Re: The Pen Is Mightier Than The Sword
I was once taken to task by our gym mistress(who just happened to be the wife of Jim Bowen) for not knowing which bit of the court I should have been in. I threw the ball at her stormed off the court and sulkily told her that I preferred Maths with Mr Suthers to games with her. The truth was that I was scared witless of Milton Suthers and I was to maths what Arthur Scargill is to,opera singing.
Anyway she marched me to his classroom and told him that from now on when the rest of my year were doing games. I would present myself to the Maths class.
I think that is called shooting yourself in the foot.
