Experiment 1-"Bo Does Not Know Opera"
Status-FAILED

The thing that I pride myself on is knowledge of the creme de la creme of culture. Assuming that a brute such as this more than likely does not listen to anything more challenging than Whitney Houston, my first thought was to bait the subject into a conversation about the complexities of operatic theater. Sure that, in twenty minutes time I would've achieved my goal and would be able to return to Pennsylvania post haste, I chatted Mr. Jackson up one morning as he exited his home for a jog. My face was turned red, however, when I, blithely chatting about the meter structure of "Carmen," was pointedly informed by the subject that I was confused, and had mistakenly quoted a line from "La Boheme" rather than "Carmen."

I concede this failure, and make a promise to myself to not be so cautious in the next exercise.
