<<Worse humiliation known to man...
When I was In 8th grade...>>

At my school it was being hung up on a coat hook by the elastic on the back of your undershorts; skinny legs flailing in the air as passers-by stopped to snicker as if you were a humorous piece of artwork.

Of course, that always seemed to be the precise moment when all the cute girls would walk by; followed closely by Sister Perpetua gripping a thick, wooden ruler!

No one escaped being "snuggied".

........VVVVVVVV ; )
