First day in class at an american school.
The class's teacher introduces a new student, Sakiro Suzuki
(the son of the chairman at Sony Inc.)
The lesson starts.
Teacher:
"Let's see who has a good command of american history. Who
said : GIVE ME FREEDOM OR DEATH?"
Silence in the classroom.
Suzuki raises his hand:
"Patrick Henry 1775 in Philadelphia"
"Very good Suzuki. And who said: The state is the people and
the people may not [fail/go down/go under]"
[I don't know the original US Statement's translation :/ ]
Suzuki stands up :"Abraham Lincoln 1863 in Washington."
The teacher looks upon her students and says ..
"Shame on you, Suzuki is japanese and knows more about
american history than any of you"
A small voice barely audible pipes up from the background:
"Kiss my ass you japanese shitheads".
"Who said that?!" the teacher demands ..
Suzuki raises his hand and speaks without awaiting permission:
"General McArthur 1942 at the panama canal and Lee Iacocca
1982 at the congregation of the supervising board of General-Motors."
The class is perfectly silent, from the far back someone announces ..
"I'm gonna have to vomit."
The teacher shrieks "WHO SAID THAT?!"
Suzuki answers: "George Bush Senior to the japanese first minister Tanaka 1991
during lunch in Tokio"
One of the students - obviously aggravated - stands up and
calls out "Suck my ****!"
Teacher: "Enough of this now! Who was that?"
Suzuki unflinchingly answers .."Bill Clinton to Monica Levinsky 1997 in
Washington in the oval Office of the Whit House".
Another student gets up and yells :"Suzuki you piece of sh*t!"
Suzuki: "Valentino Rossi at the Motocross Grand Prix in South-Africa 2002"
The class goes hysterical, the teacher faints ..
The door swings open and - enter the headmaster -
"Shit I've never seen a mess quite like this."
Suzuki: "The austrian chancellor Schüssel after being presented
with the annual budget by Grasser, the minister of finances."
[Enter local punchline here]
-- End --
Come to think of it after all this translating it does not sound as
much fun anymore. I had to do it tho and now you shall suffer
as well.

I shall not misspell my own country.
I shall not misspell my own country.
