School and Punctuation

In English class last week I argued with my teacher (well, maybe not ARGUED --- it was peaceful and rational and calm). The argument was about a story I had written for an assignment in which we wrote stories. She said it needed a comma in a certain sentence that would otherwise be confusing, while I said it did not and the comma would make the sentence confusing. The debate lasted fifteen or twenty minutes, but that isn't the funny part. The funny part is the fact that we never did come to any sort of agreement.
