revealing the identity of a clos-
et paster.
Yes, I must confess I am a
paste-aphobic. I realise that
paster’s have rights also and I
have come a long way since
the days of grammar school,
but I still can't help but cringe
at the memory of little Jimmy
Crouch sticking that paste
wand down his gullet.
Poor little Jimmy, he was the
object of the majority of my
harassment. He was the quiet
little kid who didn’t own a Red
Rider BB gun, who never knew
the pleasure of shooting plastic
army men with the Red Rider.
He probably never climbed on
the back of his grandfathers
prise ram and played bronc
buster (but that is a whole
other story.) So he was a likely
target for my dis-affection.

dren for their first few days at
school please take the time to
