[Discussing prisoners of war in the American Revolution.]
Teacher: Did you know that George Washington was drawn and quartered?[Class is silent for a minute, then slowly begins to chuckle.]
Girl 1: What?! He was?!
Teacher [laughing]: Yes...
Girl 1: That's terrible... What do you mean?
Girl 2: You get it... he was drawn and put on a quarter. He's on the quarter, you know?
Girl 1: He is?
Girl 3: How sad...
