    Joseph Flannery, a 7th grade Social Studies teacher, admitted he’s looking forward to his deployment.

    “I’m in my late 50s and I’m sad to admit I get winded walking from my car to my classroom, but I thought about it and I can either get shot in a war overseas or I can get shot by some active shooter while I do a lesson about the Revolutionary War,” said Flannery.

    Fucking gold.
