#639 – Chlorine

I was recently listening to the audiobook for Steve Martin’s “Born Standing Up.” It’s a great look into his early life and standup career. One of the most amazing things was when he was talking about how he had a lot of time in high school to work on his magic because his school didn’t give out homework. Wait… no homework? I didn’t even know such a fantasy was possible!

    That is some pretty darn unique homework.

    I had band teachers who gave out homework.

    “Learn to play this as loud but as clean and crisp as you can.”

    We’ve been evicted twice.

    I though biff had a pool. Wasn’t it filled with OJ?

    Xp i remember my swimming lessons. Three years of my life training not to doggy paddle or flail like a lout.

  13. Ichfrei says:

  14. Vicky says:

    Our physics teacher never gives us homework 😀
    sadly this hasn’t quite been passed around the rest of the teachers yet…

  15. Speakerblast says:

    My pool is frozen right now 🙁

    and the comic is funny cuz he has a bathtub

  16. MadDavid says:

    @Andore Mordre: You can’t swim with nose goggles. There’d be no end to getting water up your nose.

    And I think that Biff’s instructor has the right idea, personally. The less water Biff is involved with, the better.

  17. Lisa says:

    hey Chris, does the software allow for tags? That would be neat. And does Biff have webbed feet or does he wear flippers?

  18. Foxhound2 says:

    Every single time i look at biff i laugh. And today’s my birthday!

    If you go to a chicago publix school like me there is no home work!
    I get As and Bs by doing almost nothing

    My PE teacher did something like that once: had us do 10 push-ups and 20 sit-ups at home and have our parents sign a paper saying we did them. I never got a single signature, nor did a single push-up or sit-up at home. =P

    I tend to get very little in the amounts of homework at my HS. I guess you just had bad luck.
