Fun with History...

I love my discussion lab for my History class. It's a small group from our huge lecture hall, to talk on a more personal level about the material in class. My friend Alan and I always get a kick out of it because we know what's going on, and we just make jokes that make us look dumb, like when we side with hardcore Warhawks, Big Business, or McCarthyists.

Today in class:

Teacher: "...now, Carter was our president during the Iranian Hostage Crisis. We had 53 hostages at the U.S. Embassy, taken over by a few hundred Iranian students. If you guys were Carter, what would you do first?"

Me: "GROW PEANUTS!"

Alan: *raises hand* I'd have a big, sweet Black Hawk helicopter full of Special Forces agents land it on top of the building and raid the Embassy! It'd be so awesome!
