Man now-a-days they'd put you under the jail for something like that. Thats a good one though! Pranks like that today are often looked down on as vandalism and juvenile deliquency. Done just right though... they are still pretty dang funny!

Our senior High school prank was to cut loose a bunch of piglets covered in baby oil during lunch in the cafeteria. We painted little mock football jerseys on them, with our graduation year as the number, and various administrator and teachers last names written on the back! I think we cut 5 or 6 loose and it took them almost all afternoon to catch them all. Our principal (a friend of mine... who I think suspected us, but I'll never admit to it) is a fellow hunter and country boy, and finally wised up and took a blanket and threw it over the last escaped oil slick pig. They ran all over the hallways, knocked stuff over and caused a general disturbance. Lord it was hilarious!

Related funny story: The Principals secretary at my High School had been my next door neighbor my entire life. The principal himself had a son my age who I used to play soccer with, so I'd known him for several years. He himself is a huge turkey and waterfowl hunter (my two specialties). He owns a chain of islands in the Upper James River where hundreds of geese congragate to roost and water. A few times my junior and senior year, when the birds were there and weather was right, his secretary would cover him skipping work, and me skipping school so we could go shoot ducks and geese in the morning and make it back for lunch time. Man you couldn't do that kinda stuff anymore after Columbine happened and everything like that!
