(Continued from previous post)

April Fool's Day was coming up, and as I would soon be graduating, my thoughts turned to creating a ruckus (now that is a wonderful word!). One plan led to another and some friends and I arrived at school early that morning to set up.

Our Chemistry teacher lectured from behind a dark wooden lecturn, constantly rubbing it as he spoke to the class, using an overhead projector to write and draw on. We snuck into the Chemistry room and rubbed dark brown shoe polish on the lecturn, so that as he was rubbing it that day the shoe polish would come off on his hands.

Also, having come upon a recipe for a wax and sulphur compound that smelled like rotten eggs when heated, we decided that would be just the ticket to put behind the radiators in the highschool hallways.

But wait, what about in the overhead projector? That gets pretty warm - hot, actually.

Who was your co-conspirator in this? I vaguely remember the incident but can't recall your fellow delinquent(s).
