Title: and etc.

Every time my boss uses "etc.", he says "and" first.  I think I learned in third grade that "et cetera" means "and so forth."

Maybe you should give your boss and F in English and make him repeat third grade.

Where would you put the F in English?  I think between the G and the L is the most pronounceable.

Yeah, and if he doesn't pass, then his father's chains of hotels will go to an Ivy League suckup who just wants the money.

When I graduated from first grade, all my dad did was tell me to get a job.

And here you are, about ten years later from the looks of it, working from your bed and using a chamberpot so that you don't even have to get up to go to the bathroom. You've come a long way.
