The amusing things I find in my history book.Oh you!Tumblr (3.0; @ohmyhistorybook)http://ohmyhistorybook.tumblr.com/If you think your book is amusing, you should have a gander at The American Pageant. It's like one enormous collection of bad poetry, terrible puns and unintentional innuendos. Makes reading interesting, at the very least (:Sounds awesome! Feel free to submit any of these terrible puns.http://ohmyhistorybook.tumblr.com/post/20504242921http://ohmyhistorybook.tumblr.com/post/20504242921Wed, 04 Apr 2012 22:16:29 -0400"When the Panamanian delegation arrived in Washington and read the [Hay—Bunau-Varilla] treaty,..."“When the Panamanian delegation arrived in Washington and read the [Hay—Bunau-Varilla]...http://ohmyhistorybook.tumblr.com/post/17659693055http://ohmyhistorybook.tumblr.com/post/17659693055Wed, 15 Feb 2012 11:02:05 -0500Hay--Bunau-Varilla treatyPanamaCanalBunau-Varilla7811620"It is estimated that the proportion of woman having sex before marriage rose from 10 percent to 25..."“It is estimated that the proportion of woman having sex before marriage rose from 10 percent...http://ohmyhistorybook.tumblr.com/post/17609555549http://ohmyhistorybook.tumblr.com/post/17609555549Tue, 14 Feb 2012 11:02:06 -0500Feminism1900sHistoryAPUSHsex7811620"Because little effort was made to censor movies before the early 1920s, movie directors were able to..."“Because little effort was made to censor movies before the early 1920s, movie directors were...http://ohmyhistorybook.tumblr.com/post/17554000409http://ohmyhistorybook.tumblr.com/post/17554000409Mon, 13 Feb 2012 11:02:05 -0500VampsMovies1900sHistoryAPUSH7811620"The words ‘sissy’ and ‘pussyfoot’ entered common usage in the 1890s as..."“The words ‘sissy’ and ‘pussyfoot’ entered common usage in the 1890s...http://ohmyhistorybook.tumblr.com/post/17490902507http://ohmyhistorybook.tumblr.com/post/17490902507Sun, 12 Feb 2012 11:03:05 -0500sissypussyfootAPUSHhistory1890s7811620"In what was surely the most abusive attack on a president ever delivered by a member of his own..."“In what was surely the most abusive attack on a president ever delivered by a member of his...http://ohmyhistorybook.tumblr.com/post/17428799596http://ohmyhistorybook.tumblr.com/post/17428799596Sat, 11 Feb 2012 11:03:05 -0500Cleveland1890sAPUSHHistory7811620What history book do you have for APUSH?This one. It is linked in all my posts.http://ohmyhistorybook.tumblr.com/post/17398555743http://ohmyhistorybook.tumblr.com/post/17398555743Fri, 10 Feb 2012 20:11:39 -0500"Women replaced men as telephone operators because they purportedly did not talk back to callers and..."“Women replaced men as telephone operators because they purportedly did not talk back to...http://ohmyhistorybook.tumblr.com/post/17374174029http://ohmyhistorybook.tumblr.com/post/17374174029Fri, 10 Feb 2012 11:02:05 -0500APUSHhistorytelephonewomen1890s7811620"They [museum administrators] discouraged such practices as blowing the nose with one’s..."“They [museum administrators] discouraged such practices as blowing the nose with one’s...http://ohmyhistorybook.tumblr.com/post/17320739752http://ohmyhistorybook.tumblr.com/post/17320739752Thu, 09 Feb 2012 11:02:05 -0500curmudgeonMark Twain1890shistoryAPUSH7811620"The U.S. attorney general ruled that government agencies need not change their clocks [to the..."“The U.S. attorney general ruled that government agencies need not change their clocks [to the...http://ohmyhistorybook.tumblr.com/post/17266532742http://ohmyhistorybook.tumblr.com/post/17266532742Wed, 08 Feb 2012 11:02:05 -0500TRAINStime zoneshistoryAPUSH7811620"Lakota Indians tricked census to obtain more provisions from reservation authorities.
