Co-Worker #1: "...Let's ask James. He'll know."
James comes around the corner.
James: "What?"
Co-Worker #1: "When did Alaska become a state?"
James, without missing a beat: "1959."
Co-Worker #2: "Well, when did Hawaii become a state, then?"
James, again, without missing a beat: "1959... about six or seven months later. So, there's a brief period in between where the flag has forty-nine stars."
I spent the next hour filled with pride... and the next hour after that sitting, wondering if I indeed should be proud that my head is filled with such... stuff.
