I ain't that crazy about it. I think it's best left in the past.
Because itβs only interested in current events.

...but the art class is where I draw the line.
βStop interrupting! Itβs not your story, itβs βhistory.ββ
Edit: not sure how to express the pun of the word βhistoryβ so to clarify, itβs a play on βhis story.β
Me to my friend: I wonder if any Jewish kids found it unkampfortable to read?
It took her a few seconds before she groaned like hell.
I got full Marx.
They didn't make it that far in the human race though

So i was in history and my group was exchanging contact info for a project. My teacher says "Okay do you all have contacts now?" My fatherly instincts kick in, i raise my hand and say "Nope i still have glasses." Laughter ensues
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
My dad said: "I'm glad you're liking history, but don't go into it for a living. I hear the field has no future."
(It was funny, I swear. I'm just a bad storyteller.)
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.
Today in History Class, we were learning about FDR's New Deal, and my teacher brought up the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), which was part of FDR's many public works programs, this one being responsible for damming the Tennessee River for hydroelectric power, and the controversies surrounding it.
In response, I rose my hand and said, "Wow, the TVA must have caused alot of dam controversy."
Laughs were had by all, including the teacher.
