Real Life Conversations in Class



Me: So the deal with the Qin Dynasty is that government critics were sometimes banished or executed.

Student: What does that mean?

Me: Well......banished means being sent away and killed......that's pretty much self-explanatory, right?

Exasperated student: No, I mean what is a government critic?

Me: Pretty much every voter in America last Tuesday.

I crack myself up.

9 years in college and still I can't spell for squat.
