Many people think that history is a dull subject. Dull? Is it "dull" that Jesse James once got bitten on the forehead by an ant, and at first it didn't seem like anything, but then the bite got worse and worse, so he went to a doctor in town, and the secretary told him to wait, so he sat down and waited, and waited, and waited, and waited, and then finally he got to see the doctor, and the doctor put some salve on it? You call that dull? shocked

History's not dull at all! It's like a good story, except it's...uh...real. Wait a minute....

I think I read the Jesse James story in a book that had the look & feel of rough, hand-tooled leather.

see, but you forgot to mention that the secretary was busy filling out forms for other patients, which involved writing down their name, their height, their weight, their attire, their disposition, their complextion, their phrenological profile, their eye color, their hair color, the length of their fingernails, the color of their skin, their armaments at the time, their horse color and the horse's health, and the time of day.

I mean, the more you get into it, the more exciting the story is.
