Please urinate in the bottle, says teacher

Salisbury, Maryland
Associated Press, December 14, 2006

A teacher who did not have time to escort three students to the restroom is under fire for allegedly telling them to urinate in a soda bottle.

The students did as they were told, said Thomas Field, interim superintendent of Wicomico County schools.

The incident happened Friday at Salisbury Middle School, where restroom vandalism led to a policy that some students had to be escorted to the restroom.

Students said the eighth grade teacher — who was not identified by the school pending a review of the matter — could not find anyone to escort three students and told them to urinate into a soda bottle.

Although the teacher has not been disciplined, Field said the administration's investigation was focused on the behavior of the teacher, not the students.

"In our judgement, now, the students did not do anything to warrant disciplinary action," Field told The Associated Press. "They did what they were told to do. We hold the adult responsible for what happened."

The fate of the teacher has yet to be determined, said Allen Brown, Wicomico County's assistant superintendent for Student Services.

Kidnapper shoots own testicle

A would-be kidnapper shot his own testicle after tucking his gun into the waistband of his trousers.

It happened as three men were attempting to kidnap a teenager in a dispute over stereo speakers in Wichita, Kansas.

One of the three pulled out a gun, fired it at the teen and missed, reports the Wichita Eagle.

The gunman jammed the pistol back into the waistband of his pants - and it went off, hitting him in the left testicle.

The 23-year-old man's reaction to his injury caused the gun to fire again, hitting himself in the left calf.

The man was arrested after he walked into a medical centre seeking help. His companions, ages 18 and 20, were also arrested.

It turns out the car has actually seen more action than any other - largely thanks to the extra space, according to a new survey.

Six per cent said they had damaged their vehicles while getting busy - but only one in 100 of these were bold enough to claim on their insurance.

A yesinsurance.co.uk spokesman said: "It would seem that space is the most important issue for couples who want to enjoy themselves."
