This is a question Awesome teachers

Teachers have been getting a right kicking recently and it's not fair. So, let's hear it for the teachers who've inspired you, made you laugh, or helped you to make massive explosions in the chemistry lab. (Thanks to Godwin's Lawyer for the suggestion)

Mr Williams the Australian metalwork teacher
Two anecdotes to give you the measure of the man.

1. One of the kids brought a hefty WWII ammunition round (possibly from a big machine gun) into school. Mr W immediately takes it, clamps it in a vice and starts hitting the back with a hammer and centre punch, exclaiming gleefully, "This oughta set it off!". Fortunately it was a dud.

2. This was the mid-80s and everyone was worried about the threat of The Bomb. During a class question-and-answer session, Mr W is asked, "Sir, what would you do if there was a nuclear war?".

Without hesitation, Mr W replies, "I'd put my head between my legs and kiss my arse goodbye."

I don't think he gave a Castlemaine XXXX about school inspectors or anything.
