|
|
Seventeen-year-old Jerry Steiner thought he ought to liven up the
|
|
Friday night pep rally at Bullis Vanderslice Dunston High. What
|
|
he did will live in the memory of everyone there, plus their
|
|
children and grandchildren and their progeny. It was even more
|
|
memorable for Jerry and his sometimes sweetheart Carolee Gordon.
|
|
|
|
Just as the bonfire reached its apex, the lone long-haired
|
|
splinter of a track star silhouetted himself at the corner of the
|
|
track to the right of the bleachers. He was stark naked and
|
|
running a very deliberate, triumphant 440. His slow white Bronco
|
|
flopped in front of him in the breeze.
|
|
|
|
The crowd went wild, and so did Principal Oscar Webster, who
|
|
before the moon rose telephoned Jerry's house and left a tape
|
|
recorded message that he was suspended for at least two week. By
|
|
Monday morning, Webster -- after getting quite a few phone calls
|
|
himself, not the least of which was from a newspaper reporter --
|
|
informed young Mr.Steiner that he was expelled and would have
|
|
spend the rest of his rapturous senior year at a school 20 miles
|
|
across the semi-rural county.
|
|
|
|
Normally a hotbed of social rest, the community stood up for
|
|
Jerry, phoning Mr. Webster incessantly and burning the grapevine
|
|
with the injustice of it all. Here was Jerry Steiner, a popular,
|
|
if not always sensible, student being yanked out of his milieu
|
|
just for a stupid stunt.
|
|
|
|
Among those coming to his defense was Dan Gordon, Carolee's
|
|
father, who in an impromptu sidewalk debate with the principal
|
|
made an impassioned plea for the youngster.
|
|
|
|
"For God's sakes, Oscar. This WAS a stupid thing to do. He told
|
|
you that. He's willing to take a two-week suspension, even though
|
|
it will go on his PERMANENT RECORD. This is not a capital
|
|
offense! Think about what you're doing. He lives alone with his
|
|
dad, who's been out looking for work, and he would either have to
|
|
live with an invalid aunt or be driven 40 miles a day to go to
|
|
school. Do you want him to drop out? This boy has a future."
|
|
|
|
"Maybe he doesn't have a future," answered the angry principal.
|
|
Spray paint and toilet paper were acceptable, although punishable,
|
|
pranks he was used to. "This behavior is outrageous. I know kids
|
|
do stupid things, but lets face it -- "Everybody knows you don't
|
|
take your clothes off in front of everybody. This is not a
|
|
situational ethics thing. This is not subject to differing
|
|
political or religious viewpoints. It was intolerable. And a
|
|
transfer is not a capital penalty either. We do it about 20 times
|
|
a year in this county, and he should have known better before he
|
|
stripped and made a fool out of himself."
|
|
|
|
After the tempers had died down, Oscar Webster approached Dan
|
|
Gordon and explained more calmly: "Now it's in the papers, and
|
|
even if I wanted to cut some slack, we have a school board I
|
|
report to and, even more important, the parents of four girls
|
|
have raised holy hell. So my hands are tied, and even so, I,
|
|
myself, am ready to make an example here. Our kids are out of
|
|
control, and if he stays, he'll be a hero."
|
|
|
|
Hard to argue, thought Dan Gordon. It was a stupid peccadillo.
|
|
|
|
As each day went by, the furor swelled. Students walked out of
|
|
class and picketed on behalf of Jerry. By Thursday, Mr. Webster
|
|
called a meeting with Mr. Gordon -- Jerry and Carolee as
|
|
witnesses -- in his office.
|
|
|
|
"I may have a way out of this," the principal began, addressing
|
|
Mr. Gordon. "You said it was not a capital crime. You're right.
|
|
It isn't. But it sure sounds like a corporal crime. We might work
|
|
ourselves out of this situation but I have to be satisfied."
|
|
|
|
He paused for reaction, but got none. Everyone was confused. Mr.
|
|
Webster continued. "I have to be satisfied, the girls' parents
|
|
have to be satisfied, and I can talk the school board into being
|
|
satisfied -- IF you, Jerry, accept what I propose."
|
|
|
|
Six pairs of eyes searched Mr. Webster's brow line for
|
|
explanation, and Jerry began smirking the smirk of the victor in
|
|
a tough negotiation. But not for long.
|
|
|
|
Mr. Webster pronounced his settlement, and sent young Mr. Steiner
|
|
shooting straight up in his chair. "You will accept corporal
|
|
punishment for your corporal crime. You will be given a whipping
|
|
right here and now, just like the kind we used to get in Kentucky
|
|
when I was a kid. And you will remember it until the yearbook
|
|
with that disgusting photo of you turns to dust."
|
|
|
|
"Gggggullllpppp" was all that emanated from Jerry's throat.
|
|
Carolee gasped. Mr. Gordon pondered. Jerry winced so hard his
|
|
eyeballs turned from brown to blue as Mr. Webster strode to the
|
|
far wall and unhooked from its perch his inch-thick Omicron Tau
|
|
Kappa fraternity paddle from the wall. Jerry's eyes opened up,
|
|
but not before Mr. Webster surreptitiously flipped a hidden
|
|
switch, opening up the school's PA system. Everybody who saw
|
|
Jerry last Friday night would now hear him. And he would not seem
|
|
so heroic.
|
|
|
|
"Mr. Steiner, you will bend over my desk with your trousers at
|
|
your ankles, including your underpants!"
|
|
|
|
"Whaddaya mean!" he protested. "She's here!" he pointed at
|
|
Carolee."
|
|
|
|
Replied a smug Mr. Webster: "You didn't mind running naked in
|
|
front of 1,200 of your fellow students, did you?" There was no
|
|
answer, because, of course, none was expected.
|
|
|
|
"This is different," Jerry started whining."
|
|
|
|
"Not at all," the principal lied respectably. "You're lucky this
|
|
is happening in relative privacy. Carolee, turn your face to the
|
|
wall." The blonde, blue-eyed skinny stick of trouble did so.
|
|
|
|
Jerry, a smart enough kid to know he ought to comply, slowly
|
|
undid his jeans. "You're fancy Calvin Kleins, too," Mr. Webster
|
|
commanded. "DO IT NOW OR YOU WILL NEVER SET FOOT IN THIS SCHOOL
|
|
AGAIN!" Then he teased out loud: "Hmmmm, that sprint was about a
|
|
440. How many, how many?" Jerry nervously cleared his throat, not
|
|
knowing whether to beg or make out a verbal will. "No, young man,
|
|
not 440. I think 20 is more like it -- 20 strokes will be
|
|
sufficient."
|
|
|
|
Jerry was reluctantly bending across the principal's desk (and
|
|
noticing a drawer slightly ajar revealing a photo of the home ec
|
|
teacher in a maid's uniform). Mr. Webster approached from the
|
|
rear and took a step to his left.
|
|
|
|
wwwwwhhhhAAAPPPP. The first one burned and Jerry emitted a sound
|
|
like tape recorded flatulence being played backwards. There was a
|
|
decent pause before the second one landed -- ssssssWWWAAAATTTT!!!
|
|
Jerry's reaction sounded like Donald Duck on Prozac. He was
|
|
determined to take his punishment with dignity and silence.
|
|
SSSSZZZWHHOPPPPP!! The third one hurt even worse, and Jerry
|
|
whispered a yell, "oooooooooh."
|
|
|
|
That was the warmup as far as Oscar Webster was concerned. Now
|
|
the paddling resumed in a more rapid rhythm, and a lot harder.
|
|
TTTHWAACCKKK TTTTHWHHHAPPP TTTTHHHHWWWWIIIIPPPP PPPPOPPPPP.
|
|
|
|
By the seventh stroke, Jerry's Job-like suffering could no longer
|
|
be silent. The naked apple-shaped head of his young manhood, so
|
|
earlier aroused by the sight of Carolee, was now nothing if not
|
|
microsoft. He let out a piercing shriek that opened electric
|
|
gates throughout the mansion-lined neighborhood. After number
|
|
eight, he was blubbering and muttering gibberish. All studying and
|
|
classroom discussion had been at a dead halt for
|
|
five minutes now.
|
|
|
|
"She made me, she made me!" he whimpered.
|
|
|
|
"What do you mean?" Messrs. Webster and Gordon asked in unison.
|
|
"Did not, did not," protested Carolee from the far wall.
|
|
|
|
"She said (WWWHHHAPPP) if I did it," Jerry cried, "OWWWWW!!! She
|
|
said if I did it she'd let met get to third base later on."
|
|
Jerry was turning coat! Mr. Gordon was turning white. Carolee was
|
|
turning crimson.
|
|
|
|
"Is that true, young lady," her father growled. She remained
|
|
tight lipped. "We can arrange a transfer for you, too, Miss
|
|
Gordon," the principal said, adding yet another stinging lick to
|
|
her boyfriend's already laser-hot beam. Carolee nodded just
|
|
slightly enough to reveal the truth to her father.
|
|
|
|
The paddle whipping continued until number 20, by which time
|
|
every other part of young Jerry was limp. The ceremony was over;
|
|
justice had been served. But not quite.
|
|
|
|
Mr. Webster had neglected on purpose to turn off the PA system,
|
|
and everyone from janitor to stultified art teacher was about to
|
|
listen to an extra dollop of walloping.
|
|
|
|
While Jerry slumped mournfully over the desk, Mr. Gordon had
|
|
moved toward the back wall, from which Carolee was heading toward
|
|
the door. As the two passed, Mr. Gordon, without warning, grabbed
|
|
her around the back with his left hand, pulled up her oversize
|
|
Pearl Jam tee-shirt and with his right hand jerked down her
|
|
leggings so hard that her panties tangled inside them and exposed
|
|
her pale never-before-spanked backside.
|
|
|
|
Little Miss Instigator screamed and spluttered as her father
|
|
started spanking her bottom with his hand. She slipped his grasp
|
|
and crumpled to the floor, giving her father just enough time to
|
|
unloosen his belt. He picked her up as she crawled toward the
|
|
massive desk, bent her over next to where Jerry was crying and
|
|
gave her an All-Met strapping.
|
|
|
|
"EEEEIIIII!! Daaaaaddddddy!!!! OWWWWWWW Noooooooo!
|
|
AAAAARGGGGGH!!! Waaaa WAAAAHHHAAAA," Carolee hollered. "I'm
|
|
sorrrrrrrrrry, daaaaaddddddy!!!! How can you DO this?
|
|
AAAAWAAAAHHAA," she sobbed and cried and spit and gurgled. She
|
|
got more than Jerry's 20. The boy was still numb from his own
|
|
ordeal so he couldn't remember that this was a chance to get a
|
|
view of his girlfriend's dark-haired pussy in light of day as she
|
|
tried to tango away from daddy's strap.
|
|
|
|
And it mattered not that he had been brave, for the most part, in
|
|
enduring his punishment. It mattered not that he had agreed to a
|
|
just and lasting solution. For the rest of his life he was to
|
|
emulate Moses, the god of his fathers, because never in his whole
|
|
lifespan would he get to visit her promised land.
