CARLISLE, Ky. - A Nicholas County High School student was suspended after he was accused of urinating in an ice machine that at least 31 people got ice from before the incident was reported.
Ben Buckler, chief of police for Nicholas County Schools, said another student dared the boy, who told officials he relieved himself in the ice machine in the gymnasium lobby just before physical education class Wednesday.
School law officials say charges will be filed, although officials were still trying to decide Thursday what to charge him with.
He was suspended for 10 days, pending an expulsion hearing.
Other students witnessed the incident, but it wasn't reported to Principal Doug Bechanan until Thursday morning. By the time the machine was taken out of service, some students and staff had taken ice from the machine.
School officials contacted the Department of Public Health in Frankfort.
"They said it was gross and morally wrong but not a health risk," Buckler said.
Health officials said urine is sterile because the body has its own filtering system. If any bacteria did make it through, the ice's temperature would have killed it.
But some students, parents and staff remained worried.
The Nicholas County School Board is picking up doctor bills "to ease the minds" of those who were exposed and want to be checked out anyway.
"Don't eat the yellow snow!!"
We had the last laugh as we all took terms urinating in his shampoo bottle on a weekly basis.
This really sounds more like collegiate-level inebriated stupidity.
That’s what I’ve heard… that pee is sterile unless you have a kidney infection or something.
I even saw a show where they were in Africa and had spitting Cobras. They’d pee in your eyes to wash out the poison.
Meanwhile, a punch to the head usually isn’t a health risk either. Nor are broken ribs, jaw, teeth, etc. Lacerated liver – now that can be trouble. Takes quite a thump though…
That should make everyone that ate the urine feel a lot better.
It happens all the time in Nursing Homes.
For some reason, when an old guy has to pee, he sees a door and things "Pee here".
If you're ever in a home, note the padlocks on the ice machines.
Ditto for the silent witnesses.
..they'll be picking up a lot more when one or more of those parents sue!
Not a good way to endear yourself to your peers.
he's a cold pisser.
Just another one of my 10,000 reasons why I'm glad I didn't live back then.
"Iced tea? I thought you said iced PEE!!"
you know if i did that kind of thing when i was growing up in pennslyvania in the sixties i would have had my butt busted by the high school principal with a wooden paddle and then i would have got a beating from my parents that would have amounted to getting thrashed with a razor strap until my little butt was redder than a beet.
God oh what is the world coming to ?
How ignorant !!!!!!
What a pig !!
When my dad was still alive he used to make the statement if especially my son screwed up big time there would be no statehouse or court in the country that could tell me i could not bust my kid's butt for playing the fool and giving him a damn good whacking within a inch of his life.
I forget the specifics, but I remember my Latin teacher telling the class how the ancient Romans used to collect urine in vats to make ammonia for cleaning their wool togas.
"Several students noted the taste was similar to that of Budweiser."
