Not quite bat and ball
Whilst I viewed the majority of my secondary schooling like the only job I could get when I was skint (hated it, but did well because I needed to), there was one particular moment that sticks out as funny/enjoyable (I'll have to decide which is more appropriate).
One of the sports we played during PE was softball; the weird bastard child of baseball and rounders that involves a fairly sizeable bat. We had a rotation of teachers handling the less demanding sports (never worked out if this was a slack off, or a punishment), and on the event in question we had the inimitable Mr.Rodgers, a real twat of a science teacher, who nobody liked, even some of his colleagues.
Anyway, it was my turn to bat and after sending the ball off on a good trajectory, I released the bat on the back swing, preparing to run. What I hadn't counted on was Mr.Rodgers proximity to me when I was swinging, and I sent the bat straight at his ankles, managing to hit both of them with a nice thick wallop.
I'd ran about six feet before I realised that something was wrong, and I turned round to see a grown man on the floor clutching both ankles, quietly sobbing. At this point I got an instant hit of guilt, then humour and then, remembering the twat level of this man, pride.
He did eventually get up, nothing was said and I received no punishment, however I did appear to trigger some kind of trend. As, a subsequent two times, Mr. Rodgers managed to get hit in the ankles, by different people on different occasions.
Some people, they never learn.
