At a dinner party in the home of friends, our host mentioned his highschool alma mater（母校，校歌） . One of the guests asked him if he had been a student there at the same time as a particular vice¹ principal.

"I sure was!" answered the host. "He's the biggest jerk I've ever met. Did you know him too?"

"Sort of," replied the guest. "My mother married him last Saturday."
