Turkey is gone

[golden_purple18]

 I remember, once in class, we had this girl, who liked to pretend she was smart. Keep in mind this is an advanced class, and everyone is supposed to at least a year ahead. Anyway, at some point, we get to talking about Turkey, they country, and she says "Turkey doesn't exist anymore

She sounds like a candidate for the old "Did you hear they took the word 'gullible' out of the dictionary?" gag.

or "oh my GOD there is someone writing the world "gullible" in the sky with a plane!!!" (:

I would personally prefer that you point up and tell her to look at the dead bird myself.

[seaofdestiny]

I fell for that one once.

i'll give her the benefit of the doubt that while she was stupid someone told her about the Istanbul/Constantinople thing.

lol

That's nobody's business but the Turks'.

(sorry, had to be done.)

[dream_a_fever]

haha
Istanbul was Constantinople. Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople, been a long time gone, Constantinople. Why did Constantinople get the works? That's nobody's business but the Turks. Istanbul!

There are no words. Only ♥.

maybe she got confused with Czechoslovakia or thought it was part of Yugoslavia. Most kids think of that area of the world as some amorphous blob

[lilshutterbug]

That's what I was thinking...

That doesn't make her any less stupid in my opinion.

But where will we get something to eat at Xmas if it's gone? Oh nooooooooooooooooo!

[robynz]
