I have to say number 5 is my favorite this week. Not only for the humor, but because of an eerily accurate illustration of a hanging. large-screen TV; especially for ’56. I bet you were impressed by that too, going through that issue.
Number 1 is pretty funny also. I got busted for cheating in 9th grade on an algebra test, Post editors. A lot of good it did me; I flunked it anyway, and had to take it in summer school at Van Nuys High School. But it turned out to be a good thing. I passed it, AND got to re-unite with friends from elementary school who’d also flunked it.
My mother was upset about the cheating and the fact I got an ‘F’ in algebra. I reminded her I got A’s in English, creative writing, Greek & Roman antiquity, B’s in history. and that ‘F’ was now a ‘C’ because of summer school. When I said that ‘F’ was for ‘Fantastic’, she didn’t think it was funny. No. That was met by “Never again young man!” I like to think my natural gifts are well utilized and appreciated at the Post, FAR more than school. That’s what matters to me.
