A Russian spy under the alias of “Joe Smith” is arrested by American officials. He is put in an interrogation room and confronted by an official, Agent Perry. Smith: “I don’t understand, why am I being interrogated?” Perry: “Drop the act, Smith, if that even is your real name. We know you’re a foreign spy!” Smith: “WHAT? No! I’m a real American, I can name all 46 Presidents of the United States, in order, with the dates of their inaugurations and their Vice Presidents.” Perry: “We still know you’re a spy!” Smith: “You’re all wrong! I can name all fifty states, US territories, and all their capitals!” Perry: “We still know you’re a spy!” Smith: “Wait… I know every word of the national anthem, the pledge of allegiance, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights! Perry: “We still know you’re a spy!” Smith: “Ok, I submit, I’m a Russian spy under a fake name. But… how could you tell?” Perry: “Because Americans don’t know any of those things.” Today's joke was taken from UpJoke.com |
