I once sent my principal a tounge in cheek E-Mail one Sunday night, calling him out to the monkey bars at 3:00pm sharp on Monday afternoon. We were to settle whether or not I would participate in the implementation of the "No Child Left Behind Act" at our school. 3 Knob creeks on the rocks. I thought it was funny, he did not.
