Famous Quotes

One Friday morning, a teacher came up with a novel way to motivate her class. She told them that she would read a quote and the first student to correctly identify who said it would receive the rest of the day off.

She started with:

- This was England's finest hour.

Little Suzy instantly jumped up and said:

- Winston Churchill.

- Congratulations - said the teacher - you may go home early.

The teacher then said:

- Ask not what your country can do for you, but..

Before she could finish the quote, another young lady belts out:

- John F. Kennedy!

- Very good - says the teacher - you may go also.

Irritated that he has missed two golden opportunities, Little Johnny said:

- I wish those girls would just shut up.

Upon overhearing this comment, the outraged teacher demanded to know who said it. Johnny instantly rose to his feet and said:

- Bill Clinton. I'll see you Monday.
