Sales of pink boxer shorts to civilians are a statewide sensation that helps pay for Joe's volunteer posse of 3,000, some of whom carry guns.

The last thing you need is an hour to listen while students eagerly call out and give a soliloquy on Michelangelo or Beethoven's Ninth. You have lost all patience by now.
