A North American teacher I met on holiday had been accused by a pupil's mother of attempting to strangle her 'little angel'.

At the preliminary investigation, where she accused him of this foul act he asked:

"Would this be the incident when, despite repeated requests NOT to poke scissors into the live power socket, he had done so, and I grabbed him by his hoodie and yanked him away from the potentially lethal electric shock he was about to receive?"

She mumbled that "it might have been."
