A good AD would fire a coach for that. I know, because I've seen two good ADs do it. Most coaches/teaches have personal conduct clauses in their contracts. "Happy scores" fall under these clauses.

I had no issue with it after you pointed out it was sarcasm.

I just didn't get it the first time around.

And for the record, IT WASN'T A COMPARISON. It was a joke.

But if you insist on calling it a comparison, I'll surrender, but offer this: sometimes it helps to use an extreme example if you want to make a point. Like the dude who ate at McDonald's for a month straight. Sure, it's not 100 percent accurate because nobody does that. But by going to an extreme, he proved McDonald's eaten in large quantities not only is bad for you, it can damage your liver for ****'s sake.

It's not that hard to understand.
Billy,

It's all good. That's the problem with trying to interpret the written word. There's no "emotion" attached to it, so it can be hard to fully understand what the writer was trying to convey.

There's no body language involved (i.e. rolling of the eyes, shrugging of the shoulders).
