Frazz by Jef Mallett follows the adventures of an unexpected role model: an elementary-school janitor who's also a Renaissance man. While he's sweeping the hall, he's whistling Beethoven. Or Lyle Lovett. He paints the woodwork in the classrooms; he paints a Da Vinci on the cafeteria wall. He's a trusted authority figure who is every kid's buddy. He took the janitor's job while he was a struggling songwriter, and when he finally sold a hit song, he decided to stay on at school. Frazz appears in 200 newspapers worldwide, including the Los Angeles Times, Seattle Times, Chicago Tribune and Detroit News. "A few years back, I wrote and illustrated a children's book," says Mallett. "When I was traveling around reading it at school assemblies, I noticed that often, the most respected, best-liked grown-up in the building was the janitor. And I thought, 'Hmm, there's a comic strip in that.'" Often praised for its intelligent wit, gentle spirit and effortless diversity, Frazz won a Wilbur Award from the Religion Communicators Council in 2003 and 2005 for excellence in communicating values and ethics.

The penultimate question is actually true.

Why wouldn’t the answer to the penultimate item be “True”? I’m pretty sure my dog knows exactly why he barks at the things he loves to bark at.

Dude. Why couldn’t I ever have a test like this?

If you mix Pasta with Antipasto, do they cancel each other out with an outrushing of energy?

The thing about the “100 words for snow” is a bunch of moose puckey.

I’d like to see a filibuster done in mime!

If you slice them small enough, grapefruits are easily flushed.
This is true of virtually anything organic, even a elephant that died of old age, if you have the time.

You could grate it into tiny shreds. If you have the time, a cheese-grater, a strong arm and the desire to lose the will to live.

A story in psyhc class in college Professor prepared a test. Typical test that last for a very long time. If the student look down at the very bottom of test was a message from the instructor. If you read this message, leave the test a blank, turn in the paper, and leave the classroom you will receive a perfect mark.

I once took a high-school history test which required matching terms in two separate columns. Anyone paying attention could see that the teacher had the letters of the answers spell out the name of her boyfriend.

Had a college psych course named “the Meaning of Aspiration.” The final exam was one question: “What grade do you hope to get?” If you put down an "", you got an “A.” Everybody in the class got the point.

Moose puckey. That’s a new one to me. What does it say about our society that we have so many words to describe fecal material?

The law of diminishing returns would be demonstrated if you took thirty minutes to answer this question.

I think that is the way they do them now since they changed the rules

I’m not sure about the third from last question. The French and Indian War was part of the Seven years War which, in turn began the Third Carnatic War in India. But I’m not sure Bombay was involved.
