Pariah Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Absenteeism is about 10-15% higher than usual today. Must be test day. I had one student (among many) who was absent for the test last period. I saw her in the hallway right after class. Hmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pariah Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 "Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read." -- Marx I'd heard this saying attributed to Mark Twain. (And which Marx, Karl or Groucho?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 The attribution I've seen is Groucho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemming Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 The attribution I've seen is Groucho. I've always seen that attributed to Groucho, but according to this, it may have been Jim Brewer: http://quoteinvestigator.com/2010/09/08/dog/ Though they admit it could still be Groucho.
