No Class Act

There’s poorly planned crimes. There’s crimes that don’t go so well. There’s even crimes that wouldn’t work if they were executed by a Rhodes scholar with a psychic mind. Then there’s crimes that simply defy description, which you can probably tell that this is one of them since we’ve just been padding this opener.

LEWISTON, N.Y. (Ananova) — A US schoolteacher has been arrested on suspicion of snorting cocaine in front of the class she was teaching.

Two girls, aged nine and ten, said they saw Joan Donatelli, 59, dipping a pen cap into a plastic bag filled with white powder, then putting it to her nose.

The Ananova report said she later confessed to sniffing cocaine in front of her students. What kind of teacher would do such a thing? I mean, other than Rick James if he became an elementary school teacher.

The school later said Donatelli had been retired and worked at the school as a substitute. So I guess this mean she won’t be able to cover chemistry class next week?

A police sergeant also told Ananova she told police she had been suffering from an addiction, “something she’s been struggling with.” Far be it from us to make fun of some else’s chemical dependencies, but I wonder if she ever ran out of her stash and was tempted to try the blackboard chalk.

    “O.K, class, today we will be…” *Stops, turned around, crouches over, takes huge whiffs out of a pen cap, then turned around with white powder under her nose and an excited look in her eyes.*
    “Piano wire! F*** monkeys! Finger lickin’ good! No man’s land! Ha cha cha! , bark, meow, meow! AREALLOFYOUWRITINGTHISTHEF***DOWN?!”
