School Story:
My favorite story regards a short lived class called "note-hand". The teacher named Ms. Legge was calling out attendance. She calls, "Dan Isaacson?"--I say, "that's me, but everyone calls me Skip"...which was complete bullshit but for some reason, I thought it was hilarious. For the next several weeks-she called me Skip-and everyone laughed. She caught on eventually, which may be part of the reason I didn't pass that class...that and my poor attendance record.
