Profile photo for Joseph Ray Mancini

As normal, between 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. I was at my carrel, my university assigned doctoral students there own carrel to study in. I picked on over looking the quad. Why, is another story. It was about 6 p.m. and my roomate rusty came over and said, Joe, be real quiet follow me. So, I follow him. We went down a row of books and stopped. He whispered, just listen. A conversation was going on at one of the tables on the other side of the rack of books. They were talking about the Battle of Gettysburg. There were 2 girls, pretty sure they were freshman and 2 boys, probably junior or seniors. The boys were trying to show how smart they were telling the girls stuff they knew about the battle. Rusty whispered, have you heard enough, would you like to do it again (I had done things like this before, with the results of alot of red faces and smiles. So I walked up to the table and asked, may I point out a few things, The girls said sure, for the next 10 minutes a tore up the information the boys were saying were true. I said have a nice evening and made my way out. Rusty stayed around for his favorite part in all this. One of the girls said, how can he know all of that, he talks like he was there. Then Rusty says, with a big cheshire cat grin on this face, how do you know he wasn’t. Then he left, the boys were red faced and the girls were all smiles.
