Need help with a project

There is a poster due in my US history class about the Spanish American war. My group wants the title to be a pun, and preferably involves the USS Maine. Another group has the title "the Maine problem" so we can't use that. Please help and thanks.

Dad joked my students while I was student teaching

I asked the class if they knew which was the last war the U.S. officially had declared as a war.

Students threw out a few wrong answers, none more egregious than when I hear

Student: Syria!

Me: Syria?! Are you Ser-i-ous?!

I roared with laughter. I got a couple giggles from the students.

Dad joke in history class

Back in high school a friend and I had a history class together, and the teacher was giving a difficult verbal quiz about Europe in the 1600's. His turn was coming up.

Friend: leans over to me and whispers "Hey, what was the 30 Years War about?"

Me: whispers back "Uhhh... I think it was about 30 years."

Friend: glare

History Class Dad Joke

This was from high school before I became a dad, but I think it still qualifies.

My history teacher was lecturing on the Paris Conference following World War I. Specifically, he was discussing each of the world leaders in attendance and each of their aims for the treaty that would result from the conference.

He was going down the line of leaders and asking the class what each leader wanted in the treaty. For example, "Britain was represented by Prime Minister David Lloyd George. What did Mr. George want in the treaty?"

He got through Britain, France, and Italy, then he came to the United States, represented by President Woodrow Wilson.

He asked, "What did Mr. Wilson want?" I responded, "Dennis out of his life once and for all?"

He and I were the only people who laughed.
