Good joke making the rounds...
It was the first day of school and a new student named Pedro Martinez, the son of a Mexican 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 Pedro, who had his hand up.
"Patrick Henry, 1775."

"Very good!" apprised the teacher. "Now, who said, "Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth?"

Again, no response except from Pedro: "Abraham Lincoln, 1863." The teacher snapped at the class, "Class, you should be ashamed! Pedro, who
is new to our country, knows more about its' history than you do!"

She heard a loud whisper: "Screw the Mexicans!"

"Who said that?" she demanded.

Pedro put his hand up. "Jim Bowie, 1836."

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

The teacher glared and asked, "All right! Now, who said that?"

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

Now furious, another student yelled, "Oh yeah? Suck this!"

Pedro jumped out of his chair waving his hand and shouting to the Teacher, "Bill Clinton to Monica Lewinsky, 1997!"

Now, with almost a mob hysteria, someone said, "You little shit. If you say anything else, I'll kill you!"

Pedro frantically yelled at the top ! of his voice, "Gary Condit to Chandra Levy, 2001."

The teacher fainted, and as the class gathered around her on the floor, someone said, "Oh S_ _ _, we're in BIG trouble now!"


Pedro whispered, "Saddam Hussein, 2003

2. That might be funny...
... if it hadn't been conclusively proven that Condit had nothing whatsoever to do with Levy's dissapearance.

4. Yeah, obviously written from a pro-Republican perspective.
Humorous, but could have been just as funny without made-up political references.

5. Sure, they could have changed the Condit thing . . .
But it's still funny!

And even though apparently entirely innocent of any involvement in Ms. Levy's disappearance and murder, Condit is a slimy shit and an embarassment to Democrats. It's no loss to have him gone from DC.

9. I'm often confused...
Edited on Mon Feb-14-05 11:05 AM by hootinholler
But all I said was the joke is making the rounds.

As for the right board, excuse my newness, is there a joke forum here?

OnEdit, I did say it was good, reflecting my opinion that it's funny, not accurate.

11. Instead of Gary Condit, that should be Joe Scarborough
And although I can laugh at Clinton and Lewinsky, the reference to Saddam is about as lame as it gets.

And why would they spell S___ when right above it the joke says "You little shit"?

13. Not a good joke, isn't even funny.
You have to figure out who make up these kind of jokes. It's clearly from a right winger.
