Him: Hi. Can I borrow one of your chairs?
Me: Um. Why?

Me: OK. You can have it on one condition. Raise your right hand.
Him: Uh. OK. (raises hand)
Me: Repeat after me. I solemnly swear ...
Him: I solemnly swear
Me: on the soul of my firstborn child ...
Him: on the soul of my firstborn child
Me: that I will return this chair ...
Him: that I will return this chair
Me: at the end of my class period.
Him: at the end of my class period.
Me: Carry on, then.
Him: Thanks.
