'Give me Liberty , or give me Death'?"
She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Little Hodiaki, a bright foreign
exchange student from Japan , 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 Hodiaki, 'Abraham Lincoln, 1863'.
'Excellent!', said the teacher continuing, 'let's try one a bit More difficult..
.'Who said, 'Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can
do for your country?'
Once again, Hodiaki's was the only hand in the air and he said;
'John F. Kennedy, 1961'.
The teacher snapped at the class, 'Class, you should be ashamed
of yourselves, Little Hodiaki isn't from this country and he knows
more about our history than you do.
'She heard a loud whisper: 'F . . k the Japs,'
'Who said that? I want to know right now!' she angrily demanded.
Little Hodiaki put his hand up, 'General MacArthur, 1945.'
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, Little Hodiaki says, ' President George H.W. Bush
to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991.'
Now furious, another student yells, 'Oh yeah? Suck this!'
Little Hodiaki 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 Hodiaki frantically yells at the top of his voice, 'Michael
Jackson to the child witnesses testifying against him, 2004.'
The teacher fainted.
As the class gathered around the teacher on the floor, someone
said, 'Oh shit, We're screwed!'
Little Hodiaki said quietly, 'the American people, November 4, 2008.'
