ketchenany Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 gees I never heard that out in the hallway! In a shop class one year we had a guy who was dense as a rock.

Old Ironmaker Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Yea today it would be deemed as insensitive and politically incorrect. I don't know the rest and never heard of the first line either. One of the schools I went to didn't have hall monitors it had Correctional Officers. You didn't graduate you got out on good behaviour.
