Right. When I was at school..
you kids dont know youre born. Rubbish. "Hilarious hi-jinks" involving ring tones? How unbelieveably fucking irritating kids these days must be. *dad voice on*. When I was at school, our pranks were calculated, devious, ingenious, practised and always, always involved either explosives or acid, and made use of something we'd actually learnt and applied to real life. Albeit, violently. However, it was never malicious and we were wary of the reponse of the adults and I like to think there was some respect on each side.

Honestly, you kids? Rubbish.

(By the way, this is pretty much what my grandad said to me once. Replacing "ringtones" with "catapult").

An old headmaster
told us of a jape he was responsible for when he was at school.

He substituted every single screw in his teacher's blackboard for a matchstick.

Sure enough, as soon as chalk met board, the whole ensemble collapsed, trapping his teacher underneath.

Six stiff strokes of the cane for that one m'boy.

Well
My great grandfather told me to replace 'catapult' with 'Mauser pistol' for *really* serious japes.

Same as my uncle
Substitute "catapault" for "DeHavilland Mosquito". He got into a few japes with some very unhappy Germans.

Yeah, my own great grandad was from Koblenz. My grandfather however was a "Tommy" and fought at the Somme in WW1.

Aha
Well I believe my great grandfather fought at the Somme but it wasn't on Tommy's side unfortunately. He did receive a medal at the Battle of Verdun though I think.

My father
whilst on course for a 1st in Chemical Engineering at Toronto University, decided in his wisdom to activate an 'ornamental' cannon that sat in the university library, and then, with the aid of his pals, fired it, showering the place with burning lavatory paper.

Unfortunately for him, this coincided precisely with the passing funeral procession of a much-loved deceased lecturer.

Cue 'why you shouldn't expel me' debate.


*EDIT* I said 'cue' hahahahahahahahh....oh
