Today, during a lecture, my teacher jokingly talked about the time he was best buds with George Washington. Another student then asked, "Really? You knew him?" I'm in an advanced placement U.S. history class. FML

Today, during class our teacher asked us, "Who is Uncle Sam?" A girl answered, "He's the guy who founded KFC, right?" I'm in an AP class and have to put up with these morons constantly. FML

Today, I was talking to one of my supervisors at my new job. He asked if I knew a professor at the school I recently graduated from, and I decided to babble on about how shitty of a professor he was and how much I loathed his class. He then looked at me and said, "That's my dad." FML

Today, my college instructor told me I hadn't actually failed a big exam as he originally said. It turns out he'd mixed me up with another student. Now thanks to the power of gossip, half my class thinks I slept with him so he'd switch my grade with the other student's. FML

Today in class I accidentally called my teacher very old and almost dead. As we were discussing a book I said that the book character is very old and close to death since it fitted to the context. Turns out this character is one year younger than my teacher and she wasn't amused. FML

Today, we were taking a bio quiz and I understood the subject, so the people sitting behind me asked me to help them out. Being a kind fellow classmate, I did. When the teacher got suspicious, she asked the class, "How are all of you getting the same answers?" everyone pointed directly at me. FML

Today, my teacher began to explain Veterans' Day and why it's on 11/11 to a new student from Iran. He said he already knew, but this was news to almost everyone else in the class. FML

Today, I found FML for the first time in class, and literally laughed out loud in the middle of the lecture in front of 200 classmates. Today's lecture? The cruelties of slavery. FML

Ah, George, that old rascal. I remember when he took his buddies out for a midnight row across the river to throw a surprise Christmas party. Good times...good times.

Maybe he was making a joke. I remember in 8th grade social studies I made the state of denial joke and nobody got it.

Unfortunately, it would appear that being in honors courses doesn't guarantee that everybody will be smart. In my DE History class we were talking about WWI and how Europe was called a a powder keg. One girl got really confused and asked if all the countries shared one big barrel of gunpowder -.-

Could the student simply be sarcastic? In my AP classes we joke around all the time

Hopefully the kid was, in fact, joking. My junior year in high school, I was in AP English. We had a substitute teacher one day and she was telling us about a near-death experience she'd had when she was younger. Towards the end of her story, a student blurted out, "Did you die?!" he was completely serious.

Almost as bad as the rumor some girls started in 6th grade saying that I was pregnant. The rumor continued each year until 8th grade, and when a girl asked me if it was true, I sarcastically mentioned, "Oh yeah. Apparently I've been pregnant for the last three years". Completely serious, she asked me, "Really?!" Face-palm....
