In the third grade Joey Braham and I got into a bit of a footsy match during math class and had to stay after school.

Which would mean we would not make it home in time for Speed Racer. Joey tried to negotiate with the teacher, "Can't we do this tomorrow? We are going to miss Speed Racer and this is the episode where he finally figures out Racer X is really his brother!"

She was unmoved. So we had to wait another 10 weeks or so for that episode to come around again.
