From Not Always Right: When Your Classmates Are Full of Hot Air
I’m in class. One kid loudly burps and farts at the same time. This isn’t a quick “bleh” but a really long, drawn-out brrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaapppp, and an equally long, low frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt. It practically rattles the windows.
The teacher turns and stares at the class.
Teacher: “Who did that?”
We all point at the guilty culprit, who looks very proud of himself.
Teacher: “Look. Normally, I’d send you to the principal for being so disruptive, but… I’ve never had a kid burp and fart that loudly — and simultaneously at that! Go to the nurse so we can figure out what’s wrong with you, and maybe report to the biology department for vivisection after.”
A few months later, I sat with the kid at lunch, and he told me his parents put him on a restrictive diet on the recommendation of the school nurse after that event.
One of my favorite B&C strips: Barn asks Charles “Do you feel that our professional relationship demeans you?” Charles answers “Oh, no Sir – quite the opposite” – and hides a sly grin as Barn says “Oh, good.”

Funny! But easy to solve: “We’re home, ladies.”

Perhaps Cynthia, it’s a classy thing.

“S” not “P” on the rear window pillar? Charles’ last name initial?

Shouldn’t he be calling them “Miss” and Lucretia “Ma’am”?
