It's probably not a good idea to burst out laughing like that at work.

Junior: I have to take another history class.
Me: Take Sanford if you can. Gibson if you can't get Sanford. You know, a Penn Valley history teacher died over break.
Junior: Really? Who?
Me: Mack.
Junior: You're kidding.
Me: Nope.
Junior: I withdrew from his class! They said I had to take the same professor again or I'd get an F. He's dead?
Me: Yep.
Junior: I can't have an F on my transcript! I mean, God rest his soul and everything, but I'm going to talk to Records about this right now.
