Writing Teacher: Okay, did any of you go to the Mike Tidwell speech yesterday?

(a couple of students raised their hands)

Writing Teacher: Good, what did you think about it?

Student: I think he made a valid argument about global warming.

Writing Teacher: Nice, I remember when someone asked Tidwell about him writing his book, and he described writing as a mysterious art form where only a few in the general population can tap into. What you think about what he said?

Student: I think that he discussed how writing can has a sort of aesthetic value to it.

(long pause)

Writing Teacher: You know what I think about what he said?

Student: What?

Writing Teacher: I think that he's full of shit.
