> The teacher said,
> "Let's begin by reviewing some American History. Who said 'Give me

> 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, 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: 'F@@@k 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
> ****. 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 shi====t, we're screwed!'
> And Chandrasekhar whispered quietly, "the Republicans,
> November 4th, 2008".
