Do or did nuns actually smack with rulers? That seems to be the Standard Catholic Nun behavior in tv comedies.

At my school they were sicker than that. They made you smack yourself across the knuckles with the ruler. As you are hitting yourself the nun tells you "Harder. Harder. More." etc..
I refused to do it. It was just too pervy. It was better to let them call my house and have my father kick my ass when he got home from work. At least I wasn't beating myself up. When I got to 8th grade the nun who was home room teacher just laughed when I clowned around. She was cool.

I don't think I've ever seen a live nun. :huh:

Nope. In highschool they had Brothers to smack you around. I was informed by my older brother who attended a Catholic highschool that they were skilled at giving you a short punch in the ribs in the corridor while shielding it from view. I was signed up to attend the same school. Fortunately for me we moved to the burbs and I switched to regular public school. No uniforms. The desks weren't bolted down. No corporal punishment. Nirvana. :)

I had forgotten uniforms. Public school detention, suspension and expulsion are worse. Of course by 9th most have matured? ;D

Hey! My hat happens to be professionally made from high-grade foil.
I'm considering upgrading to a copper-infused version with a Jolly Roger on the front.
Interesting to see how many people here got beat as kids.
