Transcript:
Marcie sits at her desk watching Peppermint Patty look at a sheet of paper. She says,"Go ahead, sir..it can't hurt to ask..."<BR><BR> Peppermint Patty walks up to the front of the class holding the paper in front of her. She says,"Ma'am, about the 'D Minus' on my report card..."<BR><BR> She continues,"'D' is certainly a wonderful letter...it's probably one of the most important letters in our alphabet...by itself, it has dignity..."<BR><BR> She continues,"When you put a 'Minus' in front of it, however, it loses that dignity...it appears dreamed..."<BR><BR> She shakes her hand and exclaims,"Put a 'plus' in front of that 'D', Ma'am, and it changes completely! You've placed a sword in its hand that gives it power and strenght!!!"<BR><BR> She turns to her left and says,"I see...no, that's all right...I understand...."<BR><BR> She sits back at her desk and says to Marcie,"She said she couldn't change my grade..."<BR><BR> She looks at her report card and concludes,"But she said if she's ever on trail, for her life, she'd want me for her attorney..."<BR><BR>
Only problem with the argument is that the minus is after the D, not in front of it. That’s why it’s called a “D-minus” and not a “minus-D”
