History teacher and the prank that never was
So there was this teacher. Nice enough guy, maybe a bit self-consciously 'cool' but generally OK. Anyway one of his habits was that unlike most teachers, he wouldn't sit in a chair behind the desk at the front -- he'd sit cross-legged on the desk instead.

So, rather like an earlier story, one day somebody brought in a screwdriver. Lots of fun unscrewing door handles and such, and then somebody hit on the plan of unscrewing one of the legs on the teacher's desk. Oh, how we chortled at the prospect of seeing him sprawl comically across the floor!

As he walked in, we were uncharacteristically hushed. On the edge of our seats, we watched him cross the short distance between the door and the desk...we held our breath...he paused a moment...and, for the first time ever, sat down behind the desk, on the chair.

We couldn't believe it. It must've been some sort of teacher's sixth sense. He spent the whole lesson behind the desk as we sat desperately hoping that at the very least, it would tip and send his briefcase flying. It didn't. At the end of the lesson he stood up and walked out, none the wiser.

Bastard.
