[Shadeshi_Bondhu] A Bangladeshi ABUL in USA

Little Bangladeshi ABUL
It was the first day of a school in USA and a new Bangladeshi student named ABUL 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 ABUL, 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 ABUL.
'Abraham Lincoln, 1863' said ABUL.

The teacher snapped at the class, 'Class, you should be ashamed. ABUL, who is new to our country, knows more about its history than you do.'
She heard a loud whisper: 'F**k the Bangladeshis, '

'Who said that?' she demanded.
ABUL put his hand up. 'General Custer, 1971.'

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, ABUL says, 'Al Gore to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991.'

Now furious, another student yells, 'Oh yeah? Suck this!'ABUL 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..'

ABUL 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 sh*t, we're f**ked!'

And ABUL said quietly, I think it was George Bush, Iraq , 2007.'
