Good News/Bad News
« on: March 08, 2006, 05:09:24 PM »
Good News: I'm a math teacher again!

Bad News: It's not at your school.


Other Bad News: I won't be around nearly as much starting in about 2 weeks.

Other Good News: I'll have more time in the summer to hang out.

More Good News: Unless I don't get the same job next year (which is a very real posibility), I'll have more money and I'll be on my way to buying a winnebego and coming to visit you.


PS.  Sorry for the cross forum posting.

Yup.  We've had this plan for a while now.

We're supposed to win the lottery to get started, but that hasn't happened yet for some reason.

If you and your Winnebago and your Enrique swing through Phoenix on your to/from Cali, let me know.

Also, grats on the job.

If you go to California, make sure you get Enrique set up with a California Highway Patrol uniform.

That's statistics. Totally different head.

Statistics needs math, but math doesn't need statistics.

Roughin' it in the great outdoors
Guidebooks tell us where to go
Winnebago Warrior

Slow down traffic climbing hills
30 gallons to the mile
Enrique, quick, the polaroid

[Chorus]
Winnebago Warrior
Brave as old John Wayne
Winnebago Warrior
A true yankee pioneer

Stop at Stuckey's for a meal
Blab all day on the BB
Winnebago Warrior

Littered campgrounds, folding chairs
Feed Doritos to the Pbsaurus
Honey, quick, the polaroid

[Chorus]

Kill some fish down by the creek
Hang their picture by the sink
Show Demosthenes who's the boss

Tie your two toat-goats to the front
U-Haul trailer full of souvenirs
That you buy along the way

[Chorus]
