Virginia teacher channels his inner Yosemite Sam.

Manuael Ernest Dillow likes to keep the classroom environment exciting. So the teacher at an Abingdon, VA, vocational school lined up students from his shop class and thought it would be a good idea to pull the trigger of a blank-firing handgun a number of times, firing-squad style, at them.

Because if you can't pretend to do a little Gestapo-like mass-murdering among friends, when can you?

Not surprisingly, Dillow won't be teaching any more shop classes at the school. He was arrested.
