Wearing che guevara tshirts when i was in college my grandma sent me an antiche guevara tshirt that i proudly wore to my latin american studies course. [applause] you can imagine how well that went over. Specifically i were particularly when they would start on the same day. I knew that was in the lesson plan so it was great.
