Any of you heard of this? It is a legend from obscure yet contemporary Church history. In a certain teacher's quorum, a 14 year old is left to instruct his fellow Teachers one Sunday as his quorum advisor is out of town. There is no adult supervision mind you. As he gives the lesson, several boys (one of the whom we will call "Abe",) make wise cracks and have a good laugh at the expense of their flustered fellow Teacher. At the conclsion of the lesson, the frustrated Teacher asks "Abe" to give the closing prayer. The prayer "Abe" gives exudes the same irreverent nature that was displayed during the lesson, sarcastically thanking Heavenly Father for "...this most wonderful and inspiring (snicker) lesson we have had..."
Suddenly, while all eyes are closed in prayer, the insulted teacher takes his loaded scripture case by the leather handle and swings the heavy load full throttle into "Abe"'s unsuspecting crotch. "Abe" crumples into a heap of agony, yet has the goodness in him to finish the prayer with a rapid and gargled "inthenameofJesusChristamen!". The quorum exits the classroom, indifferently stepping over his twisted and writhing body lying on the floor. Vengence was swiftly repaid.
Great story, don't you think? Have you ever heard anything similar, or is this an isolated legend?
If abe is in priesthood class, "who is watching hell?"

Sounds like an afternoon at Scout camp before the Bishop gets up there... or after several days of a couple of the boys getting on each other's nerves for several days...
Possible untold aftermath of the story... 14 year old Teacher who gave the lesson and snickering peanut gallery boy in the quorum giving the closing prayer went on to become best of friends...
