THE SLIDE

* They tell me that torture has been used at Guantanamo Bay & Abu Ghraib. They were doing water - boarding & things like that. I am just glad they did not use the most cruel torture of all : THE MEDINA SLIDE !!!!
* That slide at Medina School looked like it was 50 feet tall, to a fourth grader anyway .
* The SLIDE TORTURE worked like this ;
1. A couple of boys would run down the victim on the playground & take the poor soul to the bottom of the slide.
2. One would grab his wrists ,the other his ankles , & stretch him out at the bottom of the slide.
3. Then Reba McCoy ,the largest girl in the school would go into action. Reba was so big she could not fit in a desk ,she had to do her work at a table.
4. Reba brought a sheet of wax paper from home to increase her speed. Reba had enough velocity that her pig-tails stood straight out when she was coming down.
5. Then Reba dropped WHOP on the mid-section of the victim.
6. This was devastating .Few could make it back to class under their own power. Most had to be helped to the bus when school ended.
7. Jesse Tuggle wet his britches when Reba WHOPPED on him. I truely believe that Jesse smoked all that dope in high school for medical purposes in hope of recovery.

Even today when I look at that SLIDE I have a Post Traumatic Stress attack .
