Unnecessary Roughness

Here lies Emmett Kermit Lavender
Whose time was summarily cut short
When he insulted his English professor
With an unnecessarily caustic retort

Mike Gentile Date: 4/27/2022 4:39:00 AM Though we were not murdered in school, we were pulled by the short hairs of the our sideburns for anything less than respect! ( Never happened to me!) Good one Milt!! Happy Wednesday!!! Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 4/27/2022 8:20:00 AM Seems a general lack of respect for teachers these days, from what I'm hearing. Sadly so. Thanks. Happy Wednesday to you, too.
