[The teacher, wearing the same expression, holds a knife in one hand, and a hamster in the other]

Teacher: Please itemize your deductions while I deal with Mister Hamps, the class pet

[A class of shocked and crying kids look on in horror while trying to simultaneously do their taxes. The cries of the hamster off screen are cut off abruptly]

    in HS I took a class for small business. we learned things like how to use spreadsheets(the paper kind) as well as balancing accounts. we had a whole section based on pricing with supply and demand.

    I think we even covered things like different investment options for money.

    out of all my friends in my youth, I was the only one who knew how to create a budget and balance my accounts.
