The One With the Football

[willnotwait]

Apparently not knowing about football is all it takes to make me an excellent tutor.

Or else.

I'm not sure I understand.

[willnotwait]

What's confusing you? I'll do my best to fix it I assure you.

[pennywaits]

Everything. including the conversation above

[willnotwait]

The men at school were discussing the Steelers game. When I expressed confusion at what they were talking about I ended up giving an impromptu lesson.

[pennywaits]

A lesson on what?

[willnotwait]

Math Formulas.

[pennywaits]

You always did have a head for numbers, much like your father.

[willnotwait]

Like my Father. It's easy once you get the hang of it.

[pennywaits]

Yes, like your father. I've never been very good at it myself. Your father could process numbers in his head as if he were one of those modern calculators.

Apollo had some interesting things to say about him. It's soothing. There are rules for each occasion.

[pennywaits]

He..did? As they say today, it's all Greek to me. Rather an odd saying, isn't it?

[willnotwait]

Very odd, but in such an American way I can hardly fault them for it.

[pennywaits]

I suppose you are right.

What exactly were you implying with the or else part of this?

[willnotwait]

Just the usual violence among men. No reason for concern.

[pennywaits]

To me, there is nothing usual about violence among men. It is always a cause for concern.

[willnotwait]

Not in this case.
