Paging Goat #3 to the Principal's Office please...

[Daughter (imported)]

At a high school in Montana, a group of high schoolers played a prank

On the school. They let three goats loose in the school.

Before they let them go they painted numbers on the sides of the goats --

1,2,4.

Local school administrators spent most of the day looking for #3.

Sounds like the kind of crap I used to pull off in school. Give em kudos. Good one!

OH! OH I sooooo love those kids! They are GENIUSES!

REALLY! We need to FIRE all the "intelligence experts" hanging around the CIA, Pentagon and all that, and HIRE these kids. If these kids had been in charge of developing the strategies to destroy Al Qaieda, Usama Bin Ladin would at this very moment be doing a world tour for "Love the U.S.A."

These children are GENIUSES! Pranksters, but GENIUS pranksters, their talent needs to be put to work where we NEED that sort of talent.

Yup! The very best of adolescent kid. Bright, creative, disruptive, but not destructive.

I've spent years of my life working with public schools (teacher training, in-service workshops, grant writing, etc.). The best teachers would immediately leap on something like this and find ways to work it into lessons on creativity and problem-solving. They'd find ways to tie it to everything from creative writing to physics and mathematics. They would immortalize the kids as the "best and brightest."

The average administrator would immediately suspend the kids and try to find some way to expel them!

That's brilliant! (and damned funny!)

Genius!

We never came up with anything so clever.

While it wasn't destructive, our tour de force in high school was putting ourselves on the school payroll in computer science class. The next week, we began receiving paychecks for going to school. It was just minimum wage at 40 hours, you see...the bank had NO sense of humor about it, though. Neither did the school board.

The Asst. Principal, or Principal Ass as we used to call him (recovering from testicular cancer as well, hence the nickname Uniball) wanted to expel us all. The next pay period, he received a termination of contract notice and a check for $000.01. When I asked him if he wanted to keep playing hardball with us, he just gave up. He made the mistake of crossing me again, though, and the next pay period, all the teachers got ENORMOUS raises - except for him. The bank very much frowned on those multi-million dollar paychecks. Finally, the principal and guidance counselor (the 2 with some sense) had to step in a negotiate a peaceful end to the war.

One suggestion was that we take government/econ via correspondence course, and just drop out and stay home! We would still get our diplomas.

All was well that ended well, though.
