After two stories of bad weird teachers at my shool, have a good one
As they are thankfully very much in the majority.

It concerns Mr P, a physics/maths teacher about whom I have posted before on this board. To set the scene, he is Polish, has a goatee beard, long curly hair and wears a monocle. Even outside of school he always wears a cream suit with a large flamboyant bow-tie.

He seldom teaches us much, preferring instead to let us watch videos or regale us with anecdotes. My favourite of these concerns the time when he was at univerisity sharing a flat with, in his words, an absolute tosser. He decided to deal with said tosser as only a physicist knows how.

He waited till tosser was out, and then, ingeniously, gave thousands of those small circles of paper you get from hole punches a static charge with a few friends, and proceeded to blow them under the gap between the door and floor of his flatmate's room.

Because they were charged, they stuck fast to every single one of his possesions exposed to the air, and flatmate returned to a room looking not unlike a winter wonderland. Apparantely they were a devil to get off, which was, ultimately, the idea.

So, Mr P: top bloke.
