  1. I know it well, as well as the 12 inch ruler(30.48cm for you Canadians) smacking your hand.

    1. Frightened by a ruler, Cederq? My teacher used a yardstick…

  2. Geez, Louise--I just had a PTSD moment from my grade 5 class with my hot (and short-tempered) Italian teacher back in the 70s.

    1. Yup. It wasn’t as bad if ya saw it coming; it’s the ones that caught ya by surprise that were the worst…

  3. ...And that cacophonous whooshing sound that identified every aerodynamic flaw in the thing as it made its way to its intended target... Indeed I do...

    1. That’s what happens when they go subsonic, Pete. I had this horrible old bitch of a teacher in grade five that could do trick shots. That old whore would launch and when that thing got down range… likely as not there’d be a ricochet… and there’d be two tards taken out…! πŸ˜‚

  4. Yep. Had one teacher would lob it at you (accurately). Or if the mood took him would stick you in a headlock and tap the duster all over your head. You’d look like feckin’ Julian Assange. We laughed and laughed – Catholic school !!

    1. I’ve heard nothing but horror stories about catholic schools, Chuck. But now that I think of it…the vast majority of them were told in humorous and fond tones…☺️
