"History Major, Obviously"
We were in a regional Americas class back in
high school, and the teacher was talking about
Simon Bolivar. She mentioned the vast number
of statues of Bolivar scattered around South
America, and said there were probably more
statues of him than of anyone but Lenin.
Brilliant girl in the front row raises her hand, and
in her transfer Southern drawl asks, "JOHN
Lennon?"

"The Little Key With The Up Arrow"
I was sitting in my Computer Studies class doing
absolutely no work, when my mate Faye ran over
and said, "Sarah! Sarah! I just found out this
GREAT thing!"
So I said, "What?"
"When you press down that key with the up arrow,
and press a letter, it comes out as a CAPITAL!
Isn't it great! Now I don't need to keep hitting the
caps lock key!"
We have been doing computer studies for 2 years...

"Vegetable By-Product"
In a class I attended a while back, we were
discussing vegetarians. This one girl -- already
well known as the class idiot -- piped up with,
"I'm a vegetarian -- I don't eat meat, only
sausages and burgers."
(Note: This was long before veggie burgers were
commonly available.)

"Geography Major, Obviously"
One of the girls in my school, we'll call her Mary, is
even more stupid than the 'veggie' girl.
We were in class on day, and we (keep in mind
that this person is 17 years old) were locating
state capitals as a review.
Her state was Washington. Her response?
"Washington, D.C."
