Can’t Bridge That Knowledge Gap

(Our high school orchestra is on a trip to New York City and the teacher has hired a woman to point out information and facts about certain landmarks for the educational aspect of it. At this point, she is talking about the Brooklyn Bridge.)

Tour Guide: “John Roebling was one of the lead architects on the Brooklyn Bridge but for the life of me I can’t remember where he was from.”

Almost Every Student On The Bus: “Saxonburg!”

Tour Guide: “No, that’s not right. Oh, well, moving on…” *rambles on about something else*

(Our school is from Saxonburg and we literally have a park named after Roebling with a little Brooklyn Bridge model in the park.)
