Damn, my teachers never unzipped their jackets to reveal what's underneath.

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.

Hahahahahahaha I don't know if that's true, but the image it elicits is too much fun.

I imagine similar things have happened, but I have my doubts about the details.

I first heard that story on Reddit (and that's where I got the quote) but I suspect it's been around a while.

Still ... I agree, great story!

edit: Don't write comments while watching videos, you'll miss autocorrect oopsies.

Mine either, I am very thankful for that.
