   But soft, what frivolity and nonsense posing for truth is this? John Shakespeare was reputed to be a tanner, glover and dealer of commodities, his grandfather a farmer. Schools taught reading and writing in English, Latin and Greek, as well as religion and literature. Neither wood shop nor creative writing existed.

   This is what he’s thinking, ‘to drop out or not to drop out’.
   That is the question.

    Actually Willy’s would have never had a guidance counselor since he left school at age 14 due to his father’s financial problems, but this is a cartoon so we’ll go with it, right crunkbot?

    Lady Anne: Will, what’s this fly doing in my soup?”
    WIlliam: I believe it’s the backstroke, m’lady.”

    Cesario: It’s certain oysters are not aphrodisiacal.
    Zeena: Yea. Sir Jonny ate twelve last night and only four worked.”

    Ushindi…
    Yes, everything is true, exactly as it happened. You can read it all in the National Inquirer. You should read the one about how Shakespeare marrys the two-headed women from Jupiter. They divorced because she needed her space. The kids are swallowing quills in the circus in an effort to show that the pen is mightier than the sword. Yes. It’s all very true. Believe it.

    eardroppings: Yes, if I read it in the National Enquirer or on the internet, then I KNOW it must be true.

    Parson1: That is just an excellent comment, one of those “Boy, I wish I had thought of that first” things. I loved it!
