so I took a criminology class. This was back in the 60's, half the class was long hairs and the other half was whiskey people. When they discussed Vietnam, I stayed neutral.

Coming out of the mid-term test a whiskey person said to me, boy that was tough, I agreed, but it was a piece of cake.

I didn't go to all the classes and still got an A, just 2 tests. Don't know how they can make it much easier.
