The Great Dave Debate.

You have all the wisdom of a rural Chinese farmer's daughter.

I read this quote aloud in class last night. It was met with guilty conscious laughter. Personally, my favorite kind.

I'm very curious to know about the context. If I did that, I'd probably piss off several Chinese students.

It was a graduate class studying the History of Rhetoric. We were discussing Quintilian and the topic came up that he was speaking only of teaching men. I remembered (actually looked up, as to not butcher) your comment.

The professor (after holding back his initial desire to laugh) mentioned, "that was both sexist and racist -all in one". At that, the laughter died, and we moved on.

I'm rather moved to have remotely instigated a moment of reserved awkward pause and laughter, even if it was by your oral delivery. That last part wasn't a dig, it was merely to highlight the lesser role I played. So what happens when you quote Dave, do you get arrested or hospitalized? Oh, that question was a definite list, I'm asking which one.

A lot of blank stares, followed by people ignoring me from then on. Just like here...

Does the misuse of too disturb you more than this ?
