You will forgive me if I do not attend that particular class. Now, I have been a liberal from way back, and yet there are certain circumstances indeed where I become very conservative. To take my clothes off and end up with a woman’s body—there indeed I draw the line! Now as you have known, I have been here this evening, bell and all. If I occasionally take you to task, I am speaking to two members of the class in particular, and if I occasionally take you to task, then ask yourselves who else cares enough to take you to task, and if I do not take you to task, who else will take you to task? When I give A’s they are well earned.
