Little Johnny was in the classroom bored to the back teeth on a Friday afternoon, and the teacher decided to have a game for the kids to get them thinking........
“Okay class. Now I'm going to say a famous quote, and the first person to tell me who said that quote, can have Monday off.” said the teacher
'Who is credited with writing the phrase, 'To be or not to be, that is the question’?” asked the teacher
Little Pham Lam Nguyen at the front of the class called out, 'Shakespeare'.
'Well done!' said the teacher, 'You can have Monday off
'No thank you Miss. I am of Vietnamese origin and it is in our culture to study as hard as we can, so I will be here on Monday studying hard.' said Little Pham Lam Nguyen.
'Well okay,' said the teacher.
The next quote is, “I had a dream!”
> Little Sum Kat also at the front yelled out “I bereiva it was Martin Ruther King!”
Well done!” said the teacher. 'You can have Monday off
“No thanka you miss I am of Chinese oligin and we also do not take time offa school. Education is evelything to us, so I will be in on Monday studying hard too.” said little Sum Kat
'Okay,' said the teacher.
Then she heard a voice from the back of the classroom, “F***ing Asians!
“Who said that?” yelled the teacher in an angry tone.
“Donald Trump!” yelled little Johnny. “See ya Tuesday ………..”

Oh dear. I'm going to laugh at this one, because although I have tremendous respect for differing cultures and I applaud diversity, some accents are just FUNNY privately, and the Great Gold Gazoo is a huge joke all on his own.

Yes - the way the brain interprets what we see and hear is really neat. The “average” person sees 30,000 advertising images a day (ads, street signs, etc) and our brain “filters” it out to not overwhelm our synapses. The end result is we filter and wrongly interpret all kinds of stuff.
Thats why a guy in a clown suit is at the side of the road waving a sign to get your attention for a sale at the paint store.
