From the mouths of babes…
It was the first day of a school in USA and a new Indian student named Chandrasekhar Subramanian 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 Chandrasekhar, who had his hand up: ‘Patrick Henry, 1775′ he said.
‘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 Chandrasekhar. ‘Abraham Lincoln, 1863′ said Chandrasekhar.
The teacher snapped at the class, ‘Class, you should be ashamed. Chandrasekhar, who is new to our country, knows more about its history than you do.’
She heard a loud whisper: ‘Screw the Indians,’
‘Who said that?’ she demanded. Chandrasekhar put his hand up. ‘General Custer, 1862.’
At that point, a student in the back said, ‘I’m gonna puke.’ The teacher glares around and asks ‘All right! Now, who said that?’ Again, Chandrasekhar says, ‘George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991.’
Now furious, another student yells, ‘Oh yeah? Suck this!’ Chandrasekhar 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.’ Chandrasekhar frantically yells at the top of his voice, ‘ Michael Jackson to the child witnesses testifying against him- 2004.’
The teacher fainted.
And as the class gathered around the teacher on the floor, someone said, ‘Oh shit, we’re screwed!’
And Chandrasekhar said quietly, “I think it was the American people, November 4, 2008 .”
Kinda funny.

So good, I copied and sent it to my mate in North Wales. It will probably rock him out of his wheelchair. The poor bugger has MS.
Good to see that Mauser is on the ball, saving me the effort of scurrying to my science textbooks.

Actually, the first name and surname are reversed.
Chandrasekhar Subramanian is an Astronomer or Astrophysicist, and Chandrasekhar’s limit is the minimum size a star needs to be to collapse into a black hole (about 1.4 times the size of our sun.)
That was a good one.
what timing. I adressed this subject just yesterday in another post
If this had stayed within the first three, instances, it would have been believable. Then again, that one about Custer got me laughing.
This kid would make a great stand-up comedian…if he truly existed
