I would be an American !

[QueenSheba]

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 Kristen has not gone along with the crowd.
The teacher asks her why she has decided to be different.

   "Because I am not an American."

  "Then", asks the teacher, "What are you?"

  "I'm a proud Canadian," boasts the little girl.

  The teacher is a little perturbed now, her face slightly red.
She asks Kristen why she is a Canadian.

  "Well, my mom and dad are Canadians, so I'm a Canadian too."

   The teacher is now angry. "That's no reason," she says loudly.
"What if your mom was a moron, and your dad was a moron.
What would you be then?"

   A pause, and a smile. "Then," says Kristen, "I'd be an American."

An American, a Scot and a Canuk were in a terrible car accident. They were all brought to the same emergency room, but all three of them died before they arrived. Just as they were about to put the toe tag on the American, he stirred and opened his eyes. Astonished, the doctors and nurses present asked him what happened.

"Well," said the American, "I remember the crash, and then there was a beautiful light, and then the Canadian and the Scot and I were standing at the gates of heaven. St. Peter approached us and said that we were all too young to die, and that for a donation of $100, we could return to the earth."

He continued, " So of course, I pulled out my wallet and gave him the $100, and the next thing I knew I was back here."

"That's amazing!" said one of the doctors, "But what happened to the other two?"

"Last I saw them," replied the American, "the Scot was haggling over the price and the Canadian was waiting for the government to pay for his."
