Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

Here is my example with WFTD.

When asked which of Beethoven’s nine symphonies was the penultimate, Joe Biden said it was a tough choice between the Third, the Fifth, and the Ninth. Paul Ryan just smiled and said, “Clearly, it’s the Eighth.”

To prevent further grade inflation, I have re-scaled the curve. The highest grade will be A+++.

No pushing at the door please!

Not an easy one, because opportunities for its use are fairly rare. Here goes:

Subjugation of the United States is the necessary yet merely penultimate goal of the Marxists, whose apex of ambition is nothing less than complete global domination.

Good morning. You're second to arrive.

A+++ on your homework. It's too bad that 50% of Americans don't understand what the Marxists are after, and that Obama is a Marxist.

Crosby’s pretty good, but Lemieux is the Penultimate.

I guess that makes Crosby the penultimate Pen.

I really like the way you run the room, speaking as the penultimate sub for each week.

The next few months will be penultimate to either the renewal or the destruction of America.

Next to last. The Last thing that decides will be the election itself. Maybe I didn’t express myself well.

I guess I shall run for senator next. :0

Even as an Impoverished Widow Bass Playing FReepin’ Biker, I would probably come in penultimate to aiken.
