when i was young, we were all bullet-proof...
we lost a few...
sobered some of us up for a while...
schools are doing this triage thing before prom nights...here and in florida...
love it...
told the principal down in florida where i sub that it was one of the better things that i've seen lately...
he said "thank you" and that he'd do it again...
