Coonbrother didnt teach the kids to violate no rules! he explained they were completely responsible for their own actions!

that is good parenting. he also gave them sound advise on not being the ones that got hurt!

And showed them how to achieve greater success in their violation of the rule.

If a five year-old boy can be suspended from school for "sexual harrassment" just because he kissed a girl, it's quite possible Coonskinner could have charges brought against him.

Which would probably bring a smile to your normally taciturn countenance.

Remember, I don't live in a fascist regime like New York, nor would I.

Not by the hair of my channy chan chan.

It was comical...my cousin Buck and I were both straight A students in high school.

I was first chair tenor sax in the band, and he was first chair clarinet, of all things.

But we got in so many scraps that finally after numerous other methods, the principal called us in and had a heart to heart chat with us.

He said that the only reason we had not been expelled already was that we were such good students, but that if we got in one more fist fight before the end of school, we were goners. That particular day we had thrashed a fairly determined foursome. "Bigguns line up, littluns bunch up" was our motto.

That little meeting sobered us somewhat, because we didn't want to have to repreat that year of high school just because of too much recreational pugilism.

You go to school in the hood???
