They didn't see it coming...
OK, same school, stuffed with jumped up tyrants of teachers. For one lesson, just before Christmas, me and my classmates were in a classroom right down at one end of the school.

The rules were these - you had to sit quietly and wait, all but for the form captain, who stood at the front and wrote the names of anyone misbehaving on the board. No-one else was allowed to write on the board.

Cue one of the class thickos (spoilt for choice there, I think) deciding to draw a Christmas card on the board for the teacher. So off he went to the board, took the chalk off the form captain, and set to drawing. Several of his thicky friends joined in, and together they produced a total and utter mess. Then, they went from stupidness to utter dumbassery. They signed their names all over it. Me? I was new, small, scrawny and unpopular, so I stayed put.

As they finished, the teacher arrived. He stamped in, and glared at the covered board. "Who is responsible for this?" he shouted. Every eye swivelled to the form captain, standing quietly to one side of the board. He smiled the world's largest grin. This must have been the best moment of his life. "Sir," he said, "you will find their names on the board."

There was one of those moments when you hear people's brains catching on. It was all I could do not to laugh. I think the teacher probably twigged that they'd done this to themselves.

"Well done, boy" he said to the form captain.

They got a boatload of extra work to do over the Christmas holiday. The few of us who'd had more sense than to write on the board got off scot free.

Nice.
