Hmmm, seems to me that Tom Earp titled his post "Just a thought" with a smiling face logo.
Sounds to me like an amusing story not intended to recount a factual happening or serious comment. This seems more like one of those "scenes we'd love to see" that used to appear in MAD Magazine.
In my experience, Marines don't go around slugging professors, no matter how much they might want to, and Cops (like Tom used to be) do arrest people who cold cock assholes, whether or not they happen to want to.
What I find disappointing is the reaction to a STORY which is so obviously intended to be amusing. Those of us who have worn the "green suit" and have had to listen to self-important jerks pontificating from the teacher's platform do find this an amusing story, and we see it as just that - an amusing story. If you do not find it amusing, so be it, but please spare me the puritanical devotion to PC and the literal reading of something simply meant to be a lighthearted tale to share.
In the context in which it was posted it is a "scene I'd love to see".
