[Shotimes] OT SOTU drinking

[Ron Nottingham]

Hey, us hillbillies and rednecks still say warsh!  I'm from Detroit, so I'm
really not a redneck or hillbilly, but I play one on the Internet :-)

I had an 8th grade history teacher (the old bat), she always pronounced
"pizza" (peatsa) as "pisa" (as in the Leaning Tower of), and would always
"correct" everyone when they pronounced it correctly.  I flipped through my
dictionary (grand ol' Webster), and found "pizza", and showed her the
correct pronounciation, which she immediately declared as being wrong.  I
must have really p!$$ed her off, because she flunked me all 3 quarters (why
did they call them quarters, when there were only 3 sessions of 12 weeks
each?).  Pissed my parents off too, but they seen the 1st quarter that she
was being unfair to me (marking an entire answer wrong because she didn't
like the way I wrote my cursive "F", LOL she didn't like my "F" so she gave
me an "F" :-), when I showed them my tests, and looked the answers up in
either my history book, or the encyclopedia.  My Dad told me that as long as
she was going to flunk me anyway, might as well make her life hell :-)  I
love my dear ol' Dad :-)
