come again for me to bide my
time in the hallowed hallway of

a school building instead of.

learning how to laugh at a
teacher's poor joke and
somehow making the teacher
think he knows everything, even
though he or she just finished
making an atrocious mistake
over'some date in history.

reproduction. You cannot learn

these matters unless you have a

trained s¢hool teacher,.
