The funniest thing is how he snapped to. Took off his hat and stood at attention. My father-in-law is a former teacher and head master. He has taught thousands upon thousands of students in his neighborhood and I remember when we were out for ice cream one day and a former student sees my wife. He's saying hello and then my mother-in-law comes in and he says hello to her then my father-in-law walks in and puts his arm around his shoulder. The student looks over and sees who it is and IMMEDIATELY he straightens up like someone shocked him with an electric prod.

It was "Yes, sir. No, sir." His entire demeanor and tone of speaking changed to a much more formal one. It was quite funny. My wife told me that her Dad was super strict with students and their education but would also co-ordinate things like dancing exhibitions and such (small school overseas mind you) so kids could have fun. Just kind of funny to see that same respect in this video.
