It was my turn to suffer the severe humiliation of which can
be inflicted by Mr. Schick in the event of the mispronunciation of a world
leader’s name. Today, I was forced to say Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. In order to
drill the correct pronunciation into my head, Mr. Schick made me say it one syllable
at a time, like this ma – mood – ach – ma – dine – jad. Then he made me put it
all together, then repeat the process until I correctly pronounced the name.
Some sad news, however, we shall no longer be able to make Hu Jintao jokes in
class because Hu Jintao is no longer the president of China…and Hu is not his
successorL.
We are very upset about this because you could go all day without the Hu joke
getting old. I mean really we would crack the joke every single time that Hu’s name came up in class. We also got our
quizzes back as well. Sadly, I got a 73%.
