They say idle hands are the Devil’s tools. Just about anybody, bored out of their mind and within reach of a dangling string, will probably tie loops and knots into it.

Someone did that at Thomas Wootton High School in Rockville, MD last week and now the cops have had to stop chasing drug dealers, street gangs and kid touchers to come to the school and investigate an imaginary “hate crime.”

And you know why the kids get bored? I’m not sure, but I think watching the teacher tell the retarded kid for the 14th time how to conjugate a verb might have something to do with it.

When I was in school, people tied the blind cords into nooses and hung “My Little Ponies” and “Care Bears” and no one said boo. Now everyone is too sensitive and thin-skinned.
