Basic Instructions by Scott Meyer for March 21, 2018

This would be funny if it wasn’t true.

My 48 year old secretary didn’t know Lincoln was a Republican.

Your ancestor was a herring?

And of course, there were probably no Americans involved in the battle of the Bismark.

(Except, perhaps your odd Canadian….)

Johnny Horton had a song about the sinking of the Bismark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KecIdlEAKhU

For those who don’t know. The Bismark was the pride of the German navy of WWII. It was a testimony to the passing of the battleship as the king of the ocean. While it was sunk by surface ships, naval air units where instrumental in its demise.

Fought in North Dakota?

They should add that to the Miranda rights, “You have the right to remain ignorant.”

Sadly too true to be funny.

I don’t understand. Why don’t Americans like history? Is it because you don’t have much yet?Don’t give up.. more will happen, and given your electoral incompetence, it will probably be interesting :-)
