Having a F.I.T. in Federal Income Tax
I would kill to have my Tax professor write this clearly on the board in class. Instead, I'm quite sure that he gets more than an acute sense of satisfaction from the puzzled and frustrated looks on our faces while he writes in the far, lower corners of the board in a classroom with about 100 seats in it. If I was to ever write a fictional book about a wonderful school, where children gifted in the realm of confusion and frustration attend, striving to one day to be as frustrated and confused as they can possiby be, I would make my Tax professor a character in the book and name him Dumbledore. I swear, this guy goes back to his office after class and laughs at us with the other professors about how small and faint he wrote today. "Tomorrow I'm gonna write everything in gray chalk!" In the end of our class last week, he actually said "For next week, I'd like everyone to read from page two-forty-(inaudible mumbling) to page 3-(even less audible mumbling), and do problems (completely inaudible mumbling) and problems (this time he didn't even mumble, but just silently mouthed the assignment with his back to us)" And while he wrote the assignment on the board, he actually stood right in front of it, blocking it from everyone's view! At one point I swear, he even glared over his shoulder at us just to make sure that we couldn't read it!!! His writings would be easier to read, from the back row of the class, if he had two little dials under the blackboard, like an Etch-a-Sketch, that allowed him to write. I feel like I know less about tax, just for having sat thru his class. When the semester started I had no clue about tax law - now I would need two clues, just to have no clue. Obviously there's only one thing to do, if I intend to survive this class - Family Guy DVD Box Set. Freakin' sweet.
