In the words of Abraham Lincoln...

In social studies class we were learning about primary and secondary sources in the library, and our librarian had us organize picture into those two catergories, and he had a picture of th Gettysburg Address as a primary source, so here's how this part of the lesson went:
Mr.B (librarian): Now I know most of you kids can't read Abraham Lincoln's handwriting, which I don't understand, because I for one fin it fairly easy, so I will read it to you. Four square and seven years ago...
So, I'm good at social studies. I have a 99 average. Whch is strange, because I hte the subject, esspecially Civics (and history and geography...) After Mr.B went on with the whole "Four square" thing, me and the smart guy in my class were looking at each other smirking. Mr.M, my socil studies teacher comes in, "Did you just say four square?"

Maybe we can't read it, Mr.B, but at least we know what it says.
