It was the first day of school and a new student named Alberto Martinez, the son of a 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 Alberto, who had his hand up. �Patrick Henry, 1775.�
�Very good!� apprised the teacher. �Now, who said, �Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth?� Again, no response, except from Alberto: �Abraham Lincoln, 1863.�
The teacher snapped at the class, �Class, you should be ashamed! Alberto, 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. Alberto put his hand up. �Jim Bowie, 1836.�
At that point, a student in the back sarcastally said, �I�m gonna puke.� The teacher glared and asked, �All right! Now, who said that?� Again, Alberto answered, �George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991.�
Now furious, another student yelled, �Oh yeah? Suck this!� Alberto jumped out of his chair waving his hand and shouting to the teacher, �Bill Clinton to Monica Lewinsky, 1997!�
Now, with almost a mob hysteria, a kid said, �You little shit. If you say anything else, I�ll kill you!� Alberto frantically yelled at the top of his voice, �Gary Condit to Chandra Levy, 2001.�
The teacher fainted, and as the class gathered around her on the floor, someone said, �Oh shit, we�re in BIG trouble now!� Alberto whispered, �Saddam Hussein, 2003.�
Finally someone throws a eraser at Pedro, a kid shouted �Duck�! The eraser missed and the teacher, who had just regained herself asked �Who yelled that? Pedro exclaimed, �Dick Cheney 2006!�
