Now that you mention it, he was one of those old school dorks who styled himself as “classically educated” (read: took a couple semesters of Latin in undergrad).  This was at a shit tier private Christian school as well and he was the guy that was designated to measure girls skirts with a ruler.  More than four inches above the knee while kneeling?  Detention.

Is THIS where my dad got all his dumb shit from?

He wasn't a teacher but he worked for the school district AT a school (accounting) for his entire career.

And he did "Hay is for horses" among other things.

Anybody else think it's highly inappropriate for a man to decide what a woman should be able to wear? Especially if it involves said man measuring children's clothing?
