(Continued from previous post)

Later that same day I was called to the principal's office and told that an overhead projector had caught fire, billowing poisonous, sulphurous dioxide gas. The school smelled terrible and the second floor (only) was evacuated.

Suspension was discussed. Calling my mother was probably done, but I don’t quite recall. Why me? Why not my buddy Gary, too? The pranks may have been my ideas, but he sure did help all the way. A great high school friend, indeed.

I love April Fool's Day - I think it deserves cards and decorations just like Valentine's Day. It might be the most under-celebrated holiday on the calendar. Why not make a big deal out of a day dedicated to making people laugh? There can’t be too much mirth or joy in the world.

Perhaps I overdid it on that particular occasion, but my intentions were good. Umm, maybe not.
