Huh.....

School Nite

Tonight I had my 3 hour history class. US History to be exact. My teacher is a fat, perky man with interesting facial expressions. From what I can tell he gets off on memorizing peoples names and telling bad jokes. He went to school for 27 years. He has two masters degrees -- and a double PHD in History and Higher Education Administration.

Here are the two things I learned tonight:

1. What do you call an Irishman that hangs out in your backyard? Answer at the end of the post

2. Renaissance means "rebirth"

Yes, this is all fact.

Mr. Smith, that's his name, used the ethnically descriptive term "Chinese" several times during class. And while doing this he reached up, pulled his eye lids from the center of his face outward toward his ears,to mimic an Asian looking face.

Oh_My_God.

THEN he said, during a conversation with another student during break regarding this kids last tour of Duty at Ft. Dick, "Can you believe they're trying to change the name to Ft. Genitalia!?" and then his hearty laugh followed.

Oh_My_My.

He also drives all the way from Pennsylvania to teach History at our little community college here in Virgina.
