Dear Parents,

[astasia]

You're not majoring in history education, though? At least where I'm from, getting a bachelor's degree in a subject that doesn't have an accredited teacher preparation program makes it much harder to get licensed. Just something to think about. Good luck.

Yeah, I thought about it. I decided that I might not want to teach forever and would like to broaden my choices.

...By majoring in history?

Sorry. It's hard to resist. And, you're, of course, allowed to make fun of your own field.

[Oldrac the Chitinous]

Sorry. It's hard to resist. And, you're, of course, allowed to make fun of your own field.

You're also allowed to make fun of history majors.
It's in the rules! Look it up if you don't believe me.

You're not allowed to make fun of engineers though. We have immunity.

I removed the preamble and a few of the Rules leading up to this section.

Chapter Seven
...
On rare occasion a Man may find himself in the presence of Free Negros who do not take kindly to innocent jests regarding their humourously large lips and endearingly primitive behaviour, and therefore must have ready several quips should the topic at hand turn to humourous Arts. If this is the case, several 'safe' topics include the Indian and his backwards view of material ownership, the Chinese and his mathematical abilities (although one must be careful to not offend any Engineers present; they are vital to Society's technological maintenence), and the Historian for his choice of study.
...

Boy howdy, that was racist.

Untrue.

Engineers should be made fun of routinely, lest they forget their Junior High experiences.

Well...at least they were trying?

Middle school is the worst place ever.

[mountainmage]

For 7th grade, I'd agree. I liked 6th and 8th grade, however.

I go to it every day. I teach seventh graders. 100 of them.

[Edminster]

To be fair, you also didn't enjoy First, Third, Fifth, Ninth, and Eleventh grade. Really, I just think you hate odd numbers.

[mountainmage]

That's why I had sex with yer mum four times.

[LordRetard]

I was made fun of constantly until high school, when my violent temper and abnormal growth spurt made everyone fear and respect me, and they could only make fun of me behind my back. It was really, really cool.

[ruotwocone]

was i the only person here who was actually cool growing up?

[Lethal Interjection]

I wouldn't define myself as cool, but I was never picked on and had a large group of friends.
It helped that our class wasn't as cliqued as most I've seen.
But then again I never fit anything approaching a high school cliche, either.

Some people think it 'cool' that I went to what was essentially a Reform School, but I don't think it was.
