This is my fault. Like so many things it started as innocent fun in a thread about something called "softball." The sensitive souls there were disturbed by my query to Coach. Donkey decided to help them by creating a thread.
I take full responsibility for what happens in this thread...and may God have mercy on my soul.

Coach's stories remind me of the America I grew up in: the one in which good people took care of each other rather than relying on the government. I liked that America and I am sure I would like Coach if we ever met.

my grandfather was just like that til the day he died. he was fiscally very conservative and tried to save any penny he could. He tried to fix everything, and was reasonably good at it. Even rebuilt rare alternators and starters for the local garages as one of his side gigs. Always preached to the kids and grandkids to live small and to save save save. preached about needing industrial /manufacturing jobs and unions. working hard. taking evening and weekend side jobs. or helping your friends with projects on the weekends so they wouldn't have to hire professionals. and so they would help you.
then voted Democrats, who wanted to pay for our credit card debt with more credit cards or printed money and unleashed the EPA to destroy every industry.
back to Corch stories though, surely someone has a copy of "In the ditch," possibly my all-time favorite Corch.
I'd say the runner-up is the new kindergarten teacher with the mini skirt. anyone have a copy?

Yes that one was an instant classic....however the echo chamber rant in defense of Cowboy was the top of my list simply because he was drunk and his cap locks button kept sticking....it was the most garbled up mess of sh!t I've ever read but like a good train wreck I just couldn't stop reading....boy I thought he would never come back after the pummeling he got in the responses...

The ditch was as true as any SOS story you have ever read. The mini skirt sounds like a Brad story cause he had the hot teachers at his kid's school as told in the box. The keys that caused me the most problems were the space bar that you had to hit 3 times to work and the gdmmm r quit working on my old chrome book. Cowboy was a good old boy musician from Texas. Dying in the hospital whle posting here it became apparent. But back to the ditch.
I went to Newberry HS. They built a new school after integration around 1970. My locker was just above and beside this girl named Annie Mae Her smile would melt a candy bar. And she always had one for me in the morning when we went to Lockers. Her BF was a BB player on our team for awhile. Cecil. I was scared of girls so it was a wash. But then somethign happened.
We lived up the down the hill from the road that had a ditch going past the cemetary road, One day John G and I were walking or driving up there and a very old car was in the ditch. A very old drunk black man was in the car upset and unable to walk good. Sitting in his own urine. We talked to him and he told us where he lived.
We drove him down to what we called the quarters behind the black AME church just a little south of our house. We walk him into the house and around the corner comes the girl Annie Mae. She thanked us profusesly and walked grandpa back to his room. We never spoke of it. I wont bore you much more with stories but I have two more and we can call it even. One is being written now.

I don't think that is exactly the same flavor.
It was more like: I just to love this little black girl. Saw her father drunk in the ditch and took him home. Breaks over. Time to run. Hoping to bang the kindergarten teacher at the next break.

Im gonna wrap this up now unless I get another one in the next 6 days. This is because an amazing damned thing happened. Yes, I did retire after the school year ended in 2018. My PE teaching was over. I went out on my terms. One reason I smile big and often. Then the planets aligned. The district decided to CLOSE down my old school and a few weeks earlier sent the new PE guy home. Long story,. After a little encourgement from the staff I was given volunteer status and taugh PE last week with six more days still to go. Honestly, I have never had more fun and enjoyed it more than last week. They say you cannot go home again. That is bllshttt. Its like an old major leaguer getting to do old timer games over and over. The kids are GREAT. We are having a blast and doing it my old style way. We (me too) exercise and stretch, we run and then play the games they loved so much during my old days. The feedback Im getting is enough to make my head explode. 1st grade lady said the kids are coming in happy and not fussing and arguing anymore. I look at these younguns and realize kids are still just kids. They all want to be praised and given a chance to show you how good they can do. I guess Im giving as many attaboys as Im getting.
Lucky doesnt come close to how I feel about doing it again. Meeting lots of kids that have parents that went through school there with my oldest son. So they are like family to me.
and I get to take my old school to the finish line. We are having a final memory walk in school next week for all the old staff and alumni to tell the school goodbye Im calling it the crying game.
My last story from the past is the heavy girl that never excelled in PE. Never expected to. One day I took two beach balls and gathered the 5th grade in a circle to play a new dodge ball game I invented. I put two in the circle and the first one to get hit by the other dodge ball was out. You could use your beach ball as protection too. If you threw yours and missed you were SOL:. I kept putting the winners beside me. IT was single elimination the whole time. The heavy gal understood how to be patient and block well. Even the best athletes couldnt do it like her. And you have to remember she was a bigger target. When she beat them ALL the looks on her face and their faces was epic. She beat the BEST athletes in the class and I had really good ones.........that was really part of my strategy for years. Give them as many varied and different things so all of them can find one thing they are good at. Then it was easier to get them to be confident to try all of the other things. And I would praise the hell out of them when they did excel.
I may not know all about geopolitical economics or all the important stuff but I do know younguns. And they are important too. Real important.
