'Now I'm going to quote a famous sentence and you should tell me who said it and what the date was' says the teacher. 'I regret I have only one life to give for my country' she repeats. 'Now who said that?' A little voice in the back says 'Nathan Hale, 1776' The teacher says 'Stand up so everyone can see you' It turns out to be a little Japanese kid. 'Isn't that nice' the teacher says, 'only in this country a few years and already knows more American history than the rest of you.' Another voice in the back yells 'Fuck the Japs!' The teacher angrily yells 'Now who said that!!!' A little girl up front stands up and says... 'Lee Ioccoca, 1976'. ***************************************************************************** Mike B. "Well everyone else thought it was funny..."
