Well … it was a suspendable violation to bring a butter knife in to school when I was in high school, and that was 45 years ago. In today’s zero-tolerance world, yeah, Hizzoner is screwed.
Great catch Dr. Pearl, now go through the other lockers to see how many different drugs you can find. I do love his backpack with the ever present “M” on it- pretty cool!!!
When I was in school (late 40s & 50s), a Cub Scout could wear his jack knife on his belt if he had a Totin’ Chip card. I wore dual six guns with my Lone Ranger costume on Hallowe’en. Once in 5th grade, my brother brought a rifle to school to portray Daniel Boone in play. On the other extreme, in 2001 or so, a kid was suspended and arrested when staff found a kitchen knife in the flatbed of his pickup. It had fallen out of crate when he helped move items from the cafeteria in the old school building into the new school. Still the suspension stood. I don’t know if charges were dropped.
This is how liberty dies. Schools actually used to have real guns and gun classes where they shot those guns. Now a butter knife can be trouble. The issue is with the cowardly liberals that run our schools.
if you look back at the knife from 6days ago and the next day when he had it on his desk it looks different every day. Maybe Teddy Demarco planted this one in his locker.
In all reality , Look Dr Pearl I’m sorry that I forgot my plastic knife from home and took from the cafeteria the knife your holding to spread my peanut butter . Oh my God , Gil this an even greater problem than I thought . Go to the cafeteria right now and confiscate all the knives, get Mopman to help. Yes Dr Pearl , right away .
Okay, so Mayor McCheese gets suspended for….a week? And off the baseball team for the same? Or longer? Of course the team loses all their games with him out because how can you replace someone who has that swinging bunt capability to magically start multi-run rallies? Regardless, second place is now shot. And I hope we see Kenny Rogers get his pink slip, for not reporting a WEAPON in school for about 7 hours.
And speaking of weapons, my secret weapon is the ability to improve Gil Thorp with the prize-winning Mopped Up Thorp! Of course the prizes are all imaginary, but still…

Mike is in trouble for violating the school rule against facial hair, so Dr. Perl shows him how to use a straight razor.

Years ago a young kid got kicked out of school for having a toy soldier that had a gun.

P1, More like a Psychotic Reaction.
P2, It’s the ants swarming around your locker!
P3, Finally, after all these years, we find out how the rumor started that Spicoli pulled a knife on Mr. Hand.

Is that a butter knife?
Mr. Rooney went to Dr. Pearl who went to Gil – because of a butter knife?
You can’t stab somebody with one of those. Your pen is a better weapon.
And maybe his locker door gets stuck.

Crocodile Dundee said it best: That’s not a knife.

Time for Gil to channel his inner Crocodile Dundee and get himself suspended too.

“That’s what this is all about? A table knife in school? What in the world will they ban next?” wonders Gil, as he takes a swig from his hip flask.

P2- That pain in the a&$ GilPa was feeling thanks to Dr. Martha Pearl’s Mary Worth like meddling, shot north to his neck.

So we wasted three weeks of moronic Mayoral behavior to suffer the butter knife reveal? Puh-leeze!

Mike is in big legal trouble now. I hope Gil kept the phone number for Hadley V. Baxendale.

A butter knife? How would they know about that? One of his ‘friends’ ratted him out.

Don’t worry Dr. Pearl. I’m taking Blacksmithing as an elective. That knife was forged in fire for extra credit.

Evidently Big Nate lives in Milford. Dr. Pearl is on the school board in that one today.
