Funny story Copey, thanks for posting.
I have another one. My uncle (now deceased) was a real prankster as a kid as well as being mechanically talented.
The story goes that he rigged up a Model A spark coil in the boys bathroom of the high school. He ran one wire to the urinal and the other wire to (I assume) the floor which was a little wet near the urinal. My uncle hid in the toilet stall.
Well, he heard someone come in to take a leak and while this person was relieving himself, my uncle touched the wires to the contacts on the coil.
He did not know that it was the PRINCIPAL who was using the urinal. Any way he "lit him up" so to speak.
I think he was suspended for a week for that one.
