    In 12th grade we read Hamlet out loud as a class. The guy who got picked to be Hamlet didn’t understand that it was supposed to be read as a play.

    So he read every line

    Like this, because that’s how it

    Was printed in the book.

    It was awful. So when the teacher said we were doing the same thing with Macbeth I immediately volunteered to be Macbeth because I couldn’t handle anyone else doing it.

      Holup. Hamlet is the type of town, right? Not a guy’s name?

      Also yeah that’s hilarious!
