🤣 Hilarious! “It’s your turn Anvil!” Reminds me of the first time I took thermo. I got a 9 on the final. Yes, single digits. I knew I was going to repeat the class, but I still tried to take the exam. I was so pissed because I was actually considering doing it in crayon but decided not to. Failing that class was the best thing I ever did. I retook thermo with Dr. Rae and actually learned the material and got an A. ---
