Gas Bag
We had a old lady teacher at senior school( she seemed to be about 103 when we were there, she must be well gone by now ) Mrs. G___ who's nick name was Gasbag. When I started the school I asked another kid who had been there a year or two "Well why do they call her gas bag?" He laughed and said "Oh you obviously never had her for a lesson" Which I must admit I had not, he did not tell me so I was still none the wiser. Then a friend of mine in another class found out why she got that curious epithet the hard way. His class were having a lesson with her, she had set them some work to do then proceeded to plod up and down between the rows of desks (as they do) As she passed my mate , who had is head down pretending to look very busy she let out an enormous fart! PARP! My mate looked up in astonishment and of course began to giggle ( as did most of the other kids who were in the firing line . She glared at him and then boomed in her infamous foghorn voice "YOU BOY, WHAT'S SO FUNNY? " " Er nuffin Miss... pfft....nuffin" . "WELL STOP LAUGHING AT 'NOTHING' AND GET ON WITH YOUR WORK!" He said half of him was dead scared of her yet the other half of him wanted to crack out laughing.
