After-math

INT. GEOMETRY CLASS - 2052 A.D.

As MR. MYERS, 31 unshaven and bespectacled, scribbles with a stylus across his iChalkboard, the words are automatically replaced with the appropriate, government-approved font.

MR. MYERS

The commutative property of multiplication states that regardless of their values, x times y is equal to y times x.

The students observe complacently from their hoverdesks.

MR. MYERS

(cont'd)

Everyone following so far?

The class laughs suddenly.

Mr. Myers looks back to the wall to see that the "=(" part of the equation has morphed into a sad face.

MR. MYERS

(cont'd)

Does anybody know how to turn off emoticons on this thing?

Nobody offers assistance.

MR. MYERS

(cont'd)

Fine, whatever, moving on... the transitive property tells us that if x is less than y, and y is less than three...

The "<3" rotates into a glowing red heart on the board.

MR. MYERS

(under his breath)

God dammit.
