Jason got the frank truth from a high school teacher once it was apparent he would graduate with no problems. Meanwhile, Steve and his class missed out on Lava Hot Springs because they were so horribly behaved that they couldn't be trusted not to be horrible, proving that when words don't work, a punch or a cutting remark will do. Also, some cities have dumb pronunciations so you don't realize they're not the cool one. Finally, never attempt "light as a feather, stiff as a board" with the chunky kid.
