What a world we live in

Taking notes in class today, I realized that my pencil was dull. I reached into my backpack, took out a small pencil sharpener, and proceeded to twist the pencil clockwise in the sharpener, collecting the shavings on a piece of paper. The classmate sitting next to me glanced over, then did a double-take. "Wow!" he exclaimed. "I haven't seen anyone do that in a while! It's like lighting a fire by rubbing two sticks!"
