Pedro
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 answered, "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, teacher 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 shit, we're in BIG trouble now!"
> >
Pedro whispered, "Saddam Hussein, 2003."
> >
Finally someone throws a eraser at Pedro, someone shouted "Duck"!
Teacher, just waking, asked "Who said that?
> >
Pedro: Dick Cheney 2006!
