“War is God’s way of teaching Americans geography.”
From The Devil’s Dictionary, 1906
I am now considering naming my firstborn Ambrose because this quote is that good. Can you believe this was said 100 years ago? I had always assumed that this country’s geographic ignorance was a relatively modern problem. Apparently, it has always been this bad.
Too funny! And really, quite tragic at the same time.
Definitely one of those “laugh or cry?” moments.
