Fat Albert Moment

My Saturday morning cartoon-viewing (1970's) always included Fat Albert (whose little brother was in fact named Russell). At some point during each episode, there would be some variation of the following put-down:

Guy with half a pumpkin on his head: "You're like a summer vacation. No class!"

Or:

Guy who added a "buh" after each word: "You're-buh like-buh a teacher-buh strike-buh. No class-buh."

This evening at dinner, I was telling Jill that I needed to get started working on the class I am set to teach this summer.

Alexis: "Daddy, you have no class!"
