History Lesson

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 Little Johnny, a
bright Navajo Indian boy, 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 Little Johnny. "Abraham
Lincoln, 1863."

The teacher snapped at the class, "Class, you should be
ashamed. Little Johnny knows more about history than you
do."

She heard a loud whisper: "Screw the Indians."

"Who said that?" she demanded.

Little Johnny put his hand up. "General Custer, 1862."

At that point, a student in the back said, "I'm gonna puke."

The teacher glared around and asked, "All right!!! Now who
said that!?"

Again, Little Johnny said, "George Bush to the Japanese
Prime Minister, 1991."

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

Little Johnny jumps out of his chair waving his hand and
shouts 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."

Little Johnny frantically yells at the top of his voice,
"Michael Jackson to the child witnesses 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!"

Little Johnny said quietly, "The American people, November
4, 2008"
