I was sitting in music class at Oneida (i before e except in Oneida) watching the space shuttle launch into space. Sally Ride, a teacher and the presumptive first American woman in space, was aboard when it exploded on live TV.
Always trying to be funny, I casually said, “Well, that’s one less teacher.”
I was immediately sent to the Principle’s office where I promptly received 2 licks with a wooden board by a right handed man who only had the thumb and fore finger on his right hand so he gave licks backhand with his left hand while facing away from the “target.”
