[America woke up that morning to a strange phone call asking why he hadn't been going to work. He'd been putting in plenty of hours at the autoshop, but apparently his new job was at the high school. It certainly explained why he'd gotten funny looks at the autoshop the day before.

Rather than get ready for work, he'll make a phone call.]Hey guys

...You. A geography teacher.

[supersizedpower]

That's right! Jealous?

[lotuslife]

I feel sorry for those children.

[supersizedpower]

I don't. If I didn't have this job, they'd probably have to really learn geography.

[lotuslife]

That's exactly why. Even here children should know the state of the world and where things are.

[supersizedpower]

How come?

[lotuslife]

Because education is important...! You probably can't even find me on a map, can you.

[supersizedpower]

Can too.

My boss showed me after you got important. It's easier my way because then I don't have to learn about anybody boring.

[lotuslife]

...How did you ever become a world power?

[supersizedpower]

I dunno. Mostly I did my own stuff and then England and Russia and France were like "save us, America!" so I did and then here I was!

[lotuslife]

That was a rhetorical question, you idiot.

[supersizedpower]

I know!

I was just answering!

[lotuslife]

Rhetorical questions do not need answers!! Idiot!!

[supersizedpower]

Are you an idiot?

Don't answer, it's rhetorical!

[a-a snort. and now she's coming back with an atlas, which she opens up to a (dated- to her, anyway) world map.]

Let's do a test.

[supersizedpower]

I don't have to prove anything, but fine.
