- Quotes
Dr. Edward Wilhunt: For those of you whose averages might drop considerably, I wouldn't worry about it too much. Mr. Bailey, I hear Vietnam is quite pleasant this time of year.
Harry Bailey: No, not really Dr. Wilhunt. You see, it's the rainy season. And during the rainy season, we used to get these fantastic mudslides that would wash up all these shallow graves. So if you really want to enjoy yourself, I would go in the late summertime.
Dr. Edward Wilhunt: [clearly annoyed by some laughter from the class] I'll see you in my office at eleven o'clock. See if you can make it promptly at eleven.
