Default Too smart for his own good

Apologies for the inferred language, just thought this was quite amusing, and rather topical. Mods delete if innappropriate.

It was the first day of a school in USA and a new Sri Lankan
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 " A 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: "**** 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 s**t. 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 f***ed!"
And Chandrasekhar said quietly,
"Robert Mugabe to his cabinet at the declaration of the presidential election results-April 2008."

Very funny!

On the last note of Mugabe - on QI last night it was pointed out that his name is appropriately - in reverse - E-Ba-Gum - with appologies to our Yorkshire friends.

And hopefully - the words, whilst hilarious - will come true for this most worthy of recipient of that status.
