| CANADA'S SOURCE FOR HUMOUR, PARODY, AND SATIRE
JEFFERSON HIGH SCHOOL-- Troy Cintano wasn't doing very well in high school last year, but over the summer he changed his attitude, and returned this year with a new perspective.
"I've got to admit, the kid has a new approach on life," said Mr. Browbury, the physics teacher. "Before, Troy would stumble through his courses, but this year it's like he's skiing down a slope." Troy, 16, had been headed in the wrong direction, but was determined this year not to let things slide. "I'm really looking forward to geometry next semester," admitted Troy. "I think I've got all those triangles figured out: acute, abtruse and obese, depending on the shape of the angles. I know they all add up to 180 degrees, and that kind of describes how I've turned around." Troy was bent out of shape last year, mostly due to the onset of puberty and a few bad chiropractor appointments. "It was a steep grade for me last year," he said. "It was all uphill. I hurt myself on the football field when I crossed over the wrong way, and I was all knotted up inside over Cindy Pickford in Social Studies. I didn't know which way I was going." "This year I'm just sliding through life," he continued. "I'm on the straight path now." Troy attributes his new success from going at it from a different point of view. The way he approached life before was a little askew, but now, he's looking at it with a new position. "It's all how you look at it," he said. "You figure out your slant on life, then follow through on a direct path," Troy added, alluding to his round-about and circuitous approach last year. "I don't think I'm going downhill," said Troy. "It's a question of degree. I think it will be clear sailing from here on in." "I can't wait to get into algebra and conics next year," he added. "That's where we describe curves on a graph. Now that will be something new! Some people aren't as inclined, but it's all how you look at it." Troy declined
any further comment, saying that he had run out of puns.
