After the first day, little <BR/>>Zachary came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn't <BR/>>even kiss his mother Hello. Instead, he went straight to his room <BR/>>and started studying. Books and papers were spread out all over the <BR/>>room and little Zachary was hard at work. His mother was amazed. <BR/>>She called him down to dinner.<BR/>><BR/>>To her shock, the minute he was done, he marched back to his room <BR/>>without a word, and in no time, he was back hitting the books as <BR/>>hard as before. This went on for some time, day after day, while the <BR/>>mother<BR/>>tried to understand what made all the difference. Finally, little <BR/>>Zachary brought home his report card. He quietly laid it on the <BR/>>table, went up to his room and hit the books. With great <BR/>>trepidation, his Mom looked at it and to her great surprise, little <BR/>>Zachary got an "A" in math. She could no longer hold her <BR/>curiosity. <BR/>>She went to his room and said, "Son, what was it? Was it the <BR/>nuns?" <BR/>>Little Zachary looked at her and shook his head, no. "Well, then," <BR/><BR/>>she replied, Was it the books, the discipline, the structure, the <BR/>>uniforms? "WHAT WAS IT ALREADY?"<BR/>><BR/>>Little Zachary looked at her and said, "Well, on the first day of <BR/>>school when I saw that guy nailed to the plus sign, I knew they <BR/>>weren't fooling around."</B>Frank Partisanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03536211653082893030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11704331.post-1151762257808529652006-07-01T08:57:00.000-05:002006-07-01T08:57:00.000-05:00Renegade Eye: Thanks for visiting Get Rich Quick! ...Renegade Eye:<BR/> <BR/>Thanks for visiting Get Rich Quick!<BR/> <BR/>I have heard your plea for help and have come to your aid.<BR/><BR/>I have put together a plan for you to become a sellout socialist, as you requested.
