"So who can tell me about Calvinism?

*silence*

“Robert, how about you?’

“Isn’t that the religion about the flower?”

*silence on my part*

“Like, a rose or a carnation or something?”

“You mean, T.U.L.I.P.?"

“Yeah.  That’s it.  Some people got flowers, some people went to hell.” There is no irony in his voice.

The professor, who is observing at the back of the class, stands.  “Okay, class.  Adrienne the teaching assistant will be doing the bulk of the teaching for the remainder of the semester.” He shakes his head and walks out.

Robert pipes up again, “The Calvinists came over with Christopher Columbus, right?”

I am thinking of adopting limited atonement as a grading policy.
