In the 70s I took a highschool class called Human Growth. It was meant to teach us about adult life: insurance, mortgages, filing taxes, getting married and buried, birth certificates for eventual children, etc. The teacher used the “quizzes” to ask a lot of rather personal questions that weren’t really part of the material. We were supposed to just answer. One day I got tired of it and wrote, NYBT. She went home and asked her son (in our year but not the class) and found out it meant None of Your Business, Turkey.
Forty years ago I took a class in abstract algebra at one of the state university branches in Wisconsin. Terri, one of the girls in the class, answered a test question with “darned if I know”. The professor’s response….. “too bad!”.
Reminds me of the famous Taxi episode where Jim is at the DMV taking the written driving test. When he gets to the question: “ What does a yellow light mean” and he asked a co-worker the answer and the guy said: “Slow Down.” Hilarity ensued.

A Sally answer would be, “Who Cares?”

Shouldn’t that be, “Why should I tell you, Sir”, Marcie?

Anyone else think of Jim Ignatowski (Christopher Lloyd) and Bobby (Jeff Conaway) during the drivers’ test on Taxi?

This reminds me of the “Who’s on first” joke. So, now, with the dog school arc, “dumb” is Patty’s middle name.

This test must be a Jeopardy test: Each answer/response must be in the form of a question.
