There's something in that. School has the potential to making almost
anything dull. I was going to class one morning and a group of juniors were
waiting outside the neighbouring room. Then there was announcement that they
had to go somewhere else as nurse so-and-so was going to talk to them. "Not
sex _again_!" they moaned.
