It was the first day of school and a new student named Huong, the son of a
Vietnamese businessman, entered year four in Australia.
The teacher said, "Let's begin by reviewing some Australian history.
Whosaid, "Vinegar Hill!"?
She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Huong. "Captain Henry Ross, Eureka
Stockade, Ballarat, 1854." He said.
"Very good! Who said 'We shall form a Commonwealth and govern from
Canberra'?"
Again, no response except from Huong: "General Sir John Monash, 1915.", said
Huong.
The teacher snapped at the class, "Class, you should be ashamed. Huong, who
is new to our country, knows more about its history than you do."
She heard a loud whisper: "Screw the Vietnamese." "Who said that?" she
demanded. Huong put his hand up. "Bruce Ruxton, 1975."
At that point, a student in the back said, "I'm gonna puke." The teacher
glares and asks "All right! Now, who said that?"
Again, Huong says, "Paul Keating, meeting Malaysian Prime Minister Dr
Mahathir, 1991."
Now furious, another student yells, "Oh yeah? Suck this!"
Huong jumps out of his chair waving his hand and shouts to the teacher,
"Gareth Evans, to Cheryl Kernot, 1999!"
Now with almost mob hysteria someone said, "You little shi*. If you say
anything else, I'll kill you." Huong frantically yells at the top of his
voice, "Peter Reith to Rear Admiral Chris Ritchie at the "children
overboard" enquiry, 2001." The teacher fainted.
And as the class gathered around the teacher on the floor, someone said,"Oh
shi*, we're in BIG trouble!".
Huong said, "Ansett Australia, 2001"!!
