Corporal Punishment

Recommended Posts

In the late 70s my mother once got a phone call from someone, off island she thought due to their accent, that asked her what the Birching process involved and what state of undress the person receiving it was in and asking all sorts of similar sh1t.

My father heard the convo' and being the person he was he went to the garage and got a very large air fog horn type thing that you could buy at the time and fit on an air cannister to raise help when you were at sea in trouble.

Taking the phone off my mother he waited until the guy on the other end had got himself very "worked up" should we say and then said in a very deep voice - DO YOU LIKE MEN BEING HIT YOU PERVERT - and blew the air horn down the phone. 

They never called back

P.S. A air horn or loud whistle is a very good way to get rid of unwanted sales calls too.

I had a maths teacher in the mid-70's who used to direct a good 90% of his time and attention to the minority of kids who enjoyed and were good at maths. The rest of us who needed a little bit of extra help to understand simply floundered.

He'd hold weekly pop-quizzes (you never knew which day) and afterwards he would line those of us up who had more than one wrong answer out of ten, and administer one swat for each wrong answer.

Swats were delivered via a thin cricket bat shaped piece of wood, with half-inch holes drilled into the business end. Hurt like hell and gave me a deep-seated aversion to maths. 

As a result, my maths ability has always been sub-par, until the last ten years or so after I realised from where my maths problem stemmed. I actively started to work at becoming better at it. I previously believed I was doomed to mathematical ineptness. 

It has unfortunately adversely affected my life in several ways over the years.

Years later I heard that he was forced to "retire" after enough parents complained. Mine never did because I was too scared to tell them as in their eyes, a teacher was always in the right. Punishment at home involved a belt, with the buckle end employed for offences perceived to be particularly grievous. I didn't want to get a second punishment, that's for sure!

On the other hand, during my school days I had the occasional well deserved whack on the posterior for acting like a jerk, but that maths teacher was the only one who used corporal punishment on students who simply required better teaching. 

I always find this very true when you think about these type of things.

 

Not saying you are stupid BTW

It certainly is and I guarantee it works every time. I find that nice persuasive Indian gentlemen particularly hate a whistle blown as hard as possible down the phone. Funny you dont get any call backs though ! .

Quite but his staving Wife and Kids might not eat that night as he's only taking advantage of us as we did to him in the past! Wonder who taught them to do that?
