"It does all sorts of neat stuff that might come in handy some day."
What day might this be? Sometime around the Apocalypse when we'd have to

I passed advanced maths because the teacher was the basketball coach of the
jv team that I just happened to be the statistician of. I sat out high
school calculus in favor of a study hall. Back then math made me cry instead
of just giggle stupidly.
