I just have to add something I heard on one of the late night shows last night.
He asked for viewers to send in their most memorable school experience and received this one:
For the longest time I (male) grew a tail when they were popular and on the first day of school I sat in the seat I was assigned to. I wasn't there more than a minute and the girl behind me took out her scissors and cut it off.
"I ain't looking at THAT all year!"
