I recall while in infant school, messing around in the sandpit which was basically a table with a recess and then grabbing what I thought was one of the toys buried at the bottom only to find it was the plug that held the sand in.The teacher came over,looked at me red-faced with half the sand at my feet.
In secondary school one morning there was about twenty of us playing rounders(softball) with a two-foot solid wood baseball bat and tennis ball.One kid whacked the ball,ran and dropped the bat.The next kid picked up the bat,went to hit the ball and the bat slipped from his fingers,spun behind his head,smacked one boy full in the face(he went out cold).The bat continued it's course,spun over that kid's head and knocked the next boys two front teeth out who was waiting to bat.
Oh what memories.
