Revenge on His Teacher
Osbourne was a troublemaker since he was a child, and his antics only got more intense as he got older. When he was in school, his metal shop teacher, Mr. Lane, often punished Osbourne by spanking him with a piece of wood. Times were clearly much different back then.

Instead of sitting around and taking the punishment, Osbourne got even. He would take a coin, heat it for a few minutes, and put it into Mr. Lane’s desk. When the teacher would reach into the desk and pick up the coin out of curiosity, he would get burned. Osbourne had a good laugh.
