How many of you remember "dress codes" back in school? Or, how about that mean teacher or principal who thought they were the Gestapo?
We had one of those "Gestapo" men for a principal. Here's the story.
Our first principal wore an ungodly ugly wide, wide tie with a big flamingo on it. One pre-planned day per year, all of us kids would raid our dad's ties and find the widest and ugliest, then sneak it and wear it at school. Since the nearly-bald principal's nickname was "Fuzz," the day was known as "Fuzz Tie Day." After the second Fuzz Tie Day, the following opening day of school Fuzz called a special school assembly in the school gym. He started his lecture with, "Why-uh, we had it last year and we had it the year before that. But we're NOT going to have it this year!" Of course, he was wrong. We had it. That bit of tomfoolery, though, backfired big time. Fuzz was fired and a new, much younger principal hired. This man was downright mean and would punish the boys with a horrible beating with a thick wooden paddle with holes drilled in it. These day's he would be sent to prison for those beatings. Yes, this man missed his calling. Everyone said he would've made a perfect Gestapo man in Nazi Germany.
Here's the film. Enjoy. OR ELSE!
