School Days
"The best years of our lives," somebody lied. Tell us the funniest thing that ever happened at school.

Music college
I went to one of the most prestigious, exclusive conservatoires in the world, but it was notoriously badly run. The admin department was shocking, and crucially, communication between different departments left a lot to be desired.
This college ran a world-famous opera course. This course has produced some of the world's best singers, and has a reputation for really preparing students for the realities of life as an opera singer. One of those realities is that opera producers these days LOVE sex. Everybody is sexing up their opera productions with as much nudity and humping as possible, and so opera singers have to be able and willing to pimp themselves out on stage. So, as part of their acting training, these wannabe Pavarottis had a weekly class in learning to shed their inhibitions. They would start off small, humping chairs and tables, progressing to humping one another.
The college also had a pretty good string department, which would have an open day in the autumn - lots of bright-eyed sixth formers and their parents, who would be taken on a guided tour of the place.
Nobody had thought to tell the opera department that the string department was having an open day. And nobody had thought to tell the string department that the opera department was holding one of its 'lose your inhibitions' sessions in one of the big rehearsal rooms.
Picture the scene: Several dozen 16-18-year-olds and their parents, staring open-mouthed at several dozen obese opera singers noisily humping chairs.
