..... The teacher had turned in her grades; there was
nothing really for the class to do.
All the kids were restless and it was near the end of
the day. So the teacher thought of an activity. She
said, "The first ones to answer correctly the questions
I ask may leave early today." Little Johnny said to
himself, "Good, I'm smart and I want to get outa here."
The teacher asked, "Who said 'Four Score and Seven Years
Ago'?" But before Johnny could open his mouth, Susie
said, "Abraham Lincoln?"
The teacher said, "That's right, Susie. You may go."
Johnny was mad that Susie had answered first.
The teacher asked, "Who said 'I Have a Dream'?" But
before Johnny could open his mouth, Mary said, "Martin
Luther King!"
The teacher said, "That's right, Mary. You may go."
Johnny was even madder than before. Mary had answered
first. The teacher asked, "Who said 'Ask not what your
country can do for you'?" Before Johnny could open his
mouth, Nancy piped, "John Kennedy!"
The teacher said, "That's right, Nancy. You may go." Now
Johnny was furious! Nancy had answered first.
Then the teacher turned her back, and Johnny
muttered, "I wish these girls would keep their mouths
shut!"
The teacher spun around. "WHO SAID THAT?"
Johnny said,
"BILL CLINTON. CAN I GO NOW?"
