Since we're here yearning for our HS days: What was the funniest thing you did/saw/heard in school?
For me, it was "The Bat Incident." At one of the two WO-S campuses, there was a bat problem in the gym. It was an old school, and they had apparently been roosting in the loft above the stage (which was in the gym) for decades. Every so often, they would decide to take part in gym class. One day, a bat swooped down as the class was playing volleyball. A student with good aim and a lot of b*lls waited until it swooped toward him. He got directly in its path and hurled a volleyball at it like a 90 mph fastball. Bam! Dead bat. So one of the twisted kids in class decides it would be really funny to put it in his pocket and spring it on somebody later in the day. He goes to his next class — biology — takes off his jacket and goes on about his business. Apparently, though, the bat wasn't dead. It was just knocked out. During bio, it woke up and, I guess, decided to make a home in the jacket. It chewed through the pocket lining of the cheap jacket and crawled into the lining. When class ended and the kid put the jacket back on, it really ticked off the bat, which commenced to flapping around and freaking out inside the jacket — while the kid was wearing it. He, in turn, did some shrieking and flailing of his own.
Come on, folks. Share your stories!
