And...there are 3,000 references to a "clicker," whatever that is.

I DO own a clicker. In fact, 3 of them. They came with the original "home" version of Jeopardy from back in the 1960s (yes, I was a nerd).

No, the clickers were for signals when in a procession, assembly, church, etc. The nuns used erasers the "turn around and shut up" attention-getter.

The best of the "attention-getters" was the ruler on the plams of the hands just as fast as they could swing it.

Went to parochial school, also. Had a male lay teacher who would walk around the class with a golf ball. You better pay attention or you'd soon have a knot on your head.

Does that mean that when you go off on some long rant that one of us should post "ERASER TIME"?
