He's nothing special, she's not too smart

This morning, in my office, no one understood today's XKCD properly because no one had read both the relevant books. We sorted it out between us, because n-1 of those present were very familiar with Lord of the Rings, and 1 of those present was very familiar with Charlotte's Web.

I, um, er. I. Yes.

I'll be the 1.

Our Junior School headmaster took the best part of a year to read Charlotte's Web out to us, one lesson per week. We were not allowed to make any noise or ask questions at all. His delivery left a lot to be desired. I think it was all some small child taming experiment.

I was, therefore, very surprised to enjoy the book when I eventually got hold of a copy for myself!

Good grief!

Where did you go to junior school? For some reason I think you went to Aldo, but that seems unlikely from where your mum lives (unless you lived somewhere different then, of course...)

Mowden with Mr. Shaw. He was very odd indeed.
