Expelled from Springfield Elementary, Bart attends St. Jerome's Catholic School, where his new teacher is a nun, Sister Thomasina.
Sister Thomasina: In the old days, we’d use a ruler to deal with incorrigbles like you.
Bart: Thanks for the history lesson, sis.
Sister Thomasina: These days, we use a yardstick!
[She swats him and his desk with the yardstick. Bart yelps.]
Bart: I’ll show you! I’ll move 33 inches away.
[He walks his desk backward.]
Sister Thomasina: A yard’s 36!
[She swats him and his desk again. Bart yelps.]
Bart moans: *Now* you tell me.
