Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

Class is now in session. The rules are simple, you get a grade if you use the WFTD in a sentence, haiku, limerick, or quatrain. You get a "+" if you make a link, or make the teacher laugh, or you offer the appropriate bribes. I hold the grade book, and the whip and chair.

Shades of Tolerance
It is not a gracile lie,
But one large tall tale!

i'm responding to you from yesterday's thread:

you can always travel Amtrak:-) Pre-9/11 I was in prop driven planes twice. once drunk at an air show. very drunk, the other on a mis-scheduled flight to Myrtle Beach - I was supposed to fly jets all the way and they messed up and put me in a puddle hopper. the weather wasn't ideal, and we flew sideways more than forward. nasty trip.

I usually fly the lear now, and hardly ever go commercial. for short hops i use the chopper. often I use frank and the limo.

i HATE flying. it's just something that i have to do every now and again.

I can't wait for scotty to invent the transporter.

Andy is being catty over the oh so gracillent Ann. sounds to me like he copycatted David Horowitz' criticisms of ann.
