If you can't beat 'em...let 'em beat you

I read in the Drudge Report, that a British school has engineered a brilliant new policy to discourage its students from swearing at teachers.

Are you ready for this? Here it is. They will allow the students to use the f-word in class, but only five times per day.

A running tally will be kept on the board of how many times the word (or derivative) has been used. When the class exceeds their allotted five profanities, the teacher will “speak to” them at the end of the class.

The logic is flawless. Obviously, when you tell someone they can’t do something, and they do it anyway, the only effective way to discourage them from doing it is to – allow it! Good plan.

This was clearly thought up by the same geniuses who thought the best way to make abortion “safe and rare” was to make it legal.

In other news, authorities have decided to discourage insurgents from attacking soldiers and innocent civilians, by allowing car/police station bombings, but only five times per day and the insurgents must submit schedules and locations beforehand for approval. If they exceed the five-bomb limit or bomb the wrong orphanage, we’ll give them a stern talking to at the end of the day (see if we don’t!)
