So I'm sure you've all seen the infamous Twitter page of "S*** my Dad Says", if you haven't and don't mind a little profanity, it is hilarious. (title above censored for the family oriented reader) Anyway, I was sitting in my British and French Colonies in the Middle East class with Prof. Sluglett and he was on quite the roll today with his little British musings. The below quotes should be read with a proper educated British accent:
On talking about British occupation of Palestine...
"Palestine turned itself into the most fantastic nuisance!"
Commenting on the American Revolution...(this was by far my favorite)
"Canada and New Zealand were much more polite about it."
After reading a very moving passage from the CM...
"The Communist Manifesto. Nothing better for a soggy afternoon."
After commenting on a few differences between Islamic and Christian societies...
"Well, I'm an atheist so it all seems rather dreadful to me."
Also, I messed up my foot last night by stepping on a nail. I tried to take a picture to share the gore, but my phone sucks and Clotilde has our camera. So, just imagine a regular foot, but like someone hacked away at the bottom a little, and that's pretty much what is going on. Yeah, I'm having a blast hobbling around my apartment trying to get stuff done. It's been a pretty craptacular week, but hey, it gives me an excuse to stay home tonight do homework... is it pathetic that that is a PLUS to me?

I had a professor who had the most annoying habit of using the word "citizen" when referring to anyone in the country - whether or not they actually had citizenship. He was an eco/evo teacher but he sure managed to use the word a lot anyway.
i do like that bit about the revolution. We weren't "polite." hehe
I will never wonder why Mr. Sluglett plies his craft outside of the competition of the marketplace.
