bad karma
I have a tragic history of pranks going wrong. My first was the time when I positioned a bucket of water above a partially opened door so that it would spill on the teacher as he entered the room. It worked fine in the cartoons but I was surprised when the heavy zinc bucket plummeted on to the cranium of Mr Jones, cracking his skull and rendering him comatose for six weeks. When he woke, he was in a persistent vegetative state. Oops!

The next one I remember was when we decided to humiliate the school bully, Mark Cockles. He said he could 'have' anyone in a fight, and we persuaded him that there was a much harder lad in a lock-up garage near the school. Undaunted, he went into the garage saying he would come out with the other lad unconscious. Unbeknown to him, there was no other 'lad', but a trio of neo-Nazi thugs who were expecting a Jewish liberal to tell them off. Poor Mark was in hospital for three months and had to have his testicles amputated.

Then there was the time we spiked the drinks of 'Christian' Ruth at a school party. She didn't drink at all, but that didn't stop us putting some Windowlene in her lemonade. By 7.30 she was lap dancing and offering to show anyone her 'bush'. I believe she later had sex with a gang of squaddies who were drinking in a nearby pub and and ended up pregnant for her 16th birthday. The church struck her off.

However, the worst example of my trickery was when I asked an older mate to fix a bomb to the bottom of the school bus so that it would explode if it went below 50 mph. It ended up in a canal and everyone on board was killed.

Doh!

Some kids in our school....
...were trying to out-do each other by lobbing bricks over the metalwork wing. Some would clear the entire building landing on the playground on the other side...was quite a distance and well impressive. Mr Oatway wasn't impressed though, especially as one of them twatted him in the skull. He was back in work about 6 months later with a huge scar on the side of his head. He never was the same again.
