    I once saw, on TV, a Brooklyn comedian ask his audience

    “any of you went to a Catholic school?”

    a few hands went up…

    "You remember the names of the nuns?

    Lefty?

    Knuckles?"

    they did.

    IIRC, the sister in the grade-school I was in, broke a boy’s arm, when she flipped his desk on him, for backtalk.

    It was a Catholic school.

    She … hated children?

    Angry, endless anger, in her…

    damned odd way of choosing someone for being a teacher…
