My colleague Greg
can get himself into trouble easily. Decent bloke, and I get on well with him, but he's a vindictive bugger sometimes. Anyway, many moons ago, he was working under a particularly loathsome professor whom we'll call Prof Mannion. Now, said Prof was the sort who looked down on lowly technicians like Greg, and treated them like shit. He was downright nasty to many of his students and staff, who couldn't be arsed with him at all.

Greg didn't take kindly to this, but was sensible enough not to do anything which could get him sacked. But he got off with it once. One day, when one of his colleagues, Leslie, had pissed him off. Leslie was an irritating type, who liked to boss folk around, and Greg had had enough. So when he spotted Leslie going into the toilets for his regular morning shit, he grabbed a bucket from the workshop and filled it with water, then ran back to the bogs to the door of the only occupied cubicle, behind which he knew that Leslie was sitting doing his business.

He chucked the bucket of water over the cubicle door and legged it, giggling to himself, out into the corridor. Where he met a perfectly dry Leslie, who had in fact only been for a quick pee and had since exited the bogs.

Quickly, Greg disposed of the bucket. Just in time, as it happens, as a rather soggy and incredibly irate Prof Mannion emerged from the toilets. Greg pulled off the acting performance of his life in keeping a straight face, and to this day the old Prof never found out who soaked him.

Because, lets face it, had he started to draw up a shortlist of potential candidates, he'd have had the whole department on the list. Miserable git that he was. Greg became something of an underground hero for a while for that one.
