....... great anecdote Bear.A real Master of the Fun Aspect of the Universe, or even just a regular human being with an inspirational take on the teaching profession, would've laughed his arse off & made everyone feel good.
I know I'm a repetitive neanderthal,but I just love these lines from Kipling......
The curtains part,the trumpet blares, and the eunuchs howl aloud ; and the gilt swag bellied idol glares insolent over the crowd.
'This is Rimmon,Lord of the Earth...Fear him and bow the knee!'
And I watch my comrades hide their mirth, that rode to the wars with me.
