A first grade teacher explains to her class that she is an American.
She asks her students to raise their hands if they were American too.
Not really knowing why but wanting to be like their teacher, their
hands explode into the air like flashy fireworks.
There is, however, one exception. A girl named Gita has not gone along
with the crowd.
The teacher asks her why she has decided to be different.
"Because I am not an American." replied Gita.
"Then", asks the teacher, "What are you?"
"I'm a proud Indian," boasts the little girl.
The teacher is a little perturbed now, her face slightly red. She asks
Gita. why she is an Indian.
"Well", my mom and dad are Indians, "so I'm an Indian too."
The teacher is now angry. "That's no reason", she says loudly "if your
mom was an idiot, and your dad was an idiot, what would you be then?" A
pause, and a smile.
"Then" says Gita, "I'd be an American."

1. Thank you. We're all refreshed and challenged by your unique point of
view.
2. I like you. You remind me of when I was young and stupid.
3. Someday, we'll look back on this, laugh nervously and change the subject.
4. I will always cherish the initial misconceptions I had about you.
5. Ahh... I see the fairy has visited us again.
6. I'm already visualizing the duct tape over your mouth.
7. How about never? Is never good for you?
8. The fact that no one understands you doesn't mean you're an artist.
9. I don't know what your problem is, but I'll bet it's hard to pronounce.
10. Any connection between your reality and mine is purely coincidental.
11. What am I? Flypaper for freaks!
12. I see you've set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in
public.
13. I'm not being rude. You're just insignificant.
14. It's a thankless job, but I've got a lot of bad Karma to burn off.
15. Yes, I am an agent of Satan, but my duties are largely ceremonial.
16. No, my powers can be used only for good.
17. I'm really easy to get along with once you people learn to worship me.
18. You sound reasonable... time to up my medication.
19. My toys! My toys! I can't do this job without my toys!
20. I'll try being nicer if you'll try being smarter.
21. I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message.
22. I don't work here . I'm a consultant.
23. At least I have a positive attitude about my destructive habits.
24. Who, me? I just wander from room to room.
25.It might look like I'm doing nothing, but at the cellular level I'm
really quite busy.
