This was always posted in my classroom. Now that I am in TV, it is very true here as well.
I use to teach electric shop. It was a friendly classroom too. You reminded me of something. I glued a big blob of melted solder on one of the lenses of a pair of safety glasses. I mounted the glasses on the safety glass cabinet door.

The sign below the glasses read:

IT COULD HAVE BEEN HIS EYE!


You couldn't look at that combination without laughing.
The kids wore the glasses.
I enjoyed the drama of the sign and making up stories about how the solder jumped up in the air, was heading for the eye and safely landed on the glasses.
