AkMike1The Indian Student and History
It was the first day of school and a new Indian student named Chandrasekhar Subramanian 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 Chandrasekhar, 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 Chandrasekhar. 'Abraham Lincoln, Gettysburg - 1863' said Chandrasekhar.
The teacher snapped at the class, 'Class, you should be ashamed. Chandrasekhar, who is new to our country, knows more about its history than you do.'
She heard a loud whisper: 'Screw the Indians,'
'Who said that?' she demanded. Chandrasekhar put his hand up.
'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?'
Again, Chandrasekhar says, 'George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991.'
Now furious, another student yells, 'Oh yeah? Suck this!'
Chandrasekhar 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.'
Chandrasekhar 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, now we're screwed!'
And Chandrasekhar said quietly, 'I think it was the American people, November 4th, 2008".

Philip A.Sorry to ask silly questions, but since 99.99% of the thousands of Obama jokes milling around the net - and here - revolve on the same assumption, I wonder:
Unemployment numbers are the highest since 1994, the few banks that are not filing for bankruptcy are busy repossessing more houses than they can hope selling in the next ten years, the military is stuck in Irak and stretched too thin to be able to face a serious threat somewhere else, new laws say that you can get locked up and the key thrown away without the Government even having to tell you why, all the formerly US-friendly nations in the world are now US-wary; GM, Ford and Chrysler are asking for Government financial bailout to avoid closing their factories, national debt has soared so high that the USA as a whole may be foreclosed one of these days...
Now, what exactly do you guys have in mind when you say "Obama is going to f**k up the country"????????

billinthewildUganda...comments like yours are for the political thread. If you do not care for our humor try to hold back from turning a smile into a frown.

And since it is politically incorrect to use the word "fuck" I am glad you refrained from spelling "fuck" out.
