English Lit teacher: The lesson for today...(on and on)
loud student: blah blah blah
English Lit teacher: Young man, silence please.
loud student: blah blah blah
English Lit teacher: I've asked nicely...
loud student: blah blah blah
English Lit teacher: (leaning over the young man) Who says nothing
is prepared for everything. A word of yours allowed to drop may be seized
in some unknown system of wheels, and your utter destruction
be compassed in its complex machinery.
loud student: What's that supposed to mean?
English Lit teacher: SHUT-UP!
loud student: (cricket noise in silence)
English Lit teacher: (to himself) Thanks, Victor.
