Zero tolerance has come to mean, "Hey we're too lazy and too stupid to apply logic and reason and make sensible judgement calls."  Oh, I forgot, if we do use sound judgement we will tread on somone's race or "rights".  Therefore, everyone must be a criminal psychopath, even the elementary school kids!!!

You got that right!

As an adult, in this day in age, one might conclude one probably shouldn't bring the "Swiss Army" tool to school.  BUT THIS IS A LITTLE KID!

I saw this kid and his parents interviewed and he seemed to so proud of his Swiss Army utensil set.  I'm sure he thought it would be cool to take to school and use it at lunch.  He makes a innocent mistake and the school drags him through hell.

Aren't schools supposed to be all concerned about self-esteem these days?

Only when it fits the "Agenda".

No but I think we need to make it one. 

I hereby proclaim a new entry in Funk and Wag's.  With all credit to PL.

Pegleg's Pisstivity Index.  A logarithmic scale measuring the amount of frustration one feels when confronted with total stupidity.

PPI-1  Mildly annoyed.....amused even
PPI-2  Slightly annoyed.....apt to resort to multi-syllable adjectives
PPI-3  Greatly annoyed....apt to resort to single-syllable adjectives....most with 4 letters
PPI-4  Majorly annoyed....apt to resort to violence against inanimate objects
PPI-5  Beyond annoyed....apt to resort to violence against other people in an attempt to improve the gene pool

I like that, Alf....good stuff.    

I do have to give credit to a long-dead stand-up comedian named Robin Harris for the word 'pisstivity'....he was the guy that talked about "Be-Be's Kids" and was also in the movie "Harlem Nights". It was from a stand-up routine he did back in the 80's.....funny stuff.....very vulgar....but funny.

is it an issue when one is normally sitting around PPI-4  PPI-5  for a base line

Personally,
My base line is PPI-1, because if you don't laugh  you cry (or start taking Tom seriously) and thats been true in both W's and BO's admins. Otherwise, about a two to four is a healthy response.

School Board revisited the punishment and gave him suspension in lieu of reform school, heard it on the radio coming into work this AM.

 You're all too serious, I seldom get above a PPI - 2.
Nothing to stress about, just hang the bastards.

I have a stapler inbedded in the sheet rock above my desk.

Where does that land on the PPI meter?
