Random Bonus Thought...

I was reading over the High School Meme post and was reminded of a story concerning Mrs Smith the Humanities teacher...

In my senior year, I had Mrs Smith's class immediately following the Civics and Government class taught by Mr Richard Horst. At one point Mrs Smith was teaching a section on the great European philosophers, and I told her that I was glad I had her class after Mr Horst's.

"Why?", she asked.

Because, I answered, it just wouldn't do to put Descartes before the Horst.

I never understood why she didn't fail me on the spot.
