Teaching Moment

A former sergeant, having served his time with the Marine Corps, took a  new job as a school teacher; but 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.  Having already heard the new teacher was a former Marine, his rowdy pupils were curious about  just how tough he really was.
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  promptly stapled the tie to his chest.
Dead silence. He had no trouble with discipline that year.
