How the Mighty Have Fallen
By Robert W Kilgour
George and his girlfriend were walking down the road. George slipped and landed on his back, unconcious. His girl dutifully called an ambulance. When George came to, he was in an ambulance with a paramedic leaning over him.
"How the hell did that happen!" George exclaimed, as indicated by the exclamation mark after his dialogue. Given it was a question as well, then perhaps a question mark should have followed.
"You slipped on some urban fox shit sir" the paramedic replied
"Damn those urban foxes!"
"I supported the hunting ban myself" said the paramedic conversationally. "Now can you tell me your name?"
"Geroge Mighty"
"Thank you"
George later died of complications.

Thought of the day-There's not a single student that hasn't been tempted to submit an essay in comic sans font

That was the best thing I've read all day.

And I read a story about a woman who was raped and turned into a bear.

A lecturer went into fits of giggles during class when she recalled a student who used to give her essays in gothic font, and how she had to give him A's because his writing was pretty good.

The giggling was disturbing though. She jiggled.
