Simkins' Laws Of English
These were written in Jim Wilkinson's English class during 1996. Little did I know I'd end up becoming a TC, not an engineer!
I. | English is only a break from life. |
II. | If you have no clue what something means, then it obviously contains symbolism. |
III. | Bring a pillow. |
IV. | Avoid whiplash when called on by sitting up slowly. |
V. | If you don't know an answer, ask a question. |
VI. | Go easy on English teachers. After all, what would they do in the real world? |
VII. | Fucking artistic bastards. 'nuff said. |
