Well, Tom, I did appreciate the poem. It expressed real
understanding; but, you seem to have lost yours along the
way...somewhere.

And of course the preferred method of instruction is to walk in and
immediately insult your students. You know (obviously)--call them clueless,
stupid, etc. Gains their respect right at the get go.

that's the BEST rejoinder you can manage these days?? Boy,
are you SLIPPING, TW. I expected more originality than
"dumber than snot". You must have already uttered all the
witty comebacks you'll ever manage, kinda like current music
sucks! All the good music has already been written and
performed. Current music is SOOOO boring...like you in 2004.

Without wasting TOO much of your time, can you give me a

losing your grip on the English language again, Tommy?
Review your sentence that starts with "Ducksass" and tell me
what grammatical error you committed. No cheating. Don't
get a fellow miscreant to whisper the answer in your ear...
