I really don't understand the motivation behind this, except that the phy.ed. teacher had some wierd love- interest with basketball.

Sports really aren't my thing, though I do have a soft spot for (and a few sore spots from) soccer. Everything else I could just as soon do without. Especially basketball.

Oh, and if you haven't gotten the joke in the first panel, reread it a couple times. ... My body may be present and accounted for, but that doesn't mean my mind's inside.
