funniest high school running gags

[ArchmageKyros]

i wanna know, what did you guys do over and over in high school (or if you're younger, middle school or whatever) that always made you and your friends laugh.

my story is based at South Eugene High School. me and my friends tend to sit in this little area where no one tends to go, and there happens to me a manhole nearby. it's soldered down, but there are 4 holes in it, y'know...anyway, somehow we discovered that you could fit things down the holes, and there's a deep enough drop that nothing ever comes back. long story short, there is currently 2 years worth of food and garbage in the school basement. in fact, here's a link to a picture: http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/1...8061142ch2.jpg

so guys and gals, i know you all can top this, hit me up with something awesome?

High school IS a running gag.

At my high school, during the fall and spring months they would have the courtyard open before school so people could hang out outside while dreading their first class.

On any given day we had the following (please pardon the stereotypes, but its true):
Skater and grunge kids playing hacky sack
Mexicans playing spades at a table in the corner
Three black guys playing rap, and the rest of the courtyard forced to listen
A group of goth kids moping in a dark corner
Jocks sitting in the middle with their cheerleader girlfriends, talking about the upcoming weekend

Seeing as how we were all too young to smoke cigarettes (and that it was against the rules), someone came up with a plan for how to smoke in the courtyard without getting caught.

They would take an empty soda can and poke a hole in the bottom. Then, they would light a cigarette and push it up through the hole, holding it in with their fingers at the bottom. To the casual observer, it would look like you were holding a can of Pepsi. But when they put the can to their lips, they would get a taste of wonderful Marlboro goodness.

I guess that isn't much of a running gag or anything, but this is pretty much how things were for my 4 years of high school. Pretty lame, huh?

Devilon that is genius. Post a picture of this invention.

Haha, well, back in the day, me and my friends liked to find an outsider, someone who didn't quite fit in, and gradually get them to circulate among us until a trust had been established. They were always grateful because it was so unusual for them to have anyone to talk to. Then we would lead them to the wooded area on campus where we'd gut them like a fucking fish and laugh, laugh, laugh.

Those were the days.

Here I thought I was the only one that did this!

Best ending ever.

This is actually an age-old thing you would do with joints at concerts. I think you can see some people doing it on a Grateful Dead DVD I have, actually.

Similarly, I had a buddy who would always show up to local concerts with a big ass paper cup of Coke (like you get at a movie theater) with a lid and a straw. If anyone wanted a sip, they drank from the straw and tasted Coke. But the straw actually led to a small cup inside of the big cup that he was holding, which was filled with liquor (usually vodka). So he would pop the lid off and take a swig, and get the vodka. No one ever knew he was doing it. He never got caught. Hell, he probably still does it at concerts at his college...

I didn't think senior pranks counted.

For Senior prank friends and I were going to buy a shit load of crickets and just empty them into the school over night. The next day there would be multiples and multiples, the school would have been closed for some days until everything has been extinguished.

Although we didn't do it, I hope some of you try it. Also when crickets get picked up, they crap out some goo that sticks to people hands.

At one point, there was talk of making a giant "Prime for President" banner for when school elections came around, just because every damn time they arrived, all the presidential candidates blew, and I kept writing in "Optimus Prime" as my own response. (One year Soundwave was given my vote for treasurer, too, but that's a different story.)

This plan was canceled when we discovered how much it would have cost to print said banner. Yikes.

I wanted to have the huge black-and-white picture of me on a poster and hang it on the front of the building, but goodness, $168?
