In 4th grade we had a teacher named Brent Wiener(pronounced weener). Not to bad, but in 4th grade being able to call your teacher bent weener behind his back was the ultimate in humor. ---

Kindergarten teacher: **Armbruster** (easily corrupted into Armbuster) **Mrs. Lion** , 3rd grade teacher, and her aide, **Mrs. Fox**. Really. 5th grade music teacher: **Mr. Baconshone** : Baconbutt or Bacon n’ eggs. 7th grade English teacher: **Mrs. Duda**. A nice lady who did not deserve to be called “Camptown races sing that song Doo-dah, Doo-dah” behind her back. ---

My brother had a teacher in 7th grade named Mr. Dickman. You can guess what he was called. And he really WAS one, to the point where my mom called him that around the house. ---

Junior High School Mrs. Hammer, she was pregnant at the time. It became quite the ritual to raise your hand in class with a question… “Mrs. Hammer, I have a question.” “Yes?” “Yeah, are you going to name your baby ‘Claw’ or ‘Ballpeen’?” ---

Vice Principal named Mr. Gaisior. Very effeminate man, which mutated his name into Gay-for-sure. ---

First and second grade teacher: Mrs. Pickering. Wonderful teacher, I will never forget her. Ninth grade band teacher: Mr. Freek. He was an ass.
