He's No Saint

Professor:  Clearly, Rand, you need to be going to Church more.

Performance Enhancers

Bully

Professor:  I'm going to be gone on Wednesday, so we can have a substitute, we can reschedule, or I can just cancel class.

Brandon Anderson:  Which means you'll also take a punch to the throat.

Selfless Service
