yaksha42So after my Management class ended at 3, I had 2 hours to kill until work started. I found munk, and he had a class from 3 - 4. History. So I decided to sit in, having nothing else to do.
Prof. Sherwood was talking about the beginnings of World War I. I've had her as a teacher before. She's very old and very senile. A lot of times, if she asks you a question and you respond, you don't know if you got it right or if she's having a heart attack. So anyway, about half way through the lecture, she stops and hands out note cards for a quiz. She really had no idea I was there. Just another student. So I got a note card to put my quiz answer on.
She asked us to write about one of the countries involved in World War I. As much info as we knew. So I decided to write about France. My answer went something like this: France's strategy in World War I was to hurl delicious pastries into the German trenches, allowing them to grow fat and lazy and a rather fast speed. That, coupled with horrible restaurant service, and causing confusion among the Germans by using the word "chips" instead of "french fries", led to a systematic demobilization of the German army.
I wonder what kind of grade I got :D I also put my name as "Yaksha Kubera."
