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 Little Akio, a bright foreign exchange student from Japan, 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 Little Akio: “Abraham Lincoln,  1863..”

“Excellent!” said the teacher continuing, “Let’s try one a bit more difficult — Who said, ‘Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country’?”

Once again, Akio’s was the only hand in the air and he said: “John F. Kennedy, 1961.”

The teacher snapped at the class, “Class, you should be ashamed of yourselves, Little Akio isn’t from this country and he knows more about our history than you do.”

She heard a loud whisper: “F_ _ k the Japs.”

“Who said that? — I want to know right now!? she angrily demanded..

Little Akio put his hand up, “General MacArthur, 1945.” 

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, Little Akio says, “George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991.”

Now furious, another student yells, “Oh yeah? — Suck  this!”

Little Akio 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!”

Little Akio frantically yells at the top of his voice, “Michael Jackson to the children testifying against him, 2004.”

The teacher fainted. As the class gathered around the teacher on the floor, someone said, “Oh shit, We’re screwed!”

Little Akio said quietly, “The American people, November 6, 2012.”

I would think this is an old joke that has been around since 2008.  The point of the joke is not about history, American education and little Akio but at the last sentence.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

We do not have turkey for Thanksgiving for years.  Since we eat turkey few times a month, even tough it is a whole bird on Thanksgiving day, kids do not seem special.  Additionally, without families around the area, we often had to eat leftover turkey for days.

Few years back, we had switched to do it yourself sushi for Thanksgiving.  This is truly a  special occasion since we only eat like this once or twice a year.  We had invited few families over the years.  Everyone love and enjoy it.

It is not difficult to prepare do it yourself sushi.  We mostly go either H-Mart or Uwajimaya for ingredients, such as raw fishes and roes, veggies and sauce.  Most important of all, it does not matter what kind of food you put in there as long as it is what you love to eat.  We have tried to put chicken, turkey and beef.  It is all delicious.

If you do not know how to prepare sushi rice and even lazy to use sushi seasoning mix, there is no problem at all.  For the past two or three years, there is a new kinds of roasted seaweeds mostly from Korea.  It has a light salted taste that is great to roll with food.

Once everything is on the dining table, everyone can mix any styles of food they like.  Who say sushi has to be rolled?  It is fun and entertaining for the whole family and guests.
