a lit joke

teacher: who was mary shelley married to?
william: frank.

laugh, dammit!

Mary Shelley was married to English poet P.B. Shelley. she was also the author of Frankenstein. it's never funny when you have to explain the joke.

then again, it probably isn't funny anyway. i was the only person in class who cracked up when i heard it. and people were looking at me and thinking "what the shit?".
