School officials say they hope that whoever is responsible for the damage will brag to their friends with word eventually getting to them so they can apprehend the vandals.

School officials say they hope that whoever is responsible for the damage will be too uninterested in their prank to even read the newspaper article about it.

I remember bringing my remote-controlled whoopee cushion to my fifth grade class once. That was about all I did though pranks-wise.

Some girl brought some electronic device to my biology class in HS though and she could turn on and off the tv and stuff. Pretty cool.

[rwfromkansas]

It wasn't a remote control either. It was something else, which is why it was so weird.

[rwfromkansas]

Yep. You aren't the only one though. I am a college freshman myself. I don't have a HS girlfriend though.

[rwfromkansas]

BTW, I also am planning on being a teacher. History is what I plan on teaching.

There's a way to pull the sodium/potassium in water stunt... you douse it in oil. It takes a few seconds to get the oil off so that the water can react with the sodium.

Try it sometime....

as Bob Dylan said:

"The pumps don't work cuz the vandals took the handles!"

Whoa, two Polk Countians in one thread. Good to see I've got a few neighbors on FR. How's it going guys?

On the last day of school for seniors at my high school, a guy ran through the library in a Superman costume with a paper bag over his head, and then jumped onto the circulation desk from a ramp above it (our library was one of those multi-level things with stairs and ramps everywhere). He broke his leg in the process, so he couldn't get away before the librarian pulled the bag off his head.

No one ever could quite figure out what his point was.

What would you guess, $100 per lock to repair? Not an insignificant $12,000.

[Thinkin' Gal]

I just can't figure out why it's marketed as a craft glue and basically kept away from men

LOL

The missionary who baptized me loved to tell stories of his wild youth.

He was in the Army in the Vietnam era, and managed to get his hands on a box of unaccounted-for practice grenades. Now these make a BOOM but they won't kill you if you're not too close to them.

He and his buddy were driving through base housing (!)throwing these things out the window of his wife's new-to-her Volkswagen bug. Not the brightest thing in the world to do, but they were going fast and thought they'd get away with it. Then one with a freshly-pulled pin fell out of his hands and rolled under the seat of his car. He and his buddy looked at each other, realized they didn't have to retrieve it, and jumped out of the car and ran. BOOM!

It did absolutely no good to the upholstery, but, worse, they had closed their doors as they ran from the car. So it also blew out the windshield. All they could do was jump back in and drive it home before the SPs showed up. They'd have probably been better off, he told us, dealing with the SPs than with his wife. That was her First Car.

or soak the tumblers in nail polish remover (acetone) which will disolve the glue

I'm a former one actually. My family still lives there and thankfully, I don't.

My girlfriend was in high school when I was in college too. We've now been married 16 years.

[mylife]

Yikes!! I afraid that if I admitted to any pranks I was involved in as a teen You would still have me in the slammer! Most of this stuff is pretty tame.

[WellsFargo94]

Kids today....amatateurs! A good prank does not have to be destructive...

The music chip is a good one. It's fun, yet not distructive (monetarily at least). Sometimes these teachers just set themselves up to be picked on as they are such easy and enjoyable targets. But lets remember, boys and girls, as long as it's good clean fun,

[Squantos]

LOL.....Heck just the glue stories brought back memories. Just as superglue was invented I was in high school and saw the same thing done to file cabinets, admin doors and classes no body liked.

BTW .... Have ya ever seen a really tall flag pole with about 200 old scrap tires dropped over the top and stacked all the way to the top ?:o) (That was our best "senior" prank)

Stay Safe !

[seams2me]

But I am paying the bill. I'm a taxpayer. I'm still laughing. I guess that makes me a bad person. LOL
