Lol! Thanks for sharing these humorous stories, Terry. But I wasn't quite clear on what happened to Carl. Did he knock himself out and that's why he ended up on the pool table? Your teacher was pretty strict about spelling. I think today's teachers wouldn't be able to take points for spelling!

Comment from Judy Lawless
Thanks for sharing these humorous bits of advice you've acquired over the years, Terry. The best was the advice to the sailors, I think. It's too bad they couldn't have figured it out for themselves, though. lol Thanks for the chuckles.

I loved it, Terry. I'm not sure the penis thing was a sound solution to your problem, but who am I to say. Anyway, I love your ending here; masterfully done, my friend. Best, JohnC

I enjoyed reading this humorous piece. Each segment was more comical than the previous one. I was amazed at how bold you were in high school, to stand up to Miss Bellomy, And, that is definitely a good looking cat.

Comment from Wayne Fowler
Good story. Well written.
Sounds like the attitude I gave most of my English and lit teachers. I've wished for quite a while I had been more attentive... and respectful.
Best wishes.

Comment from nomi338
I have often wondered, why do Southerners say "do what?" instead of "say what?" or I beg your pardon, or excuse me, or some other iteration of that question. My biggest embarrassment from a writing teacher was when I was told in front of the entire college class, that until I learned how to properly spell the word interest, I should refrain from using it in anything I was writing.

Hey Terry. Have you always had this witty way with words? You write like someone that would be a heck of a lot of fun to gather around in a group and just listen to you share these comical accounts of stories told or experiences lived!
While I see that "wrench and hammer" therapy would work well ~ as an RN for too many years I cringed as I laughed! Either way, these guys were getting "hammered!"
Your second tid-bit sounds like what most moms would be suggesting ~ it would be better on the budget and the heart!
I can't imagine you ever getting a D+ on anything, but this third was my favorite. Your back and forth with the Miss Bellomy is hysterical. The final line a home run...
"Bellaclose" could have a much different meaning if I let my imagination run away with me! (smile)

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
I think the picture and its title go well with your story. I loved the part where you asked the teacher to spell Bellaclose. Lol. As for the ships doctor, that was probably the best bit of advicr the men were given! That was so funny! I really enjoyed this, well done!! :)) Sandra xx

Comment from barbara.wilkey
I enjoyed reading this post. We could learn a lot from our live lessons, if we chose too. It seems some people refuse to learn. Not sure why????
The next day the sick bay had a line of guys with bad hangovers and a case of venereal disease. (The following day...)
