That would have been me. After taking the ASVAB in high school, the Navy recruiter was calling the house trying to sign me up for the Nuclear Program. I tried to tell him that I wasn't that good in math and I really didn't want to make anyone glow.

Algebra, blahhhh. What are letters doing in a math problem anyway.

My attorney is Nuclear Waste....
He was a nuke, but like you changed his mind.
plus we did a little too much hell raising, went on to retire as an MMC in the reserves, and became an attorney along the way.
Nothing like knowing your attorney for 40 years.

Just like geometry. Prove it's a circle. I'm an art major, prove it's not!

I have to agrue that point, its the Engineer in me. Geometry makes sense, now Calculus is a different story.

See, I don't need to know why it's a circle, just how to draw one.
