Boy Suspended for Pointing Finger Like Gun

America's kids have been suspended for pretending that pencils were guns, but an Ohio school may have topped that. A 10-year-old student at a Columbus elementary school was handed a three-day suspension for making a finger gun and pretending to shoot a classmate. The suspension letter more formally referred to his weapon as a "level 2 lookalike firearm," reports the Columbus Dispatch. Devonshire Alternative Elementary School's principal says students have been frequently told not to play pretend gun games, with a district rep saying kids were warned consequences would follow.
Those consequences hit hard last week for fifth-grader Nathan Entingh, who says he was "just playing around"; the rep said Nathan pretended to shoot another student "kind of execution style" in the head. And the "victim" didn't even see the mock execution, which was instead spotted by a teacher. Nathan's dad seems dumbfounded: "It would even make more sense maybe if he brought a plastic gun that looked like a real gun or something, but it was his finger." (Almost exactly a year ago, a Georgia teacher was suspended over a finger gun of his own.)

Thanks Guys. Great ideas, all.
I didn’t butter the non-stick pan. (Why should one need to butter a non-stick pan?)

If you have had the non-stick pan very long, and have used it with any regularity, you need to spray that puppy!!
I don’t trust any “non-stick” bakeware. If it were truly “non-stick,” it would be that way for the life of the item. So once something sticks to a “non-stick” item, I grease it every time I use it.

Non-stick pan: Requires buttering to not stick.

The pans are almost new.
Yes, Megafail! To be fair, I made a few mistakes which I will learn from for next time.

Yeesh.
Still, it’s supposed to be “non-stick” for a reason.
“Non-stick, y u no work?”

Mom had a no-stick pan that kinda baked the no-stick right off.
Pan works better cooking eggs with just butter.
