My dad used to recount the tale of a school medical, that took place somewhere between 1970 and 1975.
It consisted of stripping down to your undies, running around in the gym, and then coughing - while the doctor examined you.
The school nurse was also in attendance. One young lad got a bit over-excited; so the school nurse quickly produced a cold spoon. She then uttered the classic line - "take that away - and go and calm yourself down !".
From that day on, the poor lad was forever known as "Cold Spoon Murphy".
Woof!
