I got a B because I am old and remember some of these things, such as being first in line in Des Moines to see "Gandhi." I'm so old that I was a good friend to Queen Victoria and I made the kite Ben Franklin flew when he discovered electricity. I taught Ben Jonson how to write and I caddied for Ben Hogan. I'm old!
