A school teacher friend of mine injured his back and had to wear a plaster cast around the upper part of his body. On his first day of the term, still with the cast under his shirt, he was assigned to teach the most undisciplined class. Stepping confidently into the rowdy classroom, he opened the window as wide as possible. Just then, a strong breeze made his tie flap. Trying to fix the tie , he took a blackboard eraser and hammered a large tack through his tie into his chest.

　　He had no trouble with discipline that term.

28.强悍的教师

　　我有一位作教师的朋友弄伤了他的背，因此上身不得不穿石膏罩。开学的第一天，他的身上还穿着石膏罩。他被分派教最不守纪律的班级。他很自信地步入乱哄哄的教室，把窗子尽可能大地打开。就在这时，一阵强风把他的领带吹得飘起来。为了固定领带，他拿起黑板擦，把一个大头钉透过领带砸入他的胸膛。

　　那学期在他的课上，没有不守纪律的。
