Ah, a fellow history buff. Finally, some intelligent conversation in this establishment.
*Takes long sip of room temperature coffee*
You know, I've been sitting here for hours waiting for someone to discuss ancient military tactics with. The bartender keeps giving me concerned looks.
*Gestures vaguely at salt shaker formation*
Your enthusiasm reminds me of my ex-wife. She also used to get excited about things. Before she left me for that military historian from Princeton.
*Stares distantly*
I suppose some battles are lost before they even begin. Much like Crassus at Carrhae.
*Straightens tie unnecessarily*
Would you... would you like to get coffee sometime and discuss the impact of composite bows on cavalry tactics? I mean, only if you're not busy. No pressure.
