Uppercut? I remember some Nuns of my youth who could have gone toe-to-toe with Sonny Liston. They would have recoiled in horror at the mildness of Bobby's love pat.
I've been whacked with rulers, pointers and yardsticks by blood crazed Franciscan nuns. But nothing tops what happened to me in the 4th grade at St. Anthony School in Dayton, Ohio. Sr. Gemma, who was at least 80 years old, guillotined me over the head with her gnarled wooden prosthetic arm. And you guys wonder why I am the way I am 8)
I had similar experiences, Bobda. I fondly remember Sister Mary Godzilla. She went on to star in the movies..........in Blues Bothers.
I had Dominican Nuns through the 7th grade, not one whack on the hands, seriously, no kidding... really.... 8)
8) I was knocked down a flight of stairs by Father P.D. and lifted out of my desk/chair by my sideburns by Father Football etc... Those incidents went on for four years and every time my behavior was corrected I was told how unfortunate it was that I brought this punishment on myself... ..................JO'Co
I went to a bris about ten years ago. The moyel(?) was about 100 years old, had a beard down to his feet and shook like wet puppy. I knew we were in trouble when all the women ran outside.... before he got started. When he went to work I fired down a double shot of JD to steady myself. I'll never forget it. :shock:
No MD's LOL..as Krebs describes..they are Moyels. Its a "specialtie". Usually only one in a community. He comes to the house with his little bag of tools. The home owner supplies clean towels, some hot water to sterilize his tools, and he does the rest. He is then paid, given some schnappes, and off he goes! jif
HOT WATER!!! That doesn't sterilize tools.... I hope it's just a custom and that he has an actual autoclave at home to truly sterilize his tools!!!
No autoclaves in the Biblical days Doc! I guess maybe the procedure just needs antiseptic of some sort lol jif
Hey did you guys hear this one? A 90-year old man said to his doctor, "I've never felt better. I have an 18-year old bride who is pregnant with my child. What do you think of that?" The doctor replied, "I have an elderly friend who is a hunter and never misses a season. One day he was in a hurry and picked up his umbrella by mistake. When he got to the creek, he saw a beaver. He raised his umbrella and went 'bang, bang, bang', and the beaver fell dead. What do you think of that?" The 90-year old said, "I'd say somebody else shot the beaver." The doctor said, "My point exactly."
