At lunch today, I saw a shopping cart full of books, a baby carriage full of milk, and a midget.

On the bus this morning, the dude driving the bus told a passenger that her daughter needed a male teacher "so she can hear that voice and feel the authority."

The first time I heard the saying "lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way" was in high school, when we had some weird ex-military cat in the gym speaking to the entire student body. I think he was saying that the longhairs and the rappers were ruining America or something. The principal ended up leading him away, dismissing us, and finally coming over the intercom and apologizing for the whole debacle. And I swear I think he referred to the guy as Ranger Dick. It was something like that. I don't remember how the "get the hell out of the way" thing worked into his speech. Anyway, I heeded his advice, and to this day I consider it my civic responsibility to get the hell out of the way at every opportunity.

Oh yeah--I also saw a bumper sticker with that saying at lunch today. But that was AFTER I was already thinking about it. I take it as a sign. Of what, I'm not sure.

My boxers feel like they're on sideways. I should fix that.

Wow. You had the one decent principal in America. Lucky you! I bet he cleared his throat whenever he saw kids lightin' up the bowls behind the dumpsters, bless his little heart.

Put both legs in the same hole again? I've been guilty of that.

I love that saying. It would make a nice deltoid tattoo, with a big ol' 'Merkin Flag.

Yeah, I remember thinking he was a pretty good egg. He looked like Mr. Kotter. Some of our assistant principals were another story, though.

Since I've started working in public schools, I've realized that school principals are a friggin' weird breed.

I'll bet! They tend to have weird names, too, like Walt the Dick and Jeanette the Fucking Asshole. Really, though, it does make you wonder how people end up in those positions.
