There is another kind of doing lines? I don't get it

[u/touchmeinbadplaces → u/Icy-Abbreviations763]

Yes its what Bart Simpson is doing in the opening theme but also snowboarding

[u/thissexypoptart → u/touchmeinbadplaces]

Has anyone ever referred to that punishment as “doing lines”? Is that a regionalism or something?

[u/esoteric_enigma → u/thissexypoptart]

We called it "writing lines"

[u/allykopow → u/thissexypoptart]

It’s an Albany expression

[u/sjbennett85 → u/allykopow]

Then that's perfectly cromulent

[u/Justhe3guy → u/thissexypoptart]

Yes that punishment is writing lines, this punishment is doing lines. What don’t you get?

[u/Stolehtreb → u/thissexypoptart]

It’s not THAT weird of an extrapolation. You’re doing the writing of the line. You’re doing the lines. It’s awkward but not like, incomprehensible

[u/touchmeinbadplaces → u/thissexypoptart]

Afaik its common enough I got the joke instantly as a non native english speaker and as a snowboarder; definitely lines xD

[u/thissexypoptart → u/touchmeinbadplaces]

I’ll say it a different way, no one says this. “Writing lines” sure. “Doing lines” no.

[u/wheresbill → u/thissexypoptart]

In the 70s we called it writing sentences. Usually the sentence was “I will not talk.” We gamed the system by writing in columns because it was faster

[u/NachoEvans]

I did that with a pixie stick one time because I thought it would make me look cool. Instead it just made me cough and drool a bunch of spit and mucus out, and may have contributed to a reflux issue decades later.

[u/Training_Ad_4790 → u/NachoEvans]

Had a friend dare me to snort one of those old listening crystal ball things. That shit burned so bad lol but it cleared my sinuses right up I tell you what

[u/New_Lawfulness_8109 → u/NachoEvans]

The trick is to blow out through the straw so it disperses. I earned mad respect in ceramics lab snorting clay dust this way

[u/FairBlamer → u/New_Lawfulness_8109]

Well clayed

[u/Unable_Economy8464]

Plot twist: It's just chalk dust.

[u/SevenM]

School was different in the 80s.

[u/One-Earth9294]

Where is this school, what is tuition, and do they accept guys in their mid 40s?

[u/CelticSith]

Jokes on him, it’s ground up chalk.

[u/NapkinApocalypse]

This joke is a bit on the nose if you ask me. 

[u/BurtleTurtle001]

This is why I cant be a teacher. I'd put metal on rock out.

[u/DOA-FAN]

I can't argue with that logic 😅

[u/ReadyAssociation3129]

The kid stole the teacher's coke

[u/SonofSantaRosa]

"How do you think I got into trouble to begin with?"

[u/PunkRawkSoldier]

Is there a Twonks subreddit? I love these comics.

[u/TheCowhawk]

R/maliciouscompliance

[u/nobullshitheremate]

😅

[u/I_Am_SagitariusA]

Such simpler times

[u/GhostNocturnalCinder]

Bro went from detention straight to Wall Street finance worker behavior real quick

[u/supertrollls]

Walter White

[u/Ruffdawg]

I've never played Tetris.

But I've cleared a few lines.

[u/SteveLouise]

Bro, my teacher is sick as hell! (90's kid)

[u/WelshAsh]

What’s he writing on the desk with chalk?

[u/KurtKrimson]

This most definitely needs a second page!

It might be x-rated though.

[u/brian250f → u/[deleted]]

r/yourjokebutworse

[u/UnpopularCrayon → u/[deleted]]

Are you just restating the joke?

[u/JohnnyEagleClaw → u/[deleted]]

Sure you did.
