PE LessonsFor some they may have been the highlight of the school week, but all we remember is a never-ending series of punishments involving inappropriate nudity and climbing up ropes until you wet yourself.
Tell us about your PE lessons and the psychotics who taught them.

Cross CountryI did well in PE track events, as being long-legged, tall and skinny gave me an advantage at high, long, and triple jump; and also the hurdles. However I never did enjoy the longer running events - how boring to run around and around a track. Then I heard about Cross Country.
I was so looking forward to getting into high school so I could run Cross Country. However, I had no idea how the sport worked. In my mind it was something like an obstacle course - running through the wild woods, leaping over streambeds and fallen logs, scrambling down steep banks, and racing against your opponents side-by-side, trying to beat them to the gaps in the trees and brush. That's why I spent an entire summer running pell-mell through the local woods, for hours at a time.
I was terribly disappointed to find out that the real sport is a jaunty 3-mile trot down some dirt roads, and is essentially a team event due to the scoring regime.
On the plus side, if I'm ever in a group being chased through the forest by a grizzly bear, I'll be the one living to tell the story.
