Super User .ghoti. Posted May 5, 2014 Super User Posted May 5, 2014 This year's graduating class just presented me with a bottle of Macallan 21. I could barely thank them. Sometimes this teaching business is it's own reward. 2 Quote
Super User jbsoonerfan Posted May 5, 2014 Super User Posted May 5, 2014 My very first year teaching, I was teaching 5th grade. It was the last day before Christmas break and this little girls brings me a wrapped present and says "My Mom said to wait till you get home to open it." I thought, okay. I got home and it was a half gallon of Crown Royal. I wasn't even sure if some sort of law had been broke, lol. 2 Quote

Maico1 Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 Nothing like a fine Single Malt, enjoy the fruits of your efforts and appreciate your thoughtful class. Quote

Super User Redlinerobert Posted May 6, 2014 Super User Posted May 6, 2014 Nothing compares to receiving a gift of gratitude. On a side note, back in 2002-2005 I was teaching RE Finance at the local community college. After the final I'd take the entire class out for pizza and beer. If I did that now I'd probably end up in jail. Quote

Sir, what is Macallan 21?? Mike After a small glass, I'd have to say the finest single malt scotch I've ever tasted. I always have a bottle of Macallan 12 on hand. I consider it the standard by which all other single malts are judged. The 21 is simply above and beyond. Quote
Super User Raul Posted May 7, 2014 Super User Posted May 7, 2014 I hope you ain´t gonna let it reach 22. Quote
