STORY BY: George Burns
YEAR: 1963
LOCATION: Fort William, ON

On Nov 22, 1963, George had just failed a Grade 10 Latin exam, due to lack of study. He got home, and his mother told him that "John Kennedy has been shot." He looked at her and said, "you know, Mom, that really isn't funny." Thanks for sharing, George.
