Jay: But I like fries, and there are worse jobs than cooking. I for instance have “bucked” hay bails (40 to 100 pounds each) stacking them in the top of a metal-roofed barn with scarce ventilation in the hottest part of the afternoon on the hottest days of the summer in WA state. I’ve also shoveled cow manure and layers of old calf manure, washed cow teats at 5:00 AM before school, and picked rocks from a farmer’s field all day. I’d take fry cook over any of those, but they all have to be done—it’s what makes civilized life possible.
Uncle: I can’t read the math paper. I have to wonder whether the teacher got it right. I mean, maybe that was from a public school in DC?

Hmmm… Someone with a “F” average in math might be over-qualified to work at McD’s.
