My Mother sent me this forward and I just HAD to share!


A Somali arrives in Minneapolis as a new immigrant
to the United States. He stops the first person he
sees walking down the street and says, "Thank you Mr.
American for letting me in this country, and giving
me housing, food stamps, free medical care and free
education!"
The passer-by says "You are mistaken, I am Mexican".


The man goes on and encounters another passer-by.
"Thank you for having such a beautiful country here
in America!"
The person says "I no American, I Vietnamese."

The new arrival walks further, and the next person
he sees he stops, shakes his hand and says "Thank
you for the wonderful America!"
That person puts up his hand and says "I am from
Middle East, I am not an American!"

He finally sees a nice lady and asks suspiciously,
"Are you an American?" She says, "No, I am from
Russia!" So he is puzzled, and asks her, "Where
are all the Americans?"
The Russian lady looks at her watch, shrugs, and
says... "Probably at work!"
