The College Shirt
Yesterday, teachers were told to wear college shirts from their respective alma maters to support Gen Tx Day & ACES at our school. During lunch, a colleague asked if I had any of my shirts from “that college in Canada you went to.” I said no, and explained that they no longer fit me. My colleague then said, “I bet if you tweeted out that you needed a T-shirt, your students would make you one.”
Challenge accepted.
Here’s the tweet:
Sure enough, two of my juniors, who admittedly should have been studying for their IB Economics paper the following morning, texted me:
And here’s the shirt:
It’s not an official UW shirt. It doesn’t have any of UW’s colors – red, black, and gold. It’s not even blue and khaki!!
But it IS the best college shirt I have ever owned!
Challenge complete. Thank you Michelle and Anita!!
Rational Expressions – The Chinese Remainder Theorem
If anyone actually checks for my comic every Monday, then I apologize for not providing one last week. My family was moving and had no internet.
As for this week’s, after finishing, I got the feeling that someone already made this joke. If so, I apologize. If not, why not? I mean, it’s right there!
Actually, I think I heard that line (without referencing the Chinese Remainder Theorem) on an episode of “Monk” or “Psych” or some other detective program.

Apparently, not many people got the joke of last week’s comic, so we’ll take another stab at it. 🙂
Top 5% Banquet
I have the honor of being invited to the Top 5% Banquet by one of my most beloved students. Part of the banquet is having your picture taken together in a creative way. Since we are both fans of the TV show “Psych” we went with that…along with the concept of blue shirts and khaki pants.
Here’s a comparison of the psych promo and our photo:

Okay, I really got “creative” on this one. My apologies in advance.
