(I am sitting and waiting for an English class to start. Since the teacher is very intense, many of us often review our reading while we wait.)
Classmate #1: “For some reason, George Herbert’s name makes me think of Humpty Dumpty.”
Classmate #2: “That poem never made sense to me. ‘All the king’s horses and all the king’s men, couldn’t put Humpty together again.’ What were the horses gonna do? They don’t know how to use glue.”
(Cue everyone’s horrified expressions as we collectively realize the relation between horses and glue.)
