It’s been a long time since I tried to spread the laughter here on The Master’s Table. Have a Coke and smile!

“History repeats itself” is actually a terrible misquote. It leads students to ask questions like “If history repeats itself, why do I have to learn it the first time?” No, the actually quote is “Those who do not learn history (the past) are condemned to repeat it.” Google George Santayana.
