With that thought and REALLY LOUD RIPPING NOISE, Lord Borr PROPELLED himself out of the chair. What Lord Borr did NOT know was that he'd torn a HUGE hole in the backside of his trousers.
Huge. Hole. In. His. Trousers. Huge. Hole. In. His. Underwear.
Lord Borr tapped his cane loudly as he turned his back on the class and approached the chalk board, "I CHOSE this time because IT IS DAY TIME! IF you want to GET anywhere in this world you have to be AWAKE DURING THE DAY. Sleep at NIGHT. Awake during the day," Lord Borr started beating the chalkboard with his cane to make the message sink, "SLEEP AT NIGHT!"
"You can't be awake ALL DAY LONG and ALL NIGHT LONG! You have TO CHOOSE one, or the OTHER! AND CLASS? I'm choosing FOR YOU! I CHOOSE for you to be awake during the day, where you STAND A CHANCE to GET A JOB! ONLY skulking creatures and UP-TO-NO-GOODERS ARE AWAKE ALL NIGHT! ASTRONOMY IS POINTLESS AT NIGHT! POINTLESS! Get a REAL job, I say!!! You may ALL THANK ME ONE DAY!"
Lord Borr felt a draft. "Raiden. Sebastian. Go close the windows, my men. Lock them up tight."
"As for the rest of you --- I want you to STAND UP. AND STRETCH. I want you to stand and STRETCH as HIGH AS YOU CAN. Stand up on the desk even. I know half of you are part monkey. GO ON. GET UP. GO ON! STRETCH UP AS HIGH AS YOU CAN."
Lord Borr started around the room, observing and watching, observing and watching. "HURRY UP WITH THOSE WINDOWS, BOYS!" Really drafty in this old room.
"Um...sir, umnnumnuim...." Positively, absolutely frightened of this mean old person, Clark decided to hold his tongue. But he was Clark, and his tongue would not hold. "Two things." He approached the man silently. "Your pants....are kinda...." Eeeueuewwwwwwww. Yeah, "eeeueuewwwwwww" covered it. But as to not be insubordinate, cos Clark was
never insubordinate, he decided to handle the subject delicately. "Dude, your pants are ripped."
Snortmanlygiggle.
"And two, why are we streching? I mean, streching is for like, stretching class."
Clark was going to be the man's lunch.
