Segway Around The Truth

(It’s the first day of my Texas History class for college and my professor asks all of us to introduce ourselves one at a time. My classmate to my right finally stands up to introduce herself.)

Classmate: “Hi, my name is [Classmate] and I’ve lived here for about five years. I work downtown at a Segway touring company.”

Professor: “Do you ever make up shit when you’re touring with people?”

Classmate: “All the time. They believe everything.”

Professor: “So if I get hired there, I can roll up to the Alamo and say ‘This is where Jim Bowie and his gay lover stood?'”

(The class starts to laugh and my classmate turns to my professor and smiles.)

Classmate: “I’ve already done that one, but yes, go for it. The more you do it, the more they believe you.”
