Hams: A Natural Fear As I was browsing FPH today, I suddenly remembered the grotesque Ham planet of a teacher we used to have in elementary school. The worst part is, she wasn't the 200 pound Ham that looked like she had a human hidden underneath the fupa, nor was she the wheelchair-bound, 400 pound ham. This woman had the worst combination of in-between: At 300 pounds, the monstrosity could still waddle around the school, endangering the lives of the elementary school kids. We could hear the thumping of massive footsteps from afar and immediately vacate the vicinity.  Luckily, the plan of escape was simple: Go up a flight of stairs to the next floor. Rumor has it that: For the kids that were too panicked, or too scared to react quickly, would end up dragged into detention hall. Locked in a room with the beast, and never seen again. We planned for our own survival, and some were not so lucky. Her soon-to-be Ham of a daughter would come every Wednesday to visit the classroom. Every year, the girl would grow bigger and bigger, into a spitting image of her mother. We knew the cycle would continue, and we knew that she couldn't be saved. A rush of relief rushed over us as we knew that we would be out of school before 'double trouble,' had came about.  --  TL;DR : It's natural for children to be afraid of Obeasts.  Before the HAES mentality conditioning occurs, kids know by protective instinct, that the best choice they can make is to run as far as they can from them.
