It’s about the delivery. plenty of second graders would be enthralled with an owner’s manual if it is read with the right inflections, gestures and drama.
It’s just sad that a grown man has to use his old title to address himself as he’s long retired but has not grown past his former glory days nor has anything else to distinguish himself by. For instance, he should just be proud enough of himself and his daughter to refer to himself to the class as their teachers father.

I see that Miss Harris’s dad went to the same cartoon character school as a certain Commander McBragg, (think of the old Underdog cartoons).

No to be particularly picky, but a Colonel’s wive is NOT going to be that fat. They have standards, ya know.

trying to grab their attention in person is hard – online would be worse. He is giving them respect by rehearsing.

Are you kidding? When I was in second grade I would have just been enthralled by the mustache!

I think the cartoonist, and not just Jimbo, have a thing for big women!

If you think that is bad, wait until you get a guest lecturer at a college.
