Bones and his good buddy Don are in middle school, ninth grade. They cut every class they can get away with. The teachers don’t mind at all. They feel that Bones and Don are ineducable anyway. In a fit of frustration, one teacher tells Don he’s ineducable. Don asks Bones what ineducable means. Bones, he’s got a dictionary at home, he looks the word up. Bones tells Don “That means we can’t be educated, that we can’t learn anything.” Don says “Yeah, that’s us all right. That’s cool. Let’s go play pin ball.” Bobby |

Bones does have an education. He knows just what he needs to know to survive. He does seem quite good at it. I like these tales, very much. |

I think Bones's buddy Don is a bad influence on him Bobby. It's time he had a better friend. Lindsay |

Thanks Lindsay, Bones and Don were a bad influence on each other. They both tried to drag the other down to their own level of depravity. They still keep in touch. Don is a retired, and much respected, insurance salesman, while Bone is a retired, and world renowned engineer. Bobby |

Hey Bobby -- I've often referred to the streets as an institution of higher learning! Enjoyed -- Art |

Thanks Art, The one thing that you learn from the streets that is not taught at other Institutions of higher learning is to survive. Bobby |
