In a Western Civ. class
Woman: "So what time period are you up to?"
Student: "We're on World War I, I don't know if we'll make it up to now by the end of the semester, we still have five chapters to go."
Woman: "Well, this should help you understand the context of NATO and the president's visit to Europe."
Student: "And it'll help with Jeopardy!"
