This is
Larry Bradford. He is one the funniest
quick witted people I have ever met. He
has done some insane things, but haven't we all? His wild things seem more memorable.
Once he and
I got kicked out of the Strand Theater for life but his mother went to the see
the manager on our behalf and they settled for a good scolding. I forgot what we did at the Strand that
day. So, that is one of his antics that
is not so memorable - if it can't be remembered then it is not memorable is it?
But here is
one I do remember.:
My aunt Opel
Petty worked at a printing company in downtown Atlanta. Next door to the printing company was novelty
company. She once bought me fake
cigarettes there and another time she bought me a poo-poo, or a Whoopie cushion.
I carried it
to school and during phys ed Larry and I
played with it., blowing it up and squeezing it to make loud farting sounds.
Coach Lundy
took it away from us.
Later in the
day Larry and I were called to Mr.
Cox's office. Mr. Cox was the assistant
principal. He had us stand in front of
him and suddenly he pulled out the poo-poo cushion from behind him, it was
inflated. He suddenly squeezed it and it
made the loud farting noise. We broke out
laughing.
Lloyd Cox
looked furious. "What is so funny
about that?" He asked.
I said,
"I don't know but it is!"
He glared at
us and told us to stay in his office the remaining two periods of the day. And he walked out of his office.
When the
last bell sounded for us to return to our home room before leaving for the day
Lloyd Cox still wasn't back.
We were leaving and Bradford said wait. He went over to Lloyd's desk and opened all
the drawers until he found the poo-poo cushion.
He blew it up and placed it into Lloyd's chair and left laughing.
Nothing was
ever said.
Larry now
donates his time to a needy cause on Tuesdays., there he is a volunteer to help
the homeless.
