I’d shoot myself if I taught history

Snippets of a conversation I overheard while eating lunch at Komplexify U’s snack bar.

Student 1: I heard that they’re making a National Treasure 2.  They’re filming up at Mount Rushmore and they’re looking for extras.

Student 2: Sweet!  I hear that extras get paid, like, $40 a day.  You can easily pocket $1000 just for showing up.

Student 1: Yeah, and you get royalties from the movie too.

Student 2: Sweet!

Student 1: I guess the plot is that Nicolas Cage uncovers the truth about Abraham Lincoln’s assassination.  He like finds the missing 16 pages of John Wilkes Booth’s diary.

Student 2: I heard it was Jefferson’s diary.

Student 1: Oh yeah… I guess that makes more sense.

….

Student 1: I heard the film crew cancelled Hill City’s prom at Rushmore so they could film there at night.

Student 2: Yeah.  Nicolas Cage is a dick.

….

Student 2: I wonder why they’re at Mount Rushmore?

Student 1: Dude, there’s like a secret chamber in Mount Rushmore where the government hides all sorts of classified secrets.  There’s a door under Washington’s mouth or behind Jefferson’s ear or something.

Student 2: That was Team America, retard.

  2. Wow. Just Wow. Well, we got back at them when they were filming. The Aero team and the UAV team managed to score a free ride on a Black Hawk helicopter from the SD ANG and flew over Mt. Rushmore. Not only did the teams get good footage from a unique vantage point they also got a middle finger from one of the film crew probably from ruining their shot.
