Television Teachers Teach More Good

Mr. Noblet: Can anyone tell me the tragic irony of the Trojan War?
Tina: Um, that horses are friendly creatures yet a hollow, wooden one was used to destroy Troy?
Mr. Noblet: Wrong and no.
Chip: That the mighty warrior Achilles was killed by a small cut to his ankle.

Mr. Noblet: Chip is wronger. OK, here it is. The tragic irony of the Trojan War is that although it was fought over Helen, who was young and beautiful, by the time they rescued her ten years later, she was really old and very ugly.
Tina: But wasn't recovering the king's wife reward enough?
Mr. Noblet: Tina, an ugly woman is never a reward.
