“Hey, Joe. Looks like I got my work cut out for me. That kid is back.” | |
“What kid?” | |
“That crazy kid who swims under water all the time. Hey, kid – you bring yer trunk and handcuffs?” | |
“Surely you’re being facetious, sir.” | |
“Oh, yeah? How come yer back here? I can’t teach you anymore underwater routines. You’ll be wastin’ yer time, kid.” | |
“Well, you don’t really have to teach me anything. My parents just want to make sure I get proper exercise here in Swim and Gym. You see, I don’t get physical education at school anymore.” | |
“Why not?” | |
“Because I don’t go to school anymore. I’m attending Michigan State University.” | |
“Like I said, Joe… with this kid I got my work cut out for me…” | |

“Do you like art, Mike?” | |
“Yes, but not as much as I like science.” | |
“Why?” | |
“Because it isn’t exact – when you are mentally equipped to absorb the exact sciences, you find the unexactness of art less appealing.” | |
