    It would help if Pig read the assignment.

    I’m thinking that if Rat took that class, he’d mistake Cervantes for cerveza.

    Alexander Pushkin, poet and author, unsuccessful duelist. That should get you a pass, Pig.

    That’s a very open-ended question.

    That question would also be tough for the smart kid — he could write pages and pages.

    It would help if Pig learned to speak properly. Then he’d be able to hear the difference between “Pushk I n” and “pushk E n”.

    What Vladmir Putin dared Trump during their first meeting. Putin took off his shirt and said: push skin

    Don’t worry, Pig. Before the next quiz on a Russian author, just “Gogol” him.

    Pushkin. Wasn’t that one of Beatrix Potter’s characters?

    My brothers were blocking my path again, so I had to push kin out of the way.

    Pig probably thought it was supposed to be a fast class. You know, Rushin’ Lit.

    He should get some points for that response. Not easy to think those things up. Just ask Stephan.

    I would’ve flunked that class, too. I thought it said ‘Push Pin’, lol.

    Wrong spelling of “kin” (he used “Ken”). Now if it would’ve read: “Barbie hated her family so she decided to push kin off of a cliff” it would’ve worked better.

    Russian Lit?!?!? Oh please, Classical Lit was bad enough, but at least that class had fun monsters in it. Besides, one can get a job in retail (Starbucks, McD, Taco Bell, etc) without wasting money and loans on a useless LAS degree that would include that class and yield a degree that will earn no money.

    I kinda know how “Pig” feels…On my first day of Algebra class the teacher told us “Let X equal the unknown” !“X” succeeded and remained unknown ( to me ) that entire semester.

    Pig rhymes pen and pin, ken and kin. Just like I do… unlike all my ken KIN, I meant kin who always give me considerable static.

    Do not confuse Pushkin with Foreskin. Fo-res-kin – accent on the “res” , that is !
