Isn’t this terrible?

A substitute kindergarten teacher in Amanda, Ohio, was so fed up as she listened to four overly-chatty boys. So she silenced them by using clothespins on their mouths.

Ruth Ann Stoneburner was permanently suspended after she admitted to attaching the spring-type clothespins on the kids’ upper or lower lips.

On Friday, a Delaware judge ordered a man to wear a T-shirt with the words: “I am a registered sex offender” in bold letters. russell, Teeter, 69, plead guilty to two counts of indecent exposure for twice exposing himself to a 10-year-old girl at his workplace.
Teeter was also was sentenced to 60 days in jail by Superior Court Judge Jan Jurden in Wilmington.

Roberts said he requested the unusual T-shirt punishment because he was concerned about Teeter exposing himself to children at the gardening business he runs with his wife. I think his wife should run her business on her own or else she’s not going to have one once her husband shows up with that T-shirt on.

Teeter had at least 10 prior convictions dating back to 1976 for exposing himself to children and had been diagnosed as a compulsive exhibitionist. Teeter will have to wear the T-shirt at work for 22 months after he gets out of jail. He has 30 days to appeal the sentence.

Now this is odd, Hans Monderman, a Dutch transportation planner is pushing his innovative plans for improving traffic.

Would you like to know what proprosals he’s made? Glad you asked. His proposals include eliminating traffic signs and street markings, which he thinks will force drivers to be careful as they hunt for their destinations, and building children’s playgrounds in median strips of roads, figuring that drivers would surely slow down.

Hans - you haven’t been taking your medications have you? Kids playing in the medians? No traffic signs? Hello? People have a hard enough time driving and not getting into problems with traffic signs. Plus- what wouldn’t that confuse tourists and out of towners even more?

What do you think of this proprosal?

Good Grief, what else are they going to ban?

Add two more Massachusetts primary schools to the list of US schools that have been banning the age-old game of tag for fear that children may get hurt and their parents will sue. Officials at McCarthy Elementary School told the local media that the children have been ordered to invent a new no-contact version of the game for safety reasons.

“If the hands come out to touch, then the supervisors ask them to stop,” McCarthy principal Joan Vodoklys was quoted as saying in the Boston Herald Friday. “What we require is that children do not touch each other.”

Do these kids still have gym class? If they do that will probably be banned next. Don’t children need to run around and play to burn off all that extra energy? I some how made it through primary school without hurting myself so badly that my parents thought to sue the school.
