Tell us a joke.
An American teacher meets his students for the first time. He asks a girl in the front desk to tell him her name. “I’m Christina” she replies. “Oh, lovely, like Christina Aguilera”. He goes on in the second row and asks a boy the same thing. “I’m Gary”. “Oh, lovely, like Gary Neville, the famous full back of ManU”. He then goes on in the third row and asks another girl. “I’m Angelina”. “Oh, lovely, like Angelina Jolie”. Then the teacher stands in front of George. “And you? What’s your name little fellow?”. “I’m George, sir”. “Oh, what a crappy name, like George Bush Jr.”.
George feels really embarrassed and insulted by his teacher’s comment. After a while, he raises his hand and asks politely: “And what’s your name, sir?”. “Glad you asked, my name is Al”. “Oh”, George laughs, “like Al-Qaeda will be ‘banging’ your mother, until she learns how many AK-47s are there in Afghanistan”.
