    chart hanging on the wall like a Razorback football field, just
    maybe their town would not be minus a few kids and a teacher due
    to the hands of those lovely little students who could've made a
    touchdown when they moved their cute little football 10 yards.
    And if those sweet little darlings decided to shoot and kill their
    peers, their football had to move back 10 yards. Oh, I'm sure
    that positive incentive football field hanging on the wall is
    definitely the answer. ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FREAKING MIND?
