Not A Word--Lots of Words

Pirate's Parrot: We could take the whole period!

Wise Woman: Pirate's Parrot...calm down.

Wise Woman: We can work out the whole thing multiple times tomorrow and see how it goes.

Pirate's Parrot: Do you think Hannibal was calm when he conquered Rome's armies at Cannae and stood nearly at her gates? Do you think Alexander was calm when he conquered most of Asia and found himself Persia's "legitimate" heir? Do you think Chamberlain was calm after the Munich conference when he though he had bought "peace for his time?" No, I didn't think so.

Wise Woman: Pirate's Parrot...

Wise Woman: That explanation was rather frightening.

Pirate's Parrot: Not that I'm like Chamberlain. It's not like I'm weak and indecisive and petty...stop looking at me that way.

The Nightmare Continues

Pirate's Parrot: Can we quickly review Chem?

Wise Woman: Em sure...bring it on.

Pirate's Parrot: Why does "p" not have a coefficient?

Wise Woman: Coefficient?

Wise Woman: Explain please.

Pirate's Parrot: The abbrev. config (why is abbreviated not brief?) does not have a coefficient for "p."

Wise Woman: Really?

Wise Woman: Oh crap.

Pirate's Parrot: Please don't tell me this is news.

Wise Woman: I can see that, but not why

Pirate's Parrot: That would crush me.

Wise Woman: You are now crushed.

Pirate's Parrot: Dented.

Pirate's Parrot: But not completely squashed.

Wise Woman: That too.

Pirate's Parrot: Next question.

Wise Woman: Yes...
