"Well before you start crying because we've come to our last class together," Josh said, "have a bagel and a cup of coffee or hot chocolate or whatever in the back. Then grab an exam and try not to let your tears of despar make it impossible for me to grade what you wrote."

Thanks for that, Josh.

"See you around this summer--I'm teaching a field trip course if you're not graduating, and if you are, well, remember that I went to both Harvard and Yale and that makes me just about the coolest person you'll ever meet."

Uh huh.

"Have a good summer."

Joker was from the future, and grew up in space. His school history curriculum may have been America-heavy, but there was a whole galaxy's worth of history to cram in there as well. On top of that, "America" in his time included Canada and Mexico.

All of that meant that, despite him having written down a good 40 names, only 25 or so were actually U.S. presidents from before 2014, and the rest were a mixture of future presidents, Mexican presidents, and Canadian prime ministers. Also "Margaret Thatcher" and "Boutros Boutros-Ghali".
