A Quick Lesson

The computer science instructor was demonstrating the wonders of static electricity to his class. While holding a plastic rod in one hand and a wool cloth in the other, he told the class, "You can see that I get a large charge from rubbing my rod..." That was pretty much the end of learning for that day.

Something like that happened me a couple of years ago.

I was working in America at a summer camp. We got all the kids together on the ball field for a Bang Bang.

Getting them all to sit still and listen was a bit of challange. I calling things to order and explaining the game I calle Gang Bang. A few laughs from the rest of the guys, I went bright red burst out laughing and carried on. None of the kids noticed.
