Put 'em up!

Ladies and Gentlemen: welcome to the intense battle known as the last two weeks of school where tension amongst teachers runs high while tempers run short. In this corner you have the fiery Scotsman Mr. Colton, a 50+ year old Algebra teacher known for his red hair and even redder temperament. In the other corner you have his opponent, a 40+ year old Mr. Balker, the World history teacher who’s infamous for bellowing at his classes for the whole hallway to hear. I don’t know folks, it’s pretty much a draw when it comes to height and belly size, but let’s see the battle unfold in the faculty cafeteria.

Mr. Balker: Mmmm, fruit today. Watermelon for only a dollar?! That’s a
pretty good deal. Speaking of fruit, how are you Mike?


Mr. Mike Colton: You better shut your mouth and turn right back around Balker.


Mr. Balker: Geez Mike, having a bad day or something?


Mr. Colton: No but you’re going to.


Mr. Balker: Sorry that I offended you, you know I didn’t mean to.


(Meanwhile, I’m smack dab in the middle, staring intensely at my watermelon.)
