A former Sergeant in the Marine Corps took a new job as a high school teacher.   
   Just before the school year started, he injured his back. He was required to   
   wear a plaster cast around the upper part of his body. Fortunately, the cast   
   fit under his shirt and wasn't noticeable.   
       
   On the first day of class, he found himself assigned to the toughest students   
   in the school. The smart-aleck punks, having already heard the new teacher was   
   a former Marine, were leery of him and he knew they would be testing his   
   discipline in the classroom. Walking confidently into the rowdy classroom, the   
   new teacher opened the window wide and sat down at his desk. When a strong   
   breeze made his tie flap, he picked up a stapler and stapled the tie to his   
   chest.   
       
   Dead silence...   
       
   The rest of the year went very smoothly.   
       
       
   Regards,
