"Ask a Slave" makes depressingly stupid tourist questions hilarious

I met her back when I worked at Mount Vernon; this video is awesome. (Mt Vernon actually does some good stuff with interpretive history and slavery; the questions people ask, though, are mind-boggling.) I was once carrying a router across the historic area (technically a no no) in my IT services shirt and was asked if that cow was born when Washington lived here. (No, but he did plant that Pecan tree that's threatening to fall and crush the mansion.)

Anyways, this is hilarious...
