    Just curious....
    (1) How many Americans could find the U.S. on a map?
    (2) How many could find their own arse when permitted the use of both hands and a flashlight?

      1) Several, I'm sure. Maybe several dozen.
      2) Even more -- heck, the infants don't even need the flashlight!

        I can't actually see my own ass. I'm sure it's there however.

          That has to be one of the least informative thread titles I've ever read.

            Though I have seen worse thread titles.

            I think it's time for another Apolyton geography quiz. Where was that one website. I can't believe how rusty I was. I used to be real good at geography. But my knowledge is outdated. I still remember most of Europe as it was during the height of the cold war. I had trouble figuring out where Belarus was.

              Well if it is a map of Europe

                  How about compusory service in Iraq for the 63% of 18-24-year-olds who can't find it any other way?

                    Then give them a map and compass so they can find their own way home.

                      Perhaps reinstituting the draft would make geography somehow more relevant to these idiots.

                        I hope that whoever enters the coordinates into the American ICBMs knows his geography.

                              mexico huh. Perhaps it's all the illegal immigration that is bringing out scores down.

                              I demand another test without illegal immigrants.
