Mine was, I tried to swim accross the Ohio River.:cool:
 

I found out the current of the river is about 15 miles per hour and when I did get back to land I was about a long city block from where I dove in. Madison area during Regatta Boat Races.
 
We were having a geography lesson. Mr Cass was [as usual] holding forth. I was [quietly] whispering to Alan Rayner,who was right beside me.
We were actually talking about the subject of the lesson-namely,the Gotthard tunnel through the Alpine Mountain range,which is 10.5 miles long.
Suddenly,a blackboard rubber-one of those wooden ones-bounced off my forehead,with some force!
Mr Cass was annoyed at me for 'talking during the lesson' and let it show. He was famed for his often quite violent actions toward pupils.

...when he turned back to the blackboard,upon which photos of the Gotthard Tunnel were being projected....that same wooden blackboard rubber bounced right off HIS head!

Yeah - he didn't expect THAT! [I was caned in front of the school-six whacks on each hand...worth ​every whack,as I'd become WORLD FAMOUS in that school!]

I could see that happening, good for you..my teacher would take her hand and squeeze my cheeks together.. When she announced she would not return the next year, every kids in the class applauded. I can still remember the lookon her face.

The teller of tall tales, strikes again!
 
There was a washed out gully under the railroad tracks near where we lived and I laid down in the wash and let the train run over the top. You could feel the bouncing rails barely touching you. Looking back, I suppose that would be considered crazy.
