The principal screamed in frustration from the floor of the janitor's
closet, his new office. The school couldn't go on much longer with this
evil.
Evil! That was it! He would get the typing teacher to perform a
ritual to get rid of evil spirits. If anyone could do it, the typing
teacher could.
That afternoon during band rehearsal, the principal and the typing
teacher built a small fire outside the band room/ principal's office in the
bell of an extra sousaphone. "Abite, molesti spiriti!*" the typing teacher
yelled. There was a flash of light, then an odd quiet from beyond the door.
The principal cautiously peered inside. The ritual seemed to have
worked. The band director and the entire low brass section were gone. The
woodwinds, high brass, and kazoo section looked around curiously, then
began to sing to the kazoo section leader, who's birthday was that day.
The principal and the typing teacher fled, screaming down the hall.
