She blinded Me with...SCIENCE!!!!

I loved science. It was full of rockets, astronomy,weather, and technology. It was one subject i really got into. Even in those dark days of exhile in monterey .(I had many good times, and friends while i lived there, but they were niether present, much of the time, during school) I think that is why this spanking caught me by surprise, and hurt so much. I thought my science teacher was more enlightened i guess.

We were given an assignment to come up with a report on weather, outside our textbooks, with documentation, by the weekend. No broblem. after school i went up to bishop drugs where i had a part time job. I swept, mopped, took out the trash, and...JOY!! I took care of all the print media that came in the store. The guy would come in once a week drop off the new, and pick up the old, and it was my job to put it all up. take down the out of date, and keep it all neat. this included the magazine rack, the paperback books (yep this is where i got my MAN FROM UNCLE BOOKS, and dare i say it playboys...shhhh they didn't know) and ofcourse my favorites...The comic books.

I collected about 15 different comic books every month. part of my pay was i could keep any of the comics i collected free. cool! One of the comics in that bunch was "Lost In Space" Every issue had an article in the middle about strange but true science facts. Well! Just what the dr ordered right? Wrong! This paticular issue just happened to have an article called "Strange objects rain from the sky" It was about various things that have been known to fall to earth, including fish, frogs, and even large stones. I had heard of this before from other sources. i knew it was true. So i wrote it up. Brought the comic book to class, and gave my report.

As usual my classmates could be counted on to make my day. i was laugh at soundly. And not even allowed to finnish. "MR Kolbe please see me after class please." my science teacher was not happy. I wasn't either. I hated most of these people. i had no friends. i hated everything. I spent the rest of the hour watching Yolanda Stevens cross, and uncross her legs. time well spent.

But ofcourse all things must pass (even cheese) so all too soon i found myself facing a very disappointed science teacher. i stood by her desk head down, eyes swimming with tears as she scolded me for wasting her time, my time ,and my classmates time with comic books.This scorn for my report was demonstrated by tossing my report, and my source in her trash basket. i tried to tell her i had heard other sources for my information, but when i mentioned that source was television...

"Mr Kolbe i would hardly call television a reliable source of sientific information either. it's clear to me you did not take this assignment seriously." she reached into the top drawer of her desk , and pulled out her paddle. "perhaps you will take this seriously" I was ordered to empty my back pockets, bend over, and grab my ankles. the first smack took my breath.SMACK! The second followed quickly. "you will turn in another report monday...SMACK!....And you will not use a comic book, or telivision for a source..SMACK!! Is that clear? SMACK!! " I blubbered that it was. cry ing freely. blushing furiously.SMACK!! "Good ." she dropped the paddle back in the drawer, and pulled several kleenex from the box on her desk. "stand up Jerry." "Here straighten up a little before you leave, and no more comic books in this class..clear?" I mumbled assent as i left. "Here" she said. I turned and she handed me my comic out of her trash can
