The Weird Kid In ClassThere was a kid in my class who stood up every day and told everyone he had new shoes. This went on for weeks, and we all thought him nuts. Then, one day, he stood up and told us a long story about why his family were moving to another part of the country, and how excited he was. The next thing we heard was that he'd died in a plane crash.
Let's hear about the weird kid in your class...

manly girlyMy friends younger brother told me this one...
Apparently some kid in their class was blessed with a somewhat effeminate personality. Being at an all boys grammar school he was immediately named "girly girly" and was reminded of the fact very often indeed. He took great affront to this name and would throw tantrums everytime it was used, which of course meant that it was used with increased frequency. It was considered a particular skill to be able to push him to the point of frothing at the mouth without actually pushing him over the edge into a full blown hysterical outburst.
It came to a head one day when when in an english class the name calling drove him over the edge and he freaked out to the point of chair throwing and screaming, the works. The headmaster was called and the name calling exposed. Parents were called and a severe bollocking was obviously on the cards. So the entire year was called to assebmly where the headmaster made it crystal clear that if anyone were to taunt the boy with the name "girly girly" again they would be punished in the most severe way possible.
And so in true british schoolboy spirit he was immediately re-dubbed "manly manly". And that remained his name till the day he left school.
