Actually, Steve, the exact quote was "You see, Mrs. Ehrlich, Latin is so boring that even the clock fell asleep!"
I remember it well, and get a laugh out of it to this very day.
Also, there was a science teacher, whose name eludes me, of whom David said "He looks like a Kleenex box with the air squeezed out of it". The teacher was pretty short and that was the ad for the new Kleenex box that came out that year!
It should be stipulated that Mrs Ehrlich was an outstanding Latin teacher. Of course, smart asses that we were, and in deference to her love of classic mythology, she was nicknamed "The Old Roman". That may have been another Agre contribution.
So Agre and I used to date on and off. What a character! I’ll never forget the night we came back to my house and I didn’t have my keys. He climbed in the house through my tiny kitchen window and landed in the sink. When he jumped down, my dog Niki bit him in the butt! RIP David Agre. You were always so much fun!

Was the Science Teacher Mr Otwell?
Robert Louis Abrahamson
Mrs Wellington called him "David", of course. And she called Krasnoff "Robert". Of course.

I was also there for the famous clock comment, couldn't stop laughing then, and starting again now...

Sounds like science teacher may have been Mr Bizer who taught Biology.

David was my first boyfriend, he was so cute, tough but cute, I was saddened to hear of his passing.

I don't have any Agre stories, but I sure have enjoyed all of yours. I remember David fondly.
