my mother and father used to have a Pontiac Grand Am that had the paint peeling off of it. they always commenter that the car had leprocy, obviously i thought that leprocy was when that paint peeled off of your car. in the third grade my teacher asked what leprocy was. i raised my hand and proudly gave my answer (thinking i was a genius). i then learned that i really wasnt.
