"Shit." she mutters darkly upon reading Professor Jerusalem's message. "I guess I'm not going to be able to weasel my way out of this one."
She selects Word from the Start menu and begins to write...
Why Professor Spider Jerusalem Is A Fucking Bastard: An Essay by GEORGE Lass
Throughout the ages, children and young adults alike have been subjected to the torture of school. The primary reason school is such a torturous experience is that it's populated with bastard teachers. Some teachers are more bastard-like than others. Professor Spider Jerusalem, a teacher at Fandom High in Alexandria, VA, is not only a bastard -- he is a Fucking Bastard.
The first example I give in support of this theory is the fact that he smokes tobacco in class. As in constantly. I know it's hard for some people to comprehend, but there is a vast majority of the student population that doesn't smoke. In fact, some of us are deathly allergic to smoke, yet the good Professor continually subjects his poor, helpless students to clouds of poisonous second-hand fumes. *
Secondly, the Professor gives every appearance of an alcoholic. Upon arriving on my first (and admittedly only) day of class, Mr. Jerusalem was passed out on his desk. Another student had to forcibly wake him. He then very grudgingly began to lecture the class in the most condescending and nasty way possible. It is my suggestion that he is unfit to teach in such a state, and that he's a Fucking Bastard for subjecting the student body to his ill humors and personal problems. He is a horrible example to the student body as a whole.
And now for my last point: The Professor insists upon calling me by my given name, Georgia, when I have repeatedly stated that I much prefer to be addressed as George. Wrinkled old women who wear red-and-purple hats and meet every week for breakfast at the Cracker Barrel are called Georgia. Georgia is a southern state where a good part its population slaps the stars-n-bars on the bumper of their pickup trucks and ignores the fact that the Confederacy did, indeed, fall. I am neither one of these things. My name is George. GEE EEE OHH ARR GEE EEE.
So as you can see, Professor Spider Jerusalem is a Fucking Bastard. He smokes without care of other people's heath; he sets a bad example for the students with his blatant substance abuse; and he is obviously careless of his student's feelings. I hope you have enjoyed my essay, and have found it very informative.
*Professor J -- I have attached some autopsy photographs of people who've abused various forms of tobacco. Thought you might find them interesting.
George allows herself a twisted grin as she clicks on the "Send" button in her Outlook. As she pushes herself upright and makes her way back to the couch, she wonders just how far over the line she's stepped, and how many days of detention she can look forward to.
"Oh, well." she sighs, blowing about a gallon of snot into her fistful of Kleenex. "Detention can't be that bad. Anything's better than class."
