    Zach’s parents wanted to make sure he was always at the end of the line.

    To lump or not to lump, that should never be a question. Two lumps, on the other hand…

    I love how vague his specific comments are.

    Reminds me of the 1959 Mad Magazine gag entitled “The Day Perry Masonmint Lost a Case.” The batter is shot in Yankee Stadium in front of 69,432 fans. In court, all the fans are called to testify in alphabetical order. They begin with “Anthony A. Aardvark” (though I think Aaron would’ve been funnier) :-D

    Shortly before my graduation, the Dean had lost his larynx to throat cancer. We were all proud of his determination, as he mounted the podium to say a few words in esophageal speech, a form of controlled belching. We remain proud of his effort; but after 45 minutes of belching we all looked like Zach Zelman.

    Though GT didn’t mention trump specifically, I did notice a nod to him when he said he took out the hard to pronounce, foreign names. LOL. We do always see the POTUS taking on the job of commencement speaker each year. Other than that, it is nice to get a whiff of non-trump in the morning. OTOH, I am not suggesting this should be an apolitical strip, as some have suggested. Far from it.

    We have your money, so now it’s time to speak the truth. We’re sending you out into a job market that only values real skills. Those of you that have them will succeed, those of you that don’t will place blame on everyone but yourselves.

    When my son went to kindergarten years ago, I noticed that seven of the 22 kids had first names that started with “A”. In elementary school, they tend to line up the kids alphabetically by first name, so these kids always got the first choice for things. Just once they should do things reverse alphabetically and let the Zacks and Zeldas get to the front of the line. (The Aarons and Abbys deserve to be last at least a few times.)

    My daughter’s school gave everyone a number which was used for all kinds of things, such as books and other supplies, where you put your coat and backpack, etc. They had the line up procedure switched around all the time as to placement in the line. The numbers were used instead of names as a more random way to assign who received what and when they received it. So, number 7 could be at front of the line one week, end another and somewhere in between on another week.

    Of course, the kids were rotated according to number only in terms of lining up. Each child was able to get a week at a time being first in line, since it was important to all the students.
