âI tell you my wife was never nice. On our first date, I asked her if I could give her a goodnight kiss on the cheek â she bent over!â
Rodney Dangerfield
As I was writing this weekâs column, I thought of my sixth-grade teacher at Middle Road Elementary School, Ray Hall, who had a major influence on me. We had a vocabulary test each week and his words were far from sixth-grade level. He told students, âDonât expectorate when you osculateâ and asked us to find out what that sentence meant. I will leave it to readers to do their own research as we had to then. We did not have the Internet!
