Possibly abbreviating government?

The best way to be taken seriously is to be reasonable and inoffensive - especially where it's least expected!

How do you know you're not? You want to start a students' rights website, well the oldies are just going to assume you are a neo-Marxist in socialist's clothing. That's got to be worth at least three chemical warheads (filled with sulphur dioxide) and half a teaspoon of smelly plutonium carefully gathered from a cyclotron hidden up a camel's rectum. You are a positive danger to society, and you ought to be locked away. I dunno what the world's coming to, I really don't. What is all this crap about students having rights anyway? They have wrongs, and even those are doled out with care, only to the most deserving cases, preferably to those students who are quadraplegics. Bet you turn up to classes, too. Now there's something that's highly suspicious! - Pfranz Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Page 3 of 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 Moderated by  Jackie  Hop To General Topics ------  Information and announcements  Q&A about words  Wordplay and fun  Words and languages in schools  Miscellany  Weekly Themes  Looking for (writers, speakers,...
