Riley: Mrs. Peterson is out to get me. She gave me a "C-plus" on a test today.
Huey: So?
Riley: So I have a rep to maintain. Grades that good will ruin my street credibility.
That reminds me of a Philipina friend of mine who purposely chose to NOT take all 10 exams after she became an Actuary. She decided to take a little over the 1st 5. She thought it would actually hurt her opportunities to get a better job if she took more than 5 to 7 exams @ the most. Each exam puts you into a higher wage bracket. She was afraid that being a VERY INTELLIGENT WOMAN, being non-White (I’m White & a little Native Am.), etc. would be a disadvantage to her.
HOW PATHETIC!!!!!! This particular comic is too true to life. It’s the same as girls no matter what ethnicity purposely playing dumb in school for similar reasons=wanting to have friends whether female or male. Obviously I realize that boys do the same thing because both characters in this comic are boys. I could be wrong but I think girls do this sort of thing more often.
