I got suspended for a day, a fine sunny winter's day, with fresh snow on the ground, simply because the target I threw the snowball at opened the front door of the school and dodged inside, causing the compacted frozen water projectile pursuing him to land at the feet of the school's VP.

My old man laughed at that one.

MYOB. - The key to liberty. Don't know MYOB? Leave me alone and mind your own business.

I'm a greedy selfish bastard, and damn proud of it.

You're not foolish enough to trust government, are you? Then think about this:

Since there isn't any corn on the cob, thanks solely to government interference, my kids have lost the freedom to eat corn on the cob on the Fourth of July this year.

What the hell kind of country are the socialists building here?

Default Re: Conn. Student Suspended For Buying Candy In School

I was suspended for the day. Just walking down the hall and the Dean pulled me aside and said my hair was too long. Nothing written up or official, he just told me to leave school and not come back till I got a haircut. I did not get a haircut and just went back to school the next day acting like nothing ever happened. Was a very large High School so I guess I just hoped I did not run into him again. A few weeks later and only about a week or so until I was to graduate, he spotted me. Took me to his office, wrote me a referral and again said to leave and not return till I got a haircut and to report to him before returning to class. I did not get a haircut and skipped the next day. I returned the next day for one class to take a final exam. It was Spanish II class and the only one I really needed to take. I took it and left. Never saw that Dean again but I remember telling my Spanish teacher after taking the exam (who was also the baseball coach for the school and did not like my hair) what happened. He said why didn't you just get a haircut? I told him I had already been accepted to college, I thought the rule was assinine, I had no intention of getting a haircut and as far as my diploma, the school could mail it to me. I never returned.

Funny, the next school I went to did not care how long my hair was.

That would piss me off.

Not that my hair's long or anything, I'm straight.

If you have someone on ignore because you don't like their opinions, do us all a favor and just leave, moron.
