
I jump out of my chair waving my hand and I shout to the teacher, ‘Bill Clinton, to Monica Lewinsky, 1997.’
Now with almost mob hysteria someone said ‘You little shit. If you say anything else, I’ll kill you.’
By know, I frantically yell at the top of my voice, ‘Michael Jackson to the child witness testifying against him, 2004.’
The teacher fainted. And as the class gathered around the teacher on the floor, someone said,
‘Oh shit, we’re screwed!’ so I said said quietly, ‘I think it was Lehmann Brothers, November 4th,2008’.
I thought it went well.
So I'm looking forward to wandering around your forum, speaking to others and getting to know your way of living. Thanks to Perianne for directing me to this site, she said it was full of lunatics so I should fit in well. And I'm not gullible so I thank her for that nice comment.
