lol, I wonder what the damage assessment was after that science project!

Two older guys (ended up expelled for other things) played the best one. Was while I was at the school, but I didn’t see it. Before class and before the teacher came in the one kid was hanging out the window with the other kid’s cowboy boots in his hands. Just the boots were visible, and he was “struggling” with them. The other kid was down in the courtyard and yelling “don’t let me go”, etc. As soon as the teacher came in, the kid in the class held on until the teacher got a look, then in a hurry dropped the boots and slammed the window shut like nothing was going on. Of course the teacher rushed to the window, only to see the other kid sprawled out on the lawn three stories below

I'm laughing so hard I could cry. What a great prank! Wish I had thought of that one!

Merely a caver emptying his carbide light residue in the toilet. Innocent accident

The worst we did was back in junior high school when we got back at our math teacher, who was a mean, tough-as-nails taskmaster that no one liked.

Before she came into class one day, we took a firecracker with a string on each end that exploded when you pulled it apart and tied one end to her chair leg and one to her desk leg. She came in about ten minutes later, and when she pulled her chair out, that thing exploded and I swear she levitated about a foot off the floor.

None of us involved would talk for fear of death, so she kept the entire class after school for one hour as punishment.

I had heard that a stern letter listing the total damages had been sent to a select group of parents.
I do not recall any numbers but I do recall the washrooms being out of service in that wing. Also seeing them cart off a large pile of cast iron pipe.

A couple of McDonalds I’ve been in look like a bomb has already gone off.

Ah, yes. Water does interesting things to calcium carbide and metallic sodium. ;-)
