One Konkani family were living in Mumbai. Husband Subraya was working for Suzuki-Maruti Motor company and wife Yamuna was IT professional at Tata consultancy. After 4-5 years of hard work, Subraya got promoted to V.P. and Yamuna also got the IT job with the same company when the Company transferred the couple with Suzuki_Maruti international division to Japan.
A son was born to the couple after couple of years in Japan. Parents of the couple suggested that boy be named Hanumantha. The couple instead gave the modern name Maruti_Suzuki instead so that to keep parents happy and also Suzuki so as to avoid embarrassment while playing with his friends when the kid grows up. When Suzuki(Maruti) was about to enter 4th grade, the Konkani couple got promotion again and were transferred to California.
It was the first day of school in California for Suzuki, the son of a bright and intelligent Konkani couple, entered the fourth grade.
The teacher said, "Let's begin by reviewing some American history:--Who said 'Give me Liberty, or giveme Death?'"
She saw a sea of blank faces, except forSuzuki, who had his hand up. "Patrick Henry, 1775."
She said.” Very good! Who said 'Government of the People, by the People, for the People, shall notperish from the Earth'"?
-Again, no response except from Suzuki. "AbrahamLincoln, 1863.", said Suzuki.
The teacher snapped at the class, "Class, you should be ashamed. Suzuki, who is new to our country, knows more about its history than you do.
This riled the class a bit. She heard a loud whisper: "F**k the Japs."
"Who said that?" she demanded.
--Suzuki put his hand up. "Lee Iacocca, 1982."
At that point, a student in the back said, "I'm gonnapuke [vomit]".
The teacher glares and asks "All right! Now, who said that?"
Again, Suzuki says, "George Bush [Sr.] to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991."
Now furious, another student yells, "Oh yeah? Suck this!"
uzuki jumps out of his chair, excitedly waving his hand and shouts to the teacher, "Bill Clinton, to Monica Lewinsky, 1997!"
Now with almost a mob hysteria someone said, "You little shit. If you say anything else, I'll kill you."
---Suzuki frantically yells at the top of his voice,"[California Congressman] Gary Condit to intern Chandra Levy 2001."(The teacher fainted.)
And as the class gathered around the teacher on the floor, someone said, "Oh shit, we're f**ked!" ---and Suzuki said, "Americans,... in Iraq,2004!"
