your punishment

[Mandy Gibbs]

tell us your worst punishment, wot did you do, and wot was your punishment

[Dave Ellis]

I was a very good little boy, so i didn't get punished much. Maybe a swift blow from Mr (nine eyes) Collett in the school bus queue? bl

:P

[JonnHolroyd]

Fraid i was a goodie goodie too. (|) I was only given 1 detention in my school life and that was a class detention :D

[RoBeRt BrOwN]

I had one detention, but I never turned up for it.

It was during geography or something that I kinda mumbled what someone else said who had got into trouble for and it was kind of a impulse to do that, dunno why, and I got detention for that!.

Still didn't turn up. (|) :D

Ok, this tale has to be the silliest punishment.
In Chemistry one day, I decided to see how red I could get the led from a pencil to glow when connected to a 12v power supply. I left it for a short while to "warm-up" and went to another table, while away, the pencil lead was cooking nicely. You know when you make toast and forget you put it on? well something very similar happend to me that day! Upon returning, I was quite pleased with my little experiment, apart from the hole burned into the table in the then "new" science block.
My punishment was to "repair" the table. The joy of walking into a classroom full of 6th formers and starting to drill a hold in a table (for dowel to fit in to patch the hole). Their faces a picture.
Sorry for labouring the point, but it still makes me smile 23 years later.

of course not, I must have been mistaken!! :rolleyes: but then again, as I was also a good girl in school, I wouldn't have known who was in detention!

S'funny, I think the mere threat of punishment/detention was enough to deter us from mis-behaving, but it doesn't seem to be the case nowadays (God I sound so old), it's all referrals and letters home..

mind you, the threat of detention with certain un-named Meccano-obsessed art/french/maths teachers was certainly enough for me to behave!!

I'm with you there Cat.

I very rarely got in trouble cos I had respect for my teachers, and I'm sure most of us were just a little bit scared as well. Also I knew what I'd get at home if I stepped out of line at school!

I see it first hand daily in school - indiscipline, lack of respect, violence - you name it. I blame the parents! Trouble is you can't do a damn thing about it. :angry:

Anyway I'll get down off my teachers-can't-do-right-for-doing-wrong-beaurocratic-rules-hands-tied high horse for now!

Somebody lighten me up before I get to school tomorrow, cos u just never know... :ph34r:

I just can't seem to get my head around what happened to our generation that made them believe that their children's sense of respect and right and wrong is not their responsibility?

Anyway, lightening the mood...

Always wear clean underwear in public, especially when working under your vehicle.

From the Northwest Florida Daily Newscome this story of a Crestview couple, who drove their car to Wallmart only to have their car breakdown in the parking lot.
The man told his wife to carry on with the shopping while he fixed the car in the lot. The wife returned later to see a small group of people near the car.

On closer inspection she saw a pair of male legs protuding from under the chassis. Although the man was in shorts, his lack of underpants turned private parts into glaringly public ones.

Unable to stand the embarrassment, she dutifully stepped forward, quickly put her hand up his shorts and !tucked everything back into place.

On regaining her feet she looked across the hood and found herself staring at her husband who was standing idly by.



The mechanic, however, had to have three stitches in his forehead.
:D

Every one's a winner!

I have to confess to doing something similar. In the 5th form, when we played football in Hillsborough gym, I (misguidedly) decided it was a good idea not to wear anything under my shorts. The idea was to let the boys breathe freely.
What a BAD idea! As it turneed out, every time I ran I lost my dignity. And I certainly daren't sit down.
What WAS I thinking?

And WHY am I telling you this?

You probably DON'T want to know this. TOO MUCH INFORMATION!

Sorry!
