King Morty's Rulebook
Mortimer "King Morty" (born 1923/24) was the first King of Third Street School. He used to rule in the year 1935. His rule book was found by Jordan and Jerome in the episode "The Rules". King Bob, when informed about it, imposed it. The kids were excited at first, but later realized that the rules just didn't make any sense for the era that they were currently living in.
Later on, while studying in greater detail, the students realized that King Morty must have written the rules during the height of the Great Depression, when the school wouldn't have been able to afford certain types of toys and playground equipment for the students. To remedy this, King Morty had come up with rules that would help children (at the time) be able to have fun with what they had, even if they were not "traditional"/"conventional" playthings. For example, King Morty had come up with things such as:
- Play basketball by washing rags.
- Playing foursquare and dodgeball using a large tree stump (which most kids couldn't lift).
- Collecting grass (whoever made the biggest pile was the winner).
- Even swinging a discarded apple.
Assuming that Mortimer was still alive at the time of the events in "The Rules", he would've been somewhere in his mid-70s.
