If you don't know, please answer truthfully & don't reply with the answer.  Also, if you're not from the 'States' you don't have to answer this.

Reason I asked is because while @ the post office today the clerk was taking his own little polls on things. He mentioned one about having his shirt tucked in or not (one lady replied "I wouldn't mind if you didn't have a shirt at all"). He then mentioned the Old Glory poll he took of people about 25 yrs old or younger. He asked about 30 people or so & 2 people got it right. 1 person that got it wrong was a 5th grade teacher. I was sad when I heard that

He was quite pleased when he asked me a few things & I knew the correct answer.

I'm now starting to reconsider my belief that "Jaywalking" on the Tonight Show is faked.

Haha. I always thought it was real. Ever watch Street Smarts? That is depressing as well.

I'm good, esp @ American History.  I think I did quite well on my AP US History exam (not so well on the multiple choice but well on the eassays).
But eventually I get bored writing
