Bus CXVII

Jack: Did you see the school's got a new sponsor?

Louisa: I just finished writing an angry editorial about it for the Gazette

Jack: How can you write an editorial when you're not the editor?

Louisa: The question you ought to ask is how can it be appropriate for a school to get sponsored by a company that makes rifles

Jack: To be fair, they don't actually make rifles. Just rifle bullets.

Louisa: Oh, that's okay then!

Jack: If they didn't make the bullets, people would still own rifles. They'd just be hitting each other over the head with them or something.

Louisa: Well, that still sounds better than everyone shooting each other

Jack: Yeah, I guess it does. Didn't really think that one through.

Louisa: If we've gotta have a sponsor, it should at least be something in keeping with the character of the school

Jack: Like what?

Louisa: I dunno. Cheap cider or something.

Jack: Is that really any better than guns?

Louisa: A little bit, yeah. We already have a drinking problem at this school. We don't yet have a shooting problem.

Jack: Except heroin

Louisa: Well yeah, obviously

Jack: This is kind of a crappy school, isn't it
