Hate to break it too you, but American's joke about the Alamo a lot. Like, I would guess 9 outta 10 times it comes up, it's part of a joke.
I'd tell you one, but it's very forgettable.
9 out of 11 tasteless jokes Americans tell are 9/11 jokes.
And like that's a recent tragedy. I can't even tell ya when the Alamo happened.
As a Brit, literally all I really know about the Alamo is that Ozzy Osbourne once pissed on it while wearing one of Sharon's dresses.
As an american, I wish I knew that sooner!
