Dear Max: How can I complain about your allowing me the privilege of a small feeble jest occasionally?

De nada, Dr. Bill, I've just had it in for the sciences ever since my High School principal invited me to skip a grade in physics. When I declined, he refused to act on my German teacher's recommendation that I be allowed to skip a grade in that subject. Why do I have images of marching hammers and mincers filling my imnd as I type this?
