More stupid than naughty
We were taken on a trip to see a technology fair, lots of stands with massive laser-cutting machines, robotic this and that, men in suits, and lots and lots of reading-material, shiny catalogues, glossy brochures, tonns of the stuff. Every one of us came away with several plastic bags filled with promo material. On the bus back, we quickly picked over our haul, saved the few useful/cool bits (Rulers, pens, pencils, keyrings and so on) and proceeded to rip all the paper into stacks and stacks of postage-stamp size bits. When it was all ripped up we chucked the entire lot out the top hatch and out the windows. All at the same time. On the motorway. Turns out, we had done such a good job with the ripping up of paper, they had to shut the motorway down. We knew nothing, until the police came to our school the next day. Teachers were not impressed, not the principal either. Appoplectic, incandecent fury describes their reaction to our idle fingers quite well. I remember denying flat that I had anything to do with it. I guess they knew I was lying.
