So over the weekend my girlfriend was telling me this story I've never heard before.
It's about the school teacher in the middle of nowhere Tennessee
who's teaching a bunch of kids about the Holocaust.
Gotta put the mic to your mouth, folks.
Start over, start over, start over.
Guys, give it up for Ryan Little, everybody. Here we go.
Thank you, thank you. Here we are.

Over the weekend my girlfriend was telling me a story
about the school teacher in the middle of nowhere Tennessee
who's teaching kids about the Holocaust.
And this sounds really dark, but this is actually
the true part of the joke.
These kids, they never heard of the Holocaust before.
She's trying to teach it to them.
And she realizes they can't rationalize
what six million dead bodies would be like.
They can't wrap their heads around it.
So she puts out this philanthropic call to arms,
asks people to send them paper clips.
So you try to show these kids just an idea of it.
And lo and behold, the news goes out nationwide, worldwide,
international communities are sending them paper clips.
Fucking Tom Hanks is mailing paper clips.
I know you're legit when Tom Hanks is mailing your presents.
but so they amassed 10 million paperclips
and they only needed six million.
And I'm working on this theory
that people think becoming smart
means you become less stupid,
but I think you always say this base level of dumb person.
And becoming smart means you have a little bit quick
on the draw of smarter things than dumb things.
But when she told me that they had 10 million paperclips,
even though only six million died, for whatever reason,
the first thing that went through my normal,
very Jewish looking, intelligent face was,
Fuck now we need to have another Holocaust
