It was the first day of school and a new student named Costas, the son of a Greek immigrant restaurateur, 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 Costas, who had his hand up.



"Patrick Henry, 1775"



"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 Costas: "Abraham Lincoln, 1863.", said Costas.



The teacher snapped at the class, "Class, you should be ashamed. Costas, who is new to our country knows more about its history than you do."



She heard a loud whisper: "Screw the Greeks." "Who said that?" she demanded.



Costas put up his hand. "Benito Musollini, 1943".



At that point, a student in the back said, "I'm gonna puke."



The teacher glares and asks "All right!, Now, who said that?"



Again, Costas says, "George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister,
1991."



Now furious, another student yells, "oh yeah? Suck this!"



Costas 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."



Costas 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 shit, we're in BIG trouble!"



Costas said, Saddam Hussein, 2003."
