Racetrack is in bold.
Hawkeye is in italics.
Mush is underlined.
Is this woman speaking English?
Who? Mrs. Rogers?
Yes!
Nope. Hey, Race, how was chemistry?
Stupid.
You or the class?
Both! It's like listening to someone speak in Chinese!
And in this class, it's like listening to someone speak in BORING!
Race, you asked anyone to the fair yet?
Not quite.
Oh for gawd's sake!
Hawkeye ripped out another piece of paper from her notebook and scribbled something down before passing it—throwing it rather, to Racetrack.
What was that about?
Nothinggg…
Come on, guys, let me see.
-coughs-
Was that a hint-cough or an I'm-choking-cough?
Hint -cough-.
Why would she write cough if she was choking?
To tell us.
Wouldn't you hear me choking to death?
Not if you were doing silent choking.
Silent choking?
You can't silently choke.
Yes you can! I know this guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who—
"Mr. Meyer!"
Mush looked up from the note, "Yes?"
Mrs. Rogers wasn't the brightest lamp in the shop—in fact, she was so dim, one would never think to place her anywhere near a lamp shop.
"Mr. Meyer, are you taking notes back there or just giggling?" she asked, trying to seem stern, but failing miserably. She looked more like a confused turtle.
Mush shook his head, "Actually, I'm telling Daphne and Anthony about silent choking. You know, Mrs. R, I know someone who silently choked to death." Mush nodded seriously. Racetrack and Hawkeye rolled their eyes.
"Oh, okay," Mrs. Rogers nodded before turning back to the white board and writing down the answer to the problem she was mumbling about.
—who has a grandmother whose second cousin knows the girl who's married to this guy whose sister's best friend's aunt knows someone who silently choked to death.

But he was by himself when he died… in bed… alone… and old… like, really, really, really old! He was like a hundred and two or something, see how old that is? It's like, insanely old! In fact, if I didn't know any better, I'd say he died of old age! …Oh… that's right… never mind.
