This is a joke, right?
7. Ever skip school?
Nope
8. Were you a nerd?
Nope

Not if you paid me Serious Money and made me pretty, too
18. What do you remember most about graduation?
Being corked off because my name wasn't read off with the rest of the names of those who had achieved the honor roll. My grades qualified me, but it was decided that, because I was a business student, I didn't actually qualify.

28. Who was your worst teacher?
One thing about being Older Than Dirt(tm)? You forget lots of useless stuff, like this.
29. Did your life turn out different then you would have expected?
Yes, very much. I hadn't at all expected to live this long, and I've achieved my childhood goal (really) of writing a book.

MASH, Little Big Man, Patton, Kelly's Heroes, Five Easy Pieces, Tora!Tora!Tora!, Catch-22, Beneath the Planet of the Apes, The AristoCats, Love Story (courtesy of IMBD.com)
