When Grandpa was young, since he didn’t have cable he had to think of other ways to entertain himself. One of these included:
Taking a cow up to the fourth floor of the school, leaving the administration with no way to get the cow down because cows can’t walk down staircases.
When Grandpa was young, since he didn’t have cable he had to think of other ways to entertain himself. One of these included:
Putting a boy with a shotgun in an empty house. Then telling one of his friends to go out with a girl who supposedly ‘lived’ at the empty house. When the friend wen to pick her up, the “dad” (the friend with the shotgun) would freak out and yell at them and start shooting his gun and the kid who was being pranked would just sprint as fast as he could out of there and just keep running!
When Grandpa was young, since he didn’t have cable he had to think of other ways to entertain himself. One of these included:
Grandpa and his friends would attach a string and wrap it around one of those circular spinning things on a playground and then attach the other side to a truck. First, they would put kids on the spinning playground thing. Then, they would speed the truck away and it would fling all of the kids off.
Grandpa had a 4th grade teacher, Ms. Jones, who would whack kids in the back with a meter stick when they acted out. She hit one boy in the back so hard one day that half of the meter stick broke off and flew through the air. Grandpa caught it in one hand and stood up and said, “Ms. Jones, you’re out!” Which led him to be beaten with the remaining part of the stick.
Grandpa used to have stables outside of his school that would be there for kids to “park” their horses after riding them to school so they could keep them there for the day. It was basically a parking lot for horses!
Grandpa’s Grandpa, George Smith and his friend Stinson knew a man who was molesting two little girls. They asked him to stop and he refused, so one day they put about 30 to 50 bullets in him and killed him. The verdict of the trial was they let them off free because they said that they did a good thing.
