Overheard in the coffee shop during Katy ISD finals week

Nothing like sitting next to a couple of high school girls boning up for their world history final...you get to hear snippets of conversation such as:

"What's with the Shah of Iran?"

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know, the study guide just says, 'Shah of Iran.'"

"Um..."

Or -- and this is certainly something you wouldn't expect to hear from the boys' study table:

"Chiang Kai-shek was a hottie."
