Like he's been drinking cough syrup.

Seriously. He's very off and slurring his words. It's bizarre.

3 years of that - I went to junior high in Utah and both the principal and vice-principal were local Mormon bishops. I ran afoul of them on many occasions because of the length of my dresses.

They finally laid off me after a run-in with my mom, who was crazy (but knew my rights and defended them like a mother bear).
