Why do people always end anecdotes like this with some kind of closure or finality? Was the "I dropped that class" really necessary, and did it add anything to the story? I doubt it was even true.
Why do people who have no knowledge of the subject and/or poster end their ridiculous rebuttals with statements of opinions with which they have no verification?
You must have had cornflakes for breakfast.
