True conversation from history class yesterday:

Dumb girl #1: "Wasn't Christopher Columbus Spanish?"

Teacher: "No! He was Italian."

Dumb girl #1: "But he sailed for Spain?"

Teacher: "Yes, but he was Italian."

Dumb girl #2: "Wait, I don't get it..."

Dumb girl #1: "So why did he sail for Spain?"

*class groans*

Teacher: "Because they hired him to?"

Me: "Because they paid him to!"

Dumb girls #1 and #2: "But doesn't that make him, like, Spanish?"

Class: *collectively* "NO!"

Guy in the corner: "Oh my God..."

Guy behind me: *slams head on desk*

Teacher: "NO! That's like saying if you work for a European company, you're European."

Dumb girl #1: "But, you are..."

Me: *exchanges look with friend in next seat over and pantomimes shooting self through head*

Dumb girl #1: "...wait..."

Class: *speechless*
