I went to Catholic schools, ties were mandatory, then when I went to work a tie was also mandatory, I can tie a Windsor Knot in my sleep. I retired in 2017 and haven’t worn a tie since and I have about 2 dozen ties on the tie rack. There is a wedding on my calendar in January 2026, maybe I’ll wear a tie.
The nuns were worried about my lack of participation in class. They gave me an IQ test and stopped worrying. The rest of my school years were constant carping about not using my potential. If there were AP classes back in the 50s and 60s, I never heard about them.
A lot of people guessed that this might be a case of Herman being too smart for his class. (Now we’ll have to see how Fillmore reacts to this bit of news.)

CPS may have to place him in a more suitable home.

Now if it was an old fishing net, Megan couldn’t say THAT.

Good grief!! Sherman feels mistreated because he put on a tie. His aptitude for feeling sorry for himself defies any logic. ;-D

Looks like it was pretty easy to put on, no-neck guy.

The way the teacher arranged the meeting, she made it sound like that Herman was in trouble, but nope!

And, once again, you tied your tie incorrectly, Sherman. Good knot, though….

Don’t know why men don’t revolt & refuse to wear them.

I completely sympathize with Sherman. Sheesh…

I thought sharks only joined schools when they were hungry.

Good luck to those more fortunate than me.
