"Fellow voters, that's why you should join our cult like movement. We're the best and we won't have anyone tell us otherwise."

"Nah, you're a bit overly propagandistic for my tastes and take yourselves far too seriously. You're kind of like a squad of political missionaries trying to convert me to your central purpose in life, actually I've decided I'm going to turn my ballot paper into a fan instead. Much more useful"

Love that song! (By the Honeycombs 😉🙌)
Although I reckon a woman playing drums back then looked weird. 😉😂
I’m not a feminist but those who are, please don’t take offence. I’m old school. 🥳

Karen unusual would be a better word choice than weird, but I know what you mean.

I like a subtle caption. Great reference.

We had a teacher that used to throw chalk. Nothing makes you pay attention like a fast moving writing implement smacking you in the head.

James Lennox

If I had tried that I would have lasted much less than twenty years as a teacher.
I didn't have much chance to use humor in the classroom, but my favorite instance was when someone asked to go the restroom three minutes" before the bell. I'm thinking ("Dude, there's only three minutes left, I can't let you go now, you won't come back.") Then I got an idea. I said "Ok, I'll let you go, but you have to wait for three minutes." He was all excited, thinking he had pulled one over on me. He stood by the door and just as three minutes had passed, he turned to me as if to say "Can I go now?" Then the bell rang and he left.

Willie Johnson

One of my Teachers at college said he had the class clown, despite numerous warnings causing disruption. Since he was teaching technical drawing he had the board ruler in his hands, to make a point he slapped the ruler on his desk. The ruler had a hole near the end to allow the ruler to be hung up, at this weak spot the ruler broke and the end flew directly at the offender skimming through his hair. It was accidental but the offender was quiet for rest of the class.

Nice story (caption author).

Btw, I'm sure you meant "quiet", but "quite" works too, as in 'the offender was quite for the end of class'.

Willie Johnson

I quite agree with you Willie.
