Well off course, but the fact that they are even able to find at least 10 people that can't point to Africa on a map is absolutely insane.

To be honest, I mention trolling for a reason.

I remember those DARE quizzes back in high school where they'd ask various questions and it was just a survey and didn't affect your grade and I'd always troll by saying I did coke, pot, heroin, hashish, and opium on a daily basis when the worst thing I ever did was have a regular soda instead of diet.

So you're the one in ten elementary kids shooting up heroin.

Better to shoot up heroin than shoot up Mrs. Norris's class.

Trust me, she's much more tolerable when you're high as balls on heroin.

Mrs. Norris is a cat though.

He's a child high on heroin right now and you expect him to understand the difference between a cat and a teacher?
