Polishing Weapons

Spent part of the afternoon in my office at work, polishing up my weapons. (The cadets are about to return to campus, you know.)

Anyway, I was in the midst of working on my sword — a beautiful battle-ready replica of the supposed sword of the Black Prince — when it struck me that perhaps, just perhaps, there aren’t many jobs where one is allowed to brandish blades in the office for the sake of instruction.

Thank God I’m a medievalist.

    Yeah, it would such to be an anthropologist; they only get sticks. And archaeologists only get rocks!
