And this is where the Professor murders me.

Even so, I think I've selected a good term project for the shop class. We are going to make a cannon - specifically, an 1844 howitzer. We will be taking a short field trip (don't anybody faint) to Fort Hamilton within the next few weeks to take a look at that particular gun there. Then we're going to research, design, and build a replica here.

It'll be fun.

If a field trip involving looking at cannons does not result in any physical or mental harm to anyone taking part in the trip, will more field trips be taken?

Contrary to popular belief, not every field trip or excursion this school has taken results in shenanigans. Washington DC went fine, for example.

Losing one of the chaperones isn't fine.

Well, nothing happened to the students.

That's true.

And with the notable exception of Guy Fawkes up there wanting to build a howitzer, none of our staff are liable to go insane any time soon.

(I swear, when I woke up this morning, I did not expect to have to be the voice of reason to my boss's insanity. Welcome to Bizarro Westchester...)

Hey, you're not the only voice of reason.

From certain perspectives.
