Well, that taught 'emSammi Evil Nice writes "I shared with two students, and it was always the same; whenever it was near to paytime, my milk *and only this* would disappear.
One of them, John, was a lovely bloke but allergic to nuts. John makes tea. Soon after, John starts swelling up.
ME: Runs, administers epi-pen. "You're going into anaphalactic shock."
HIM: "How do you know?"
ME: "I put almond oil in my milk."
What have you done to teach somebody a lesson?

High voltage high jinksSorry another car related one…
Sometime last year I converted my little 205 GTi to run on a silly big engine form a Peugeot 405. Cue much more rapidity and generally annoying all those penarses with great big £40,000 sports cars keeping up with them in a “1.6” French tin shed on wheels. Bwahahahahaha.
Anyway shortly after I sorted it and got it running I was driving back from work and it started playing silly buggers. Quick look round the engine bay revealed nothing, luckily had a multimeter in the car (as all self-respecting old French car owners should of course) so went round checking everything electrical from the diagnostics manual.
About an hour later I couldn’t find the fault and it was still running lumpy. Last resort I thought check the HT leads… So engine running I decided to waggle the HT leads on the distributor. Left hand resting on the car, right hand waggling the HT lead. HT lead comes off, a twuntingly gert big fuck off electrical pulse has only one way to go to earth, via the shortest course of least resistance, namely my right arm, left arm and directly across my chest.
Cue me staggering back rather sharply and feeling a bit light headed and winded for about half an hour.
Kids, don’t play with HT leads when the engine is running, lesson well and truly learned.
