Old School

 

When I was in the fourth grade  we used to play this math game  where you stood up with you opponent in front of the class and you  had to solve the math problem in your head and give the correct  answer out loud first.

One kid in my class who I’ll call Chuck here,  was infamous for screeching out a stream of random numbers and sometimes he got the answer right. The upshot is, it’s hard to do a math problem in your head with this stream of verbal vomit hitting you in the face.

 SO.

After suffering through being ” Chucked” a few times- I did this before the Math game started.

I cornered ” Chuck” in the hall before class and told  him if he did that to me again,  I’d beat him up everyday at second  recess ( just so he could suffer through first recess waiting for his beating ) for a solid  week.

Yes that worked.

 At least, he never did that to me again- he continued to do it to  everyone else though and I’m willing to bet he STILL does things like that.
 
So for all you guys who wish Obama ‘would have done more’ at the last debate- thank your lucky stars I”m not your POTUS or you’d be living on Planet of the Apes by now.

And I’d be calling some of you Chuck.
