If you're talking about Catholic school, they've probably already floated by. Maybe you were distracted and didn't get the pleasure of witnessing it.

Well, actually a couple that I did know "floated" by. During the early 1980's I found the obituary for the Sister Superior of my school in the local paper. I don't know what her problem was, but she systematically insulted every student she spoke to. I showed it to a friend and we were both so elated that we danced a jig around his apartment. About 15 years ago I spotted the obituary of the nun who taught history when I was a senior in high school. She was a humorless bitch and had the disagreeable habit of jabbing a finger (hard) into students whenever she asked a question. She was only in her early 60's when she died, which sweetened the news for me.
Yeah, I endured a few nasty Catholic nuns in grades K - 12. Sister Mary Eugenia was a particularly bad one. I've no idea what happened to her. Ironically, my favorite teacher was Sister Rosemary, my 9th grade math teacher. She loved math and was the only teacher who never acted like girls aren't good at or should avoid math. Not sure what happened to her either though.

There is in the universe only one true divide, one real binary, life and death. Either you are living or you are not. Everything else is molten, malleable.
