@fobvius,
And how did Dirtlebury respond to that? If I'd been Dirtlebury, I'd have shown that bloody teacher that I could be just as smart as Fobvius, if not smarter.
(I'm talking about the American smart - intelligent- not the British well-turned-out smart).
But seriously - which direction did Dirtlebury take that challenge? Do you know how s/he turned out? Was s/he challenged or defeated or didn't give a flip?
