It was the first day of school and a new student, 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 that of Suzuki 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
Suzuki: "Abraham Lincoln, 1863."

The teacher snapped at the class, "Class, you should be ashamed. Suzuki,
who is new to our country, knows more about American history than you do."

She heard a loud whisper: "F&*#ing Japanese." "Who said that?" she
demanded.

Suzuki put his hand up: "Lee Iacocca, 1982." At that point, a student in
the back sighed, "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"
