Strange Brew by John Deering for September 05, 2024

Back to the “Suture”, when those things really cut you!

Glory, Glory, Hallelujah, Teacher hit me with a ruler I hit her in the butt With a rotten coconut And my teacher ain’t my teacher no more.

Sister Mary Agnes, or as we called her, Attila the Nun

And I’m SURE that Sister Mary Elephant was even ….. worse!!!

:-O

All the nuns, no exceptions, at Saint John’s Military Academy. They were ruthless!

Sister Marie Lawrence: We called her Mary Larry. She was short and wide, like R2D2 with rosary beads. We never saw her shoes … we suspect she moved on wheels!

I never went to Catholic school, but I knew a couple of nuns growing up. They were delightful — smiled often, were kind, loved to make others laugh and feel accepted. I was blown away when I learned about the negative experiences others (seemingly most others) had.

When my son was in grade school, we had a teacher conference were my son’s teacher showed us a picture she confiscated from him. It showed her in full habit but brandishing a katana. It was titled, “Nunja.” She laughed as she showed it to us and said, “It’s really quite good.” i agreed.

She looks nun too pleased.

I hope she doesn’t vote! Vance said that a teacher who doesn’t have children is “disturbing”.

“Not on the ear. Please, God, not on the ear!”

On a side note, excellent artwork on the political ’toon today, well done.

They normally just hit the boys. I assume it’s because they are little men.
