Hi Giles,

Hi Todd.

Your weaved, and darted, hit a few curbs, ran off in the
ditch a few times, hit a squires or two, but you eventually
it get there. *Yes it does help.

Four martini breakfast? Sounds like fun.

I thought of my (non-college) educations as compulsory
day care and did not care for it too much. *I did home
work three time in four years of public high school and got
an A- average. *Such is the quality of public education.

Actually, that says nothing whatsoever about the quality of education
in any place at any time. In fact, it tells us nothing about anything
other than what we already knew.....that you are a fool and a liar.

Boy did I have a real awakening when I hit college, where I
also got an A- average. *This time it was real. *In engineering
too, not basket weaving.

You should have studied basket weaving.....it's a real education in
practical engineering.

I worked my ass off to make up for
all the goofing off in public high school.

and a lack of native intellect.

The lack of
phonics, which was taught for hundreds of years, because
it worked, before "Hooked on Phonics" hit the scene,
still haunts me to this day.

Whatever the particulars, that it haunts you to this day is hauntingly
obvious.....you need not have mentioned it.

(Ye gads, what a run on sentence.)

Wrong. Not an especially attrative sentence, but not a run on either.

By the way, it sounds like you were no stranger to detention.

I've held both ends of that stick.

Just in case you were wondering, it wasn't me that ratted
you out for throwing the squirrel into the teachers lounge
at lunch. * Really. *Trust me. *Perhaps.

Moron.

Note to the humor impaired: I do not really think Giles
threw a squirrel into the teachers lounge. *Nor do I have
any actual knowledge of Giles ever being sent to detention.
And besides, everyone knows it wasn't a squirrel. *It
was an excessively large chipmunk.

Imbecile.
