Practice?

Now that would be a shocker

UFIA!!!

?well not quite

It's only fun until someone gets a colostomy bag

Kids these days.
I still have a mark in my arm where Andy Anderson (you know who you are ) stuck a pencil in my arm.
That was 30 years ago.

/you kids; get off my lawn!

I think he got the point of the prank

Damn near killed him?

"There wasn't any intent," Clark said. "It was kids horsing around."

If there was no intent, how can there have been a crime? Idiocy, yes, but that's part of the territory with kids that age (okay, _boys_ that age).

The parents called the cops. Jebus. For stupid horsing around.

My wife actually did this, when she was 8. The boy she had a crush on got up to go to the bathroom or something. When he was walking back to his seat, she held her pencil, point up, on his seat to "get his attention". Anyway it was a bulls-eye, and the kid needed to go to the hospital. How she didn't get in trouble I have no idea. Every time I hear that story, I cry a little inside for that poor boy.

Nothing but a pencil-assed geek.

UPIA

/obvious
//funkonomics: close, but no cigar or similarly shaped object

Gives new meaning to #2 pencil

kids are a mess these days in general they don't need pencils to fark up

That's the worst way to get lead poisoning...

If the cops were called for Half the things we did as kids...
Jebus.

I look back, and I'm ready to turn myself in... Not really.
Sorry?
Maybe.

Really stupid thing to have done, and real injury could have occurred. However, I have a hazy memory of having done the same thing when I was a kid, perhaps repeatedly. Indeed, I suspect it was such a routine prank in elementary school that it was not even noteworthy enough to remember.

Kids: you can really hurt someone that way. Much more effective, and much safer -- put a nice big wad of chewing gum on the chair. Trust me, it will pay off in laugh dividends.

School authorities: come on, isn't it time you banned pencils? You've banned everything else, so what's holding you back?

When I was a kid I put a tack on a chair and Leslie sat on it. I felt bad. Sorry Leslie.

I just came in to make sure "UPIA" was mentioned.

Carry on.

...and find my pencil!

"Quit screwing around. You're always screwing around."

sat on it. RIIIIIIIGHT.

Constipation. Mathematicians work it out with a pencil

carrot: Damn near killed him?

LOL

State police Trooper Brian Clark said two 13-year-old eighth-grade boys were in class at West Perry Middle School Jan. 16 when one boy allegedly stuck a sharpened pencil, point up, under the buttocks of the other.

The second boy sat down on the pencil, Clark said, lodging a piece of it in his rear. "There wasn't any intent," Clark said. "It was kids horsing around."

there was intent. There was intent to hurt/humiliate the kid and shove a pencil into his ass. There may not have been the intent to do it so far he needed surgery but drunk drivers don't plan on crashing head on into other cars either.

Heh, yeah. I've had a piece in my finger for 20 years.

For some reason a couple of years ago I decided to check to see if it was dangerous because everyone knows lead is bad in the blood. Turns out pencil lead is actually a mixture of graphite and clay and the element lead hasn't been used in centuries. It's safe but the funny part is I found out there were so many people just like me while I was doing my research.

Roy likes getting it



in the pooper.

Million to one shot, Doc...million to one.

so you're saying there are other people who are full-grown adults who are completely oblivious to the world around them? Imagine that.

was there penetration involved?

That's the worst way to get lead poisoning..

you fail. The center of the pencil -- known as the writing core -- is made of a nontoxic mineral called graphite.

Josu, I know how that is....

Some of my 3rd Grade cohorts, including myself laid not one, but three tacks on "Kim's" seat. Hilarity did not ensue at all. Still feel some major guilt about that incident.

A kid named randy put a tack on my chair, I sat on it... and I still have a numb spot in my left butt cheek. I guess it hit a nerve.

A packet of Ketchup with a pin hole is a much better way to go with this kind of prank.

I did this exact thing back in 2nd grade. All that happened was I was sent home to make sure I didn't have a piece of graphite stuck in my ass. I also didn't cry like a little beyotch like this kid/parents.

Clark said he didn't know what action, if any, had been taken against the teen by the school.

[sarcasm]That's pretty obvious- put him on the sex offender list for life so he can't work or live anywhere. He sexually assaulted and injured a child, so badly it required hospitalization and surgery, for god's sake![/sarcasm]

I sit corrected. Must be the paint I ate, as a kid.

Ah, Perry County.

The back-woods, redneck "West Virginia" of Pennsylvania.

I'm so proud of my state

If I had a dollar for every time I Accidentally sat on a pencil...

If you can fit it in there you have issues to deal with even prior to any sharpening incident.

That said:

Approves.

funkonomics: UFIA!!!

No, more like UPIA.

My friend in 8th grade jumped on the back of another one of our friends. What he didn't realize what that the guy on whose back he was jumping had a pencil in his back pocket which was pointing up. Right into the scrotum it went. He had a nice little graphite/lead mark when it was over.

Dude I have a mark in my hand from that. Apparently it's like a non-intentional tattoo.

/damn kid jammed a pencil in my hand.
// three days later he took one of those farking plastic forks and stabbed me in the wrist.
///I poured my milk carton over his head, in which case he pissed his pants because of the shock.
////It was worth it, you know who you are.

Rectum? Darn near killed 'em!

I witnessed the pencil thing happen in 8th grade science class. A Vietnamese kid glued the eraser to the seat. He got arrested for kidnapping years later. Once he brought his pet squirrel to school in his jacket. For-real you guys, I am telling the truth.

Daddakamabb:

Man, the kids at your school sound even more psychotic than the ones at mine. That had to suck!

Better a pencil than a penis..
