Oops...Wrong Hole
"Hey, you got the wrong address, Jack. If you're looking for that weird guy who draws a crowd once a year, he lives three holes down."

Surprise...Surprise...Surprise
Remember the school in Port Washington, Long Island, New York that banned all types of games during recess? That was the school where the wimpy superintendent banned all games involving "hard" balls as well as cartwheels and even all forms of "tag" because she was afraid the kids would hurt themselves and then their parents would sue the school district. Well, surprise surprise. It was a dumb idea for fixing a problem that didn't exist. As a matter of fact, sounds like it may have made things worse.
Seems as though Swanson Primary School in Auckland, New Zealand had some of the same dumb recess rules and got rid of them. These days the kids climb trees, ride skateboards and play soccer. And guess what happened? No one has sued the school district because their kid got a skinned knee having fun. As a matter of fact, according to principal Bruce McLachlan, "The school is actually seeing a drop in bullying, serious injuries and vandalism, while concentration levels in class are increasing".
