(C) 2012 D. S. DURFEESQCOMIC.COM DR. INGENIO, I HAVE TO LEAVE EARLY. JOAN'S FATHER INVITED US OVER TO EAT BAGELS. JAKE, THAT'S A LAME EXCUSE, AND I'LL GIVE YOU CREDIT FOR TRYING. BUT IT'S NOT NEARLY AS LAME AS THE TIME THAT ADAM CLAIMED HE WAS PREGNANT. OR THAT TIME DR. INGENIO SAID THAT HE HADN'T REVIEWED A PAPER BECAUSE HIS DOG ATE IT! IF YOU DON'T LEARN TO MAKE LAMER EXCUSES, PEOPLE WILL THINK YOU'RE OLD FASHIONED, THAT YOU WANT TO WORK. YOU'LL GET LABELED AS A "TEACHER'S PET" OR A "NARK." ADAM, CAN YOU TEACH ME HOW TO MAKE LAME EXCUSES? I CAN'T. I, UH, SWORE AN OATH NOT TO WHEN I BECAME A JUNIOR SPACE EXPLORER. WANT Strange Quark (c) 2012 Dallin S.
