The presidential fitness test is something us kids had to do every year. It was basically doing a bunch of different exercises, and if you did good enough you got a certificate.

Things like sit ups, push ups, chin ups, vertical jump, running a mile, etc. Based on your height and weight there was an expected level you were supposed to achieve.

I believe it. I guess I was hanging out with the metal heads, stoners, and hacky sack kids during gym. That's why I got a D. And not the gym teacher's D... That was reserved for the underage girls that used to play with his leg hair. Right there in the bleachers of a New Hampshire school.

(Actual true story... Girls used to play with his leg hair... This was middle school or 9th grade. Larry A. ...I'm looking at you.)

Knowing my town, I'm surprised that guy stayed athletic director and not a paraplegic. He must have paid someone off. 70k to be a shit-town gym director? Riiiiight........

Where I grew up school was for chumps.

The village makes the villains.
