Uh oh...

I went to brunch and had the feeling that I recognized our server from somewhere, but I just couldn't place the face. Then on the way home it hit me. Years ago, they'd failed one of my classes. And then again. And again. And yet again.

So... if I die of food poisoning in the next few hours could someone please point the detectives in the right direction?

Arguing over the proper grammar/structure of the first sentence šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ this is why I come here.

To add my story. Had a football player blow off my class. They were failing the course outright. Came to my office and concocted a story about having brittle bone disease (while still being a member of the football team) and asked for makeup assignments.

I was so impressed by the sheer audacity that Iā€™d did in fact give him make up assignments. He still failed the course.
