Pffft.

You don’t *have* a metro gene.

Somewhat related;

A friend’s daughter was in a spelling bee and the teacher asked her to spell “biped”..but pronounced it as one syllable.

The daughter asked her to use it in a sentence and the teacher said “Humans are bipeds”.

"You don’t *have* a metro gene."

This is, in fact, a fact.

But sometimes I like to keep 'em guessing.

A few days back, when we had dinner in Greektown, the nice lady who run the joint came over and asked what our favorite thing about the restaurant was.

I said "The best thing is that you don't have a bunch of fruitcakes here."

Very seriously she replied "No, fruitcake is not Greek food."

OMG, no one can tell me they aren’t trying to dumb-down our children. And the surest way you can accomplish that is by hiring dumb teachers.
