RE: will you have a little derision on that banana?

What do you mean Scottie? I thought polished apples made better projectiles?
Nothing is more lethal than a well timed compliment. Like hurling potted
plants at florists.

    'Oh, you have him now? God help you. I had him in 3B.
    They used to call him Jimmy the Creeper.'

    'That's a bit hard, isn't it?'

    'No, it's not. All we ever got from him was: ''Clean the board
    for you, sir?'' - ''Help you with the books, sir?'' - ''That was
    really interesting, sir.'' I felt like puking in the end. My wife had
    him in Infants & he was just as bad then. Used to bring her
    the proverbial apple. She had to keep disposing them out
    the car window until one day she was stopped by the cops.'

    'Does his homework, though.'
    
    'Oh God, yes. You'll find him in the library all hours. Him &
    his colour-coded notebooks.'

    'Still. Better than the jokers at the back of the class.'

    'You mean those bright little eyes gazing up at you from the front
    row? It was all I could do sometimes to stop myself smashing him
    in the face.'

    'He seems to have got to you.'

    'What really pissed me off was the way he kept going on about
    my age: ''Someone your age, sir, should take more care. Sir''.
    ''You really are wonderful for your age, sir.'' Always that bloody:
    ''Sir.'' I swear to God I often thought about bringing in the gun.'

    'A sort of Columbine in reverse?'

    'Quite.'
