"Oh, go on Miss, oh go on!" "NO!" As on, with the desk lids. Are you ready? Here we go, hold the breath. (holds breath, pretends to lift up desk lid, puts head underneath, pants a bit, takes head out, and slams desk shut) Boom! Don't slam the desk lid down if you slammed you desk lid down and, "Out!

School Prison!" There was a school prison underneath the school hall where they used to string you up from the wall bars. [Holds hands up, as if hanging to the wall by some chains] FWOP! "Miss, I've been up here for 3 weeks! And there's rats... and they're nibblin' my toenails!" So I figured it out, what you had to do was put your thumb 'round the edge of the desk lid, so when it went down, it didn't make any noise at all.
