301--InterComm 3rd Period

Today you should be learning more about the construction of messages. You should be getting an introduction to the power inherant in construction. You should be engaged in discussion.

Barbossa stood up and gave a CJ a cocky smile.

"Ballpoint pens be the best invention since pre-sliced bread, which they also be not havin' where I be from. Ballpoint pens be makin' it easy fer ye to write a 'Dear Jane'-type letter in a hurry, fer instance, when yer ship might be headin' out t' sea t' avoid any legal sort o' trouble. In the time o' quills, ye be needin' t' blow on the paper t' make the ink dry faster, and thar could be splotches that be muddlin' yer message as it were."

He looked down at his notes. "The ballpoint pen also be not runnin' out o' ink near as quickly as a quill or a reed pen be doin', and also be far less apt t' spill ink on ye if ye be hittin' a patch o' rough seas." He frowned. "Which would lead t' a decrease in beatings fer cabin boys who be accidentally spillin' ink when it be not their fault, but rather the fault o' the ham-handed idiot at the wheel."

He cleared his throat. "Anyway. Thar be ballpoints that can right upside down or underwater or even in space, which be not as impressive t' me, but I be sure thar are some here who be findin' that interestin'." He put his papers down. "So everyone should be buyin' more ballpoint pens. And usin' 'em all the time."

She absolutely does not dissolve into fits of laughter, but certainly marks an A by Barbossa's name in the gradebook.
