I was sent these by email and asked to post them.

Dr. Schenck, I have been keeping close tabs on your more memorable quotes in Romans and Galatians class. Others have been pressing me to send them to you so that they will be posted. Here they are:

"Roses are red
Violets are blue
I like roses,
and violets are...well I don't like 'em."

"The ABA is like putting brown swagger around the pill you want your dog to take."

"This verse is confusing to me....but so is laundry."

"The Jews own the movie theaters..." (under the heading of conspiracies Schenck doesn't buy)
