Huh? How could everyone get it yet he still gets a D-?<BR/><BR/>I think it's the adult Mallard thinking that - the first duck has a black head.<BR/><BR/>If this is in fact busy work, it's not communism in action. It's "I didn't plan for a sub" in action.<BR/><BR/>Every time I finished something early in classes I can <I>remember</I> (and I'm like 20 years younger than Tinz), the teachers were pleased, and I got to read a book.
