AN INDIAN TRANSFER STUDENT TO AN AMERICAN SCHOOL It was the first day of school and a new student named Chandrashekhar Subrahmanyam 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 Chandrashekhar, who had his hand up: "Patrick Henry, 1775" he said. "Very good! Said the teacher. Who said "Government of the People, by the People, for the People, shall not perish from the Earth?" Again there was no response except from Chandrashekhar. "Abraham Lincoln, 1863" said Chandrashekhar. The teacher snapped at the class, "Class, you should be ashamed. Chandrashekhar, who is new to our country, knows more! About its history than you do." She heard a loud whisper: "F**k the Indians". "Who said that?" she demanded. Chandrashekhar 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, Chandrashekhar says, "George Bush Sr to the Japanese Prime Minister in 1991" Now furious, another student yells, "Oh yeah? S*ck this!" Chandrashekhar 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 ****, if you say anything else, I'll kill you." Chandrashekhar frantically yells at the top of his voice, "Gary Condit to Chandra Levy, 2001." The teacher Fainted, and as the class gathered around the teacher on the floor, someone said, "Oh ****, we're f**ked!" And, Chandrashekhar said quietly, "George Bush, Iraq , 2005."
