Four Brothers Moved To America

Four brothers moved to America, planning to learn English through immersion.

The first brother decided to learn by listening to the radio.

He started on a classical/opera station and learned to sing, “Me! Me! Me! Me! Me!”

The second brother jumped right in by getting a job at a restarunt and learned to say, “Forks and knives! Forks and knives!”

The third brother, following the second brother’s lead, got a job at a candy store and learned to say, “Goody, goody gum drops!”

Finally, the fourth brother opted to sit in front of the tv all day and from his favorite commercial learned to say, “Plug it in, plug it in!”

One day the four brothers were walking down the road when they came across a dead woman laying on the side walk.

A police officer runs up to them and asks, “What happened here?! Who killed this woman?!”

The first brother sang the only words he had learned, “Me! Me! Me! Me! Me!”

The policeman then continues, “O-okay. That was easy. Well, how did you kill her?’

To which the second brother replied, “Forks and knives, forks and knives!”

The officer, stunned, shouts,”Everyone on the ground, you’re all under arrest!”

The third brother, knowing nothing else, says “Goody, goody gum drops!”

The police officer can’t wrap his head around what he’s hearing and finally tells them bluntly, “You people are disgusting, I hope they give you the electric chair!”

And of course, the fourth brother has to contribute, “Plug it in, plug it in!”
