My high school dean was a gentleman named Mr Bennet. Nice enough guy, but his head was perpetually kinked to one side, like he'd thrown it out in his youth and never fully recovered, and it was spooky because the angle of his head seemed to influence the way he walked so that he never quite moved in a straight line, but always drifted a little like a car with its wheels out of alignment. We called him Mr Bentneck, of course.

I remember from my elementary school library a children's magazine called Highlights for Children that used to feature art submissions from children around the country. There was this one particularly awful yet hilarious drawing in one issue which, years later, I thought of immediately the first time I saw Mr Bennet making his steady, if slightly parabolic, way across the campus quad. . . .

I mean literally from normal to this (and I am not exaggerating): http://www.kinderblick.net/Cartoons/Don_Martin/DonMartinMonaLisa.jpg
