    I was in high school in the '80s. One day in history class we had a military recruiter come speak to us. After he was done the speaker said “any questions?” My buddy Rob raised his hand and said “yeah, I have a question: does napalm still stick to kids?” I’m still proud of Rob for that one.

        The teacher immediately said “OK no more questions” and that was that. Sorry, I wish this story had a better punchline.

        For the record yes, napalm does still stick to kids.

          Well fuck Rob for being curious I guess. If I were his teacher I would have laughed my ass off and gave him an A.
