Brutal

Did your parents believe in corporal punishment? Growing up in Minnesota, everyone believed in corporal punishment. Even my science teacher used corporal punishment. Mr. Nygard had some kids from shop class make him a paddle. When he could not inflict enough pain with this one hand model of paddle, he commisioned a new one that was larger and had a handle like a baseball bat.
Well, old science genious teach, was not strong enough to swing this heavier model very well. When he used it on some hapless guy, the young man would just smile and say it did not hurt. For several days afterward, this problem was the science topic. Mr Nygard challenged us to design a better mousetrap, er paddle, if you will.
All of us in the class, knew the remedy. Just drill holes near enough to each other to let the air through the paddle and prevent air cusioning. Someone wanting the offered "A" in the class had the gall to say in class what we were abuzz about.
So, Mr Nygard again commisioned the modefications. The next time Ray shot a spit wad was the last time. At least the last time in Mr Nygard's class. I wonder if his butt is red still?
