That Joke Will Be Winging Around For A While

(This takes place a few years ago when I’m a junior in high school. Due to not getting along with the previous year’s history teacher and not liking her teaching style, I am in the CP class. We are learning about how Americans used railroads to hunt buffalo for sport, almost to the point of extinction. The teacher has just finished explaining this when this happens.)

Girl #1: “But if buffalo are almost extinct, where do buffalo wings come from?”

(Safe to say, the whole class either laughs or groans.)

Girl #2: “[Girl #1]! Buffalo don’t have wings.”

Teacher: “Buffalo wings are chicken wings tossed in buffalo sauce.”
