Humorous story

[ACORN]

Read this on Fox News. Don’t know if it’s true but I hope it is.
A former Sergeant in the Marine Corps took a new job as a high school teacher. Just before the school year started, he injured his back. He was required to wear a plaster cast around the upper part of his body. Fortunately, the cast fit under his shirt and wasn't noticeable. On the first day of class, he found himself assigned to the toughest students in the school. The smart punks, having already heard the new teacher was a former Marine, were leery of him and he knew they would be testing his discipline in the classroom. Walking confidently into the rowdy classroom, the new teacher opened the window wide and sat down at his desk. When a strong breeze made his tie flap, he picked up a stapler and stapled the tie to his chest. There was dead silence… the rest of the year went quite smoothly.

Perception is reality

I have known a Marine or two that would do that without the plaster cast just to show the newbies how tough Marines are.

I was shooting out behind my house today and shot a staple through my thumb posting up targets. Does that count?

Double tab....due to sore thumb.

That deserves two thumbs up.

I don't know what a real bullet feels like but a staple will make me say ouch, gosh, gee whiz and that hurts. Larry

I think that counts as something, but tough isn't really the top of my adjective list for that one! My high school gym teacher was a marine. Note: Marine and Gym Teacher should not legally be in the same sentence describing one person. This man's hair was so tough you could cut your fingers on it! He had a yearly program called "Marine Physical Fitness Training" or something stupid like that. We spent about 2 months a year "training" for that run through the gauntlet of rope climbing, push-ups, chin-ups, monkey bars, every torture device that would fit in the gym. He found out this skinny little hippie was in the top 10 in the school. He didn't like my hair, saying something about how good it will look on the barber's floor, but he did like me as a person, which was fine by me!
Never had a teacher staple his tie to his chest. That definitely is how to earn respect!

My Jr HS gym teacher was a Marine captain. He once gave me some swings of the apple board.

I was running wires at work. I asked the young guy I worked with, to get my staple gun.
It was one of the Black and Decker guns that kind of works opposite others. Instead of pushing with the heel of your palm, you push with the web of your thumb and forefinger.
Any, he goes to get the gun and a few we seconds later I hear “OWW”.
He picked it up like a regular staple gun, which is upside down on the B&D, put the face of stapler against his left palm, hit the trigger and, BAM, shot a 1/2” staple into his hand.

That's the pithiest Dear John letter I've come across!
