Dracula a Social Worker?

So last week we had the equivalent of senior seminar. Or as close to the equivalent as you can get in a different country, with just 3 seniors all of whom are from different schools. Ali came along as a guest to this particular one. We were talking with the social workers that work with the agency we work at and they were telling us about the history of social work in Romania because there are absolutely no books in English on this topic. At one point we drifted off topic and one of the seniors asked about Vlad the Impaler-thought to be the legend of Dracula. So the social work staff were telling us about Vlad and how if there had been any crimes he would just shove the criminal through with a large pointed stick. Apparently Ali hadn't been paying very close attention because she looked up at one point and said 'Wait, so he was a social worker?' What a way to get rid of poverty-just shove the people through with a giant stick.
