Yeah...I got the paddle a few times, back when teachers could do actual discipline. I had one history teacher in 9th grade, would take ya out of the classroom..."you.. outside.. NOW!". He'd grab ya by the shoulders, slam ya against the lockers out in the hall...but not really. He'd stop right before ya hit the locker, and kick the locker with his foot. Made a hell of a racket, and the class thought he was beating the hell out of ya. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In high school, the teachers didn't even mess with silly detention for the incorrigible. They'd go have a chat with a gym teacher (the wrestling coach). You'd just be walking down the hallway, and a giant sasquatch arm would suddenly envelope your shoulders, "We need to have a talk." Locker-room time.

Walt Longmire Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I got hacked all the way through school. 1st grade right through Sr year. 1st day of 7th grade me and an NDN kid both got whailed on with a jump rope for fighting in the locker room. Something that was unsettled from the year before when we were in different schools and had played basketball against each other. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwalchmai Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 My father had a quirky sense of humor (imagine). He had an aunt, Kathleen, who loved him dearly ("Petey was always my favorite" she often told me), and who was quite superstitious. She and her husband, Dad's Uncle Foots, would always stamp a gray mare whenever they saw one. Anyway, Dad used to sneak onto her back porch where she kept her calendar and write cryptic warnings on random days, such as "BEWARE!" on March 18, and "Stay inside!" on May 7. As far as we knew she never figured out that he was the culprit, or maybe she did and just never let on. Anyway, I thought it was a cool little relationship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The process was to lick one's right thumb and press it into the left palm, then hammer the palm with the right fist. Supposedly such action would bring luck to the "stamper". My childhood was peppered with similar activities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My great-aunt Annie, Foots' sister, used to warn us never to eat at roadside tables, for they were infested with fleas. She also said we should never write our names and addresses on scraps of paper and throw them out the car windows, for obvious reasons. She was a Grand Old Lady of the South.

Wards against evil and stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
