That would all be VERY funny if it weren't 100% dead-on truth.

 

No lie.....

 

Scary how stupid society has gotten when it comes to kids. I was whipped as a little kid (and still get threatened to get a whipping and I'm 21), blew ants up as a little kid, got hugged by teachers when I fell and scraped my knee, got whipped when I continued to do something I was told not to, brought tylenol to class with me and I'm still normalish.

 

The last one can not be true. kids aren't allowed to run outside anymore.

 

I remember an 8th grade shop teacher (mechanical drawing) who like the bottle a bit. Would leave the class for a few minutes and imbibe. All of us guys really liked him, great teacher, fun class.

One day he leaves, me and my locker partner Jeff Hawkins decide to chase each other around. Jeff knocks a bunch of stuff off my desk and I take his triangle and throw it in the air where is promptly sticks to the ceiling.

When the teacher came back and saw what happened, Jeff and I had to grab our ankles and he gave us a swat. I didn't sit for 2 days, we loved it.
