Happy Birthday, Debet!
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Did she use the example from David Copperfield ?
I don’t think so and I suspect I would remember if she did. It was English Lit I took from her - we had a series of subs before she took over, we read an excerpt from Beowulf 3 times because each sub had us start at the beginning of the textbook. We *must* have read some Dickens, right? Maybe A Christmas Carol. But there was no crossover between the two classes, I don’t think.
Free Enterprise was part of the Social Studies curriculum, we did Civics as freshman, American History sophomore year, and Free Enterprise for half of junior year (what went in the other half? Not like there were a bunch of one semester electives lying around to fill that in. Hmm) and that was all that was required for that. I remember a lot from Civics and History (and the World History class I took as an elective senior year) but nothing from Free Enterprise

And the econ class I took in college the prof read from his work-in-progress novel the beginning of each lecture and our final was cancelled because he had to go to rehab, so I wouldn’t say I got a good grounding there.
