TIFU by correcting my American History teacher

Here's the story:

Okay. That's two FUs today. FML. Okay here we go again. The first FU happened today, a number of hours ago. The original post was from minutes after. Some backstory: I am a good student, one of the best in the class. I'm usually quiet and just take the notes. The teacher is a pretty cool guy, but whenever he is pissed, he uses the word, "stinkin'" profusely. It's hilarious. Good thing is, I can keep from laughing... most of the time. On to the story. My teacher hands out all of the outlines, information, etc... about the Cold War in Asia which we will be talking about. He runs to the back of the room to his computer to start the PowerPoint that we will take notes from. I have my head down while I'm reading through some of the stuff, when my friend nudges me and points to the screen at the front of the room. I look up and, I shit you not, there is this giant picture of Africa with the top half filled in with the flag of the Soviet Union and the bottom with an American flag. Uncle Sam sporting a bald eagle on his shoulder is also present. At the bottom, the words "COLD WAR-ASIA" are riddled with bullet holes. (Thanks to /u/Cranser for making this for reference) It is one of the most 'MURICAN things I have ever seen. I start to laugh, but quickly stop myself. The teacher doesn't notice. He goes on talking about the quizzes and the test that we will have over this and when he finishes, I raise my hand. "Umm, I pretty sure that's Africa." I say He gives me this dead stare and responds, "Nope. It's Africa. Look at the bottom" I look at the image again, and the ridiculousness of it hits me full force. I try not to laugh as I reply, "I think you're wrong. I'm pretty sure that's Africa." That was the FU. Right there. I can see in his eyes that he is pissed. I know exactly what's about to happen. "ARE YOU STINKIN' SERIOUS? DO YOU STINKIN' THINK THAT I'M STINKIN' STUPID ENOUGH TO STINKIN' MIX UP ASIA WITH STINKIN' AFRICA?!? YOU'VE GOT TO BE STINKIN' KIDDIN' ME! I DONT NEED YOUR STINKIN' SMART REMARKS IN MY STINKIN' CLASSROOM! GET OUT! GET OUT RIGHT STINKIN' NOW!" (Thank you to /u/Heysoos_of_Arlandria for helping keep the pinnacle of the story alive) I fucking lose it. I start laughing. I can't stop. I'm laughing so hard my face starts to turn red and I start crying. I'm choking now, because of the laughter. It's so bad, I almost puked right there. I get up to go to detention when I trip on the bag of the girl that sits in front of me. I stumble and knock my elbow on the desk in front of her trying to catch my self. I'm now at the front of the room. My face is beet red, there are wet streaks from tears, and I'm cradling my elbow as I walk to detention. There was "chicken" in the original story. TL;DR I tried to correct my 'MURICAN History teacher but ended up almost asphyxiating myself and nearly breaking my arm. The second FU was me somehow replacing the whole damn post with a comment I tried to edit. FM
