What an odd suspicious comment that was.

I agree with you.

Exactly. I don't know of any teacher unions asking for raises right now. They are taking pay cuts and paying more for health and pension benifits. The latter, health and pension benefits, I think they should pay more of a share of.

C'mon.....I was hoping pilgrim would know the next line and play along, anyone, anyone?

You just bought yourself another Saturday.

Dude seriously. Quit using my chit man. :D

Exactly. Chef, you get extra credit points Pilgrim, I got nothin' for you, except an after school detention for being a smart alec.
