My teachers are gone but their lessons remain

In the old days there were more murders because more people played board games. Board games are intense because you sit eye to eye with your opponent around a small table and violence can erupt at any time if there is any funny business. One time in a museum I saw an old game board that had slashes from where people hacked at it with knives and swords after they lost. Video games are safe because people sit in a dark room staring at a screen and you would have to drive a long long way to break into your opponent’s house and give them the works. If someone is cheating in a board game though I think it would be justifiable homicide to kill them because there is no good excuse for cheating. Now I would never bust somebody’s chops over a board game but I would keep my eyes open all the same.
