Believe it or not my calculus professor said this in class today.
Student: "Do you have any plans for Valentines Day?"
Professor: "No, I hate Valentines day. Mothers have Mother's Day. Fathers have Father's Day. Couples of course have Valentines Day. There is even a Grandparents Day and Secretaries Day. Do you know what we single people have? Palm Sunday."
All jokes aside he actually said this.
LOL Dr. Faucette!!! :)

I'm hooked. This is precisely what your junkyard is for. Go back and look at Mary Robison's intro to "I Am 21," and see if you can copy some of her moves in there. Who is this character? And I'll give you a hint: it's not you, precisely, and it's not your math teacher, precisely. Build the character that says this.
