Things they don't seem to teach in school anymore.

I'll have to kill him. After I torture him. Then cut him up.



I have found it easier to just do a little pre-emptive Knee capping.
First time I meet ANY "Boy" that is hanging around my daughter, I kick them in the Knee cap. Once they get up and ask why I did that, I tell them "it was for Thinking about it."
When they ask “Thinking about what?”, I Just look at them and kick the other Kneecap.
They usually dont hang around much after that for some strange reason.:D


Thats not "kneecapping". For your reading pleasure....I think the Irish came up with it.

Do tell.

I can use the laugh.



From my experience - they no longer teach:
How to use a ruler.
How many seconds are in a minute.
Fractions and anything remotely relating to fractions.
Basic English - things such as sentence structure, subject/verb agreement.
Spelling.

Oh the list goes on...

A buddy of mine told me how he handled 'over-zealous' teen age boys. When his daughter came home from a first date with a boy she knew, she told her daddy that the boy got a little 'handsy' but stopped when she told him to. Her daddy, handed a quarter. She ask what the quarter was for? Her daddy told her; "The next time he tries something, hand him the quarter and tell him to call me for permission!":D

...or tell time on a 'standard' clock! When my youngest boy was 9, he was in the kitchen doing his homework. I was in the living room watching t.v. I asked him what time it was. After a long hesitation, I asked him again, what time it was. I got up from the couch and went to the kitchen and asked him why, he didn't tell me the time. He sadly told me that, he was never taught in shool how to tell time on anything other than a digital clock. I really felt for him and got a paper plate and proceeded to make one of those clocks like we made in 1st grade.

Teachers don't get paid for the summer, though (at least not in CA), so most teachers I know either have spouses with a second income, or find work subbing in year round schools or doing other things. Most people can't afford three months off without pay.



You're right. Actually, in Alabama, they get 9 months pay spread over 12 months. Most of the teachers I know, do have spouses with their own jobs as well.

We get the same here in OZ, although we DO get 4 weeks paid leave per year, the other 8 weeks is not paid, but our pay is spread throughout the year. So it till feel like 12 weeks paid vacation per yearB|B|B|B|B|

Hunny, you just posted a pic of your beautiful girl on a skydiving website. You best get yerself 2 guns. :P



Hmm...good point!!

I think she's pretty safe, though... her Mom is pretty well-armed, too! I figure if I take her to the DZ, I'll just grab a bullwhip.... :P;)B|


Given my own sordid history, having a daughter is my WORST NIGHTMARE. They say women fall for men who are like their fathers. [:/]

I'll have to kill him. After I torture him. Then cut him up. :o


Makes for good fishing bait...

...so I've heard:):D
Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie.
