I learned something today

Last year when I was teaching high school in Virginia one of my young men wore a shirt to school one day that had emblazened across the front in red letters "G UNIT". This was one of my boys that continuely got into fights and couldn't take what he gave.

Well the kids took to making fun of him. They knew he would never be able to beat them up. Hell...this kid was bigger than me and I could have probably taken him if need be.

Well...I asked the kids what "G UNIT" even stood for. Not one of them knew. They decided it ment "Gay UNIT". I told him to stop wearing the shirt because it seem to upset him when the kids made fun of him.

Anyway...all of that is beside the point. I never did find out what G UNIT meant until today. I was listening to my favorite radio program "The Russ Martin Show" on 105.3 The Talk That Rocks. They were talking about last night's music awards on HBO. And they started talking about "G UNIT". Finally after all this time I found out it DID have a meaning!!!

As it turns out "G UNIT" is part of 50 cent's group. Who would have known. It still doesn't mean much to me and it makes me laugh that the kids in Virginia were trying to be so cool and had no idea what they were wearing.

So see...it is true...you learn something every day!!!
