“I’ll never forget where I was when I heard that JFK was shot. Eighth grade history class”

U.S. President John F. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963. People who were alive at that time usually recall where they were when they first heard the news.
 
A joke involves people who were not alive at that time. “JFK was assassinated on this day I’m history. I remember right where I was when I heard about it…. history class most likely” was posted on Twitter by Adam Baxter on November 22, 2010. “Brillianto! RT @clarkekant I will never forget where I was when I heard the news that JFK was shot. (8th grade history class)” was posted on Twitter by Sambha on July 21, 2011.
