I once saw, on TV, a Brooklyn comedian ask his audience

“any of you went to a Catholic school?”

a few hands went up…

“You remember the names of the nuns?

Lefty?

Knuckles?”

they did.

IIRC, the sister in the grade-school I was in, broke a boy’s arm, when she flipped his desk on him, for backtalk.

It was a Catholic school.

She … hated children?

Angry, endless anger, in her…

damned odd way of choosing someone for being a teacher…
