No. Don’t see how it will fit. But my mustache will be trimmed to pencil thin. If my friends gotta see me dead in a box, I’ll try to give them a bit of a smile to remember me by.

I'm a veteran urban high school teacher. A fellow teacher was repeatedly threatened by a violent student (a psycho white kid, by the way). So my colleague took to carrying a heavy 2-foot solid iron ring stand with him whenever he walled in the hallways. Since he was a science teacher, no one ever questioned him on that.

I'm also a veteran high school teacher. I get threatened by urban high school students all the time. They gonna shoot me, stab me, end me, jump me, etc. My stock answer has always been, "You and whose army gonna do that?" Generally, it's all a bunch of hooey for the benefit of their fellow students in order to show off or gain street cred. My hands are usually too full of stuff to be carrying around a ring stand or anything like that. Let's see what this poor teacher's UNION does about this. Probably nothing, like most of them.

Oh and let’s not forget

“Do you feel me?” a phrase that outrages me meaning do you understand me?

You an Allman brother?

“Do you feel me?”
"Do you dig where I'm coming from?" "Do you smell what I'm cooking?"

That's the undertaker's job. They cut away the back of the hat so it will still look right in the front. Be sure to have a picture taken of you with the exact angle you want and all the correct arrangements for the suit, and make sure your heirs know how you want it all done.

That phrase didn't originate with the above listing from Cab Calloway's slang dictionary which was assembled between the 1930s and the 1950s; it seems to have arisen in the past decade or so.

You know - I need to ask why the Navy- - -

I do know we both worked for Grumman - when it was ‘Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation.’
Grumman made fighter planes - props and jets, for the Navy.
Then the LEM - (Lunar Excursion Model) commonly the Lunar Lander that went to the moon.
Those were exciting days.
