Another Great Moment in Student Service. . .

. . . Or, "Teacher of the Year"?  I'm Lucky I Haven't Been Shot!

STUDENT: Excuse me, I'm looking for a writing group that's supposed to be meeting somewhere around here?

SOLIPSIST: A class?

STU: No, it's just a group. . . A student group.

SOL: A club?

STU: Yeah! It's an unorganized writing club!

SOL: This school has a club for unorganized writing?  It must be enormous!

STU: What?

SOL: Nothing.

STU: Oh! No, it's an unorganized CLUB.

SOL: I. . . don't know what that is, exactly--although it might explain why you can't find it.

STU: No, it's. . . You know, it's like, the club isn't really being run by the regular club groups.

SOL: You mean 'unofficial'?

STU: Yes! That's it!

SOL: Ah, OK!  You're looking for the unOFFICIAL writing group!

STU: Yes, do you know where it's meeting.

SOL: No, I still have no idea what you're talking about.

STU: Oh.

SOL: Yeah. (Pause)  Well, good talk!
