TP and Nabakov doing SF that isn't

> "Teach anything and you will discover that most people take the class

Why would "most" (and how many is most?) agents take this approach? I didn't and I know others that didn't. And I have spent time on both sides of the desk or podium.

Yup. There are, of course, other things that get students into the
classes they take. One is the schedules students have to juggle. Like,
who wants to drag-ass into a Joyce class at 8AM? And, like who wants
to take any class on a Friday? And, like, I need a credit in the
Humanities, and Joyce fits my schedule.

And, Joyce is name students have heard. And, don't he look all-cool in
that straw hat with that wiked eye-patch on.

Joyce was Irish. That about the fucking best reason and only fucking
reason to take a course in him.

Yes, most is not worse than all or every single one, but is a fairly
poor choice if you hope to avoid being challanged.

The long post was great. Enjoyed it. Thanks. Go SPAIN!
