Strange, exactly. I was looking for the right word.

People really are afraid of what they don't understand.

Kid says himself that all the other kids were being loud and making noise, just as every single session of phys. ed. in the entire history of phys. ed. I guess because his noise was different than the other kids...

PEOPLE -.-

That's completely inexcusable... well, depending on how badly he sings. Are we talking Jim Morrison or more of a Rod Stewart? Hey, you have to draw the line somewhere. :)

That is probably the most soul-killing thing I'll ever hear in my life. You're right. She may have had warrant.

some people would pay good money to be handcuffed by a female PE teacher..;)


I don't know... most of the female gym teachers tend to be a little "strong". Unless that's your thing ;)

If someone being tasered could somehow grab onto the person tasering them and make contact with their skin, the taserer would be shocked as well, right? I know that doing so would be almost impossible, even if they were close enough to use it in stun-gun mode, but would that work?


If you see it coming, just throw yourself at the person with the taser and grab them. Unless, of course, it's an officer. That would be assault.

Edit: Of course that's assuming it would actually work. It wouldn't. The charge travels from one prong on the taser to the other, passing through whatever flesh is in its way. It won't take drastic turns and travel through other body parts, let alone through another person. The electrons simply take the path of least resistance until they get to the other side.

I don't know. WE don't know.

We werent there.

When I first heard about Kramer from Seinfeld doing his thing on stage i said "come on ALL comedians are off color and yell back at the audience." Then I saw the video.

When I heard about the girl suing McDonalds for being stripsearched. I thought ANOTHER McDonalds lawsuit? Then I (PAINFULLY) watched the video.

I'll tell you from years of working with kids. It does not pay well, its not prestigious and MOST people do it because they genuinely love it.

We werent there. We dont know.
