OT: on pranks and getting kicked out of college..... story goes that young Wm. Randolph Hearst got himself kicked out of Harvard after he sent his Professors personalized chamber pots (in the days when people did take dumps in little pots) with the Profs’ names engraved inside on the bottom...... that bit of humor was not appreciated by the Harvard faculty.
In 1820s Missouri, chamber pots were often called “thunder mugs.”
