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.

Plus, his teacher could be really hot.

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.
