remember when it used to be cherry bombs in the toilets?

A few years ago, when my son was in high school, the vandalism of choice was to super glue your enemy's hall locker shut in just this manner.

Yup.

I remember when someone flushed a seal bomb (a cherry bomb-like device used by lifeguards to scare seals off of beaches) down the toilet in the nurse's office.

It went high-order right next to the principal's private toilet, while he was sitting on it.

Made the toilet into a half-a$$ed bidet :o)

Kids today....amatateurs! A good prank does not have to be destructive (although some of those can be fun!). My freshman year in high school, my class made sport out of tormenting our german teacher. I think she even required medication by the end of that year. We just did little things, like lowering her desk one notch every few days. She just couldn't understand why she seemed to be getting bigger!
When the musical greeting cards came out in the 1980's, we made good use of them. I cut one open, took out the tiny music circuit, and hid it in the ceiling air intake. She said "Whoever has the music maker, turn it off." We all just looked at her deadpan and said "What music?" She went to get another teacher but while she was gone we turned it off. They both left and when she came back in alone, it was playing again. SHe went through the entire period with "happy birthday" echoing around the room.

Kids today kind of disappoint me.

This is a hoot! I gave up trying to blow up the toilets, however I did have access to M-80's. My friend's dad(who was a teacher at the time, ended up as principal at a local hs years later)showed me how to make a delayed fuse from a cigarette. I'd go into the bathroom in hs and light up a smoke, then poke a hole somewhere in the middle of the cigarette and insert the fuse. Wash my hands and casually walk away. Sit in class and try not to smile as the noise from the explosion rocketed down the hall :) Ahhh, memories...
