It is near the end of the school year. The teacher has turned in the grades and there is really nothing more to do. All the children are restless because of this.
Teacher: "Whoever answers the questions I ask, first and correctly can leave early today."
Little Slat says to himself "Good, I want to get outta here. I'm smart and will answer the question."
Teacher: "Who said 'Four Score and Seven Years Ago'?"
Before Slat can open his mouth, Susie says, "Abraham Lincoln."
Teacher: "That's right Susie, you can go home."
Slat is mad that Susie answered the question first.
Teacher: "Who said 'I Have a Dream'?"
BeforeSlat can open his mouth, Mary says, "Martin Luther King."
Teacher: "That's right Mary, you can go."
Slat is even madder than before.
Teacher: "Who said 'Ask not, what your country can do for you'?"
Before Slat can open his mouth, Nancy says, "John F. Kennedy."
Teacher: "That's right Nancy, you may also leave."
Now Slat is boiling mad that he has not been able to answer to any of the questions.
When the teacher turns her back Slat says, "I wish these b***hes would keep their mouths shut!"
The teacher turns around: "NOW WHO SAID THAT?"
little Slatten: "BILL CLINTON. CAN I GO NOW?"
poor Slat didn't get to leave early
he had to clean the black board
