In the seventh grade, I had to read Stephen Crane's The Red Badge of Courage.
Getting shot while wandering around in clouds of blue and grey smoke is very noble!
Dude? You were high. I'd rather be shot than have to read this shit.
In the tenth grade, I had to read William Golding's Lord of the Flies.
Why do the other kids keep saying "sucks to your asmar, bollocks to your rules"? We need to work together to get off this island!
You remind me of Jeff Probst. Except that he always lives to the rescue.
In college, I wrote term papers for other students, always for classes I didn't take on subjects I knew nothing about. They received high marks. High school proved teachers don't read term papers.
I got a 100% on my social work thesis for Mr. Nygaard! Thanks Mushy!
I got a 95% on the comparison paper between Egypt and Mesopotamia. I owe you, Mushy!
