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.
"Most students thought that it was The New and Improved Coors Light"
I don't doubt it, but this doesn't sound like that.
I know,
I was being funny.
It's Friday, ya know :)
Thanks for reminding me not to get old.
LOL!
But it beats the alternative sugar :)
You ar the second one to say that to me tonight! LOL. It must mean something.
Yeah...
Grow old, love your kids, watch your grandkids grow up....
It's a good thing :)
I don't want any of my daughters to have kids for a long time, but I am looking forward to being a granddaddy!
...and please...Don't mention the War.
"It does have a little wang in it."
Reminds me of the old joke...nurse wants a urine sample...old guy hasn't drunk his apple juice...turns in the juice as the urine sample...nurse looks at it, says, "looks a little cloudy this morning..."
Patient says, "Really? Here, let me run it through again..."
My apologies for being obscure.
The "Don't mention the War" comment is a joke from the English sitcom "Fawlty Towers." In your signature line you have a quote, something along the lines of "My name is Manuel -- I'm from Barcelona."
On Fawlty towers a bellman is named Manuel. His actions are sometimes justified by Basil Fawlty (John Clese) with the explanation, "Don't mind him..He's from Barcelona."
I was connecting your tag line with the TV sitcom...My apologies for being obscure. No attempt at censorship was intended.
Blush, blush, blush :( My bad I should have remembered that line. Would you like that in smartie shapes?
Is this the wonderful "socialization" that government school defenders are always praising?
" 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."
Is is all Bush's fault. He shouldn't have appointed Ron Brown.
My solution would be to have the little dweeb turned over to the high school football team for 2 weeks for QB sacking practice....he would not be given a uniform or pads either..."See the lil dweeb over there? He's Joe Theismann, you're Lawrence Taylor....GET HIM!"
Lawrence, Lawrence of Arabia
He was an English Guy
He came to fight the Turkish...
(Great movie!)
