#639 - Chlorine

I was recently listening to the audiobook for Steve Martin’s “Born Standing Up.” It’s a great look into his early life and standup career. One of the most amazing things was when he was talking about how he had a lot of time in high school to work on his magic because his school didn’t give out homework. Wait… no homework? I didn’t even know such a fantasy was possible!

  2. RG

    That is some pretty darn unique homework.

  3. Kurast

    I had band teachers who gave out homework.

    “Learn to play this as loud but as clean and crisp as you can.”

    We’ve been evicted twice.

    I though biff had a pool. Wasn’t it filled with OJ?

    Xp i remember my swimming lessons. Three years of my life training not to doggy paddle or flail like a lout.

  13. Foxhound2

  14. Ichfrei

    Our physics teacher never gives us homework :D
    sadly this hasn’t quite been passed around the rest of the teachers yet…

  16. Garrett Williams

    So Deep Dish Lake is too cold this time of year?

  17. Speakerblast

    My pool is frozen right now :(

    and the comic is funny cuz he has a bathtub

  18. MadDavid

    @Andore Mordre: You can’t swim with nose goggles. There’d be no end to getting water up your nose.

    And I think that Biff’s instructor has the right idea, personally. The less water Biff is involved with, the better.

  19. Lisa

    hey Chris, does the software allow for tags? That would be neat. And does Biff have webbed feet or does he wear flippers?

  20. Foxhound2

    Every single time i look at biff i laugh. And today’s my birthday!

  21. Thoushaltnot69

    If you go to a chicago publix school like me there is no home work!
    I get As and Bs by doing almost nothing

    My PE teacher did something like that once: had us do 10 push-ups and 20 sit-ups at home and have our parents sign a paper saying we did them. I never got a single signature, nor did a single push-up or sit-up at home. =P
