Hey! You left out the part about being barefoot in the 30 below weather, carrying a 40 pound 3 ring binder....

I remember when I was in school I had to walk up hill, both ways, in 2 feet of snow at 30 below, barefoot with no coat, against the wind to the library,lugging a 40 pound three ring binder. Then I had to deal with that stupid dewey decimal system to find information. The worst thing was that microfish machine.

Howzat?

"The worst thing was that microfish machine."

Wow! They had a microfish machine in your school? We had to use tiny little fishing poles and really little hooks to get the microfish at my school. It was really a pain, but then I learned that mealworms worked pretty well as bait. I got straight "A"s after that. No problems with the microfish machine.

Oh yeah? Try mowing the yard with a push mower with a broken blade on a 60 degree slope, blindfolded, and in three feet of snow.
