Quote:
"I'm lucky, though. I mean I could shoot the old bull to old Spencer and think about those ducks at the same time. It's funny. You don't have to think too hard when you talk to a teacher. All of a sudden, though, he interupted me when I was shooting the bull. He was always interupting people."

First of all how can you lie to a teacher and start to think about ducks? Seriously, what sain person does that, it is totally off topic. You can't lie to a teacher about being good, and how you will try harder, if you wrote a letter telling him it is okay for him to fail you. It is really obvious that you are lying. The teacher is probably interupting all the time because he's tired of the lies that he is hearing, and doesn't want to hear them anymore. Try not to lie to a teacher when it is obvious that you are lying, and don't tell them something just because it is what they want to hear, because usually they can figure out if you're the kind of person who would actually say that and mean it.
