(Mrs. Ruthluss continues talking as Link leans in to Brad.)

(In another class much like the last Link and Brad with another handful of students sit behind desks. A male teacher walks in.)
Mr. King: Everyone do their homework? (Sitting at the edge of his desk)
Class: Yes.
Mr. King: THen lets review. Back in midevil times wars were won by numbers, much like it was until early Americans adopted gurilla tactics from the native Americans in the Revelutionary war. In midevil times a castle was the most mportant war winning post. Only a lengthy seige of the castle will the castle walls finaly give in. Depending on the supplies, the men inside, because back then we were al sexist basterds.
Domonique: That's okay, you can do all the fighting, just don't expect dinner to be good.
(The class laughs a little)
Mr. King: That being said, a castle will remain strong for days, months, and unlikely but possible, years. The point of a castle is to have a stong standing, and for the invading army to eventually give up. Can anyone make a guess as to why castles have become obsalete?
Link: Wemen grew tired of stone?
Samantha: Now who is being sexist, men probably didn't use castles anymore because they got fed up being locked in a castle with all the gosiping.
Link: So your saying it's mens fault.
Samantha: Isn't everything?
Brad: They became obsalete because modern warfare also includes aircraft.
Mr. King: Yes exactly. Castles are not fortified correcty for an airiel attack. Although I would get tired of the gossip. (he said smiling)
