This is classic--the return of dodgeball! It reminds me of a day back at Westwood Elementary School when my class had a special recess to play dodgeball. We had a particularly zealous substitute teacher that day, and she gleefully wound up and hurled the ball as hard as she could at one of my classmates and hit him, shall we say...below the waist. I can still hear the WHOOMP of the ball and the collective gasp that followed. He ended up in the nurse's office, our dodgeball games were substantially curtailed from that point on (stupid liability issues), and I'm not sure I ever saw her substitute teach there again...
