– 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 Little Hodaiki 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 Hodaiki: ‘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, Hodaiki’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 Hodaiki isn’t from this country and he knows more about our history than you do.’
– She heard a loud whisper: ‘Fkk the Japs,’
– ‘Who said that? I want to know right now!’ she angrily demanded.
– Little Hodaiki put his hand up, ‘General MacArthur, 1945.’
– At that point, a student in the back said, ‘I’m gonna puke.’
-The teacher glared around and asks, ‘All right! Now who said that!?’
– Again, Little Hodaiki said, ‘George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991.’
– Now furious, another student yelled, ‘Oh yeah? Suck this!’
– Little Hodaiki jumped out of his chair waving his hand and shouted to the teacher, ‘Bill Clinton to Monica Lewinsky 1997!’
– Now with almost mob hysteria someone said, ‘You little sh1t. If you say anything else, I’ll kill you.’
– Little Hodaiki frantically yelled at the top of his voice, “Michael Jackson to the child witness testifying against him, 2004.’
– The teacher fainted.
– As the class gathered around the teacher on the floor, someone said, “Oh shit, we’re fkked!”
– Little Hodaiki said quietly, “Bob Diamond, Barclays Bank, 2012.”
