Polishing Weapons
2007 | Filed Under Academics |
Spent part of the afternoon in my office at work, polishing up my weapons. (The cadets are about to return to campus, you know.)
Anyway, I was in the midst of working on my sword — a beautiful battle-ready replica of the supposed sword of the Black Prince — when it struck me that perhaps, just perhaps, there aren’t many jobs where one is allowed to brandish blades in the office for the sake of instruction.
Thank God I’m a medievalist.

That is a very cool sword. So…when you say “battle-ready” are you expecting the cadets to be unruly this year? Or are we talking zombies?

Yeah, it would such to be an anthropologist; they only get sticks. And archaeologists only get rocks!
