Thread Name: BS: School Pranks?
Subject: RE: BS: School Pranks?
In Junior High School (nowadays known as middle School)we always complained that the facilities in some of the bathrooms didn't work properly. Nothing seemed to be done and after several weeks of frustration at having only two operating restroom in a two story building which normaly had eight restrooms it was decided that action was necessary. You have no idea what damage four M-80s (each equivalent to 1/4 stick of dynamite) flushed from the upstairs commodes can do. I had no idea....anyhow, it did get the desired results...a repair crew was on scene within the hour and from then on all systems worked well. It took them about a week and a half to replace some of the pipes but well worth the effort!

As for hiding classes...I do seem to recall one incident where an enterprising student went from room to room during lunch one day writing various directions on blackboards. Things such as...meet in room 101 after lunch...meet on the volleyball court...etc. The end result was about ten classes wandering around trying to find their assigned locations...pure bedlam!!! But such fun!
