Beer Goggles
Third-grade students at Jacobs Road Elementary School in Chesterfield, Va., told school officials their substitute teacher smelled funny.
Sure: don't all students complain about substitutes? But the principal listened to students saying she smelled like beer first thing in the morning on Friday, and went to investigate.
The principal says Sabrina Pado, 50, was "highly intoxicated", removed her from the classroom, and called police. They allegedly found beer in her coffee thermos.
Pado was arrested and charged with two misdemeanors: being drunk in public, and having alcohol on school property.
Frankly, we're surprised that more teachers don't need plenty of booze to deal with the kids.

What's all the brew-ha-ha about? I thought virtually everyone who has to work on Fridays arrives on the job and has a few nips of something to get them through the morning until they can get loosened up at lunchtime. Especially in elementary school teaching situations, when responsible for impressionable youth. When did Congress pass The Volstead Act II for cripe sake?

"...and has a few nips of something to get them through the morning until they can get loosened up at lunchtime."
Especially bus drivers (SCHOOL bus drivers, particularly) and airline pilots just to name a couple. Sure makes ME feel all warm and fuzzy just knowing about that. Oh, and what's a few nips by cops with loaded guns, like the one in Phoenix? Okay, so we're not really sure about the loaded gun (bets, anyone?), but he definitely had a loaded car, or was at least loaded while driving the car.
