Too Zen For School

 

Frank: Hey, what's going on here?
Valerie: What's going on is that school starts tomorrow 
and I'm trying to get ready!

Valerie: You do remember that school starts tomorrow?
Frank: I try to push troubling thoughts like that out of my head.
That's why I'm so zen.

Valerie: Alright, Mr. Dalai Lama, have you also pushed out of your head
the fact that we have an essay due on the first day?
It's on how we spent our summer vacation.

Frank: Technically, summer vacation isn't over yet.
Can't write the book if you don't know the ending.
Valerie: Nevertheless, it's due tomorrow, scholar.

Frank: It's only 8 o'clock.  I've got plenty of time to get that essay done.
But first, I need a donut or two.  I can't create on an empty stomach.

A little later...

Frank: "How I spent my summer vacation: I ate donuts."

Frank: So fresh!  So spontaneous!
Bowie: You're such a goofus.
