Don't chew pencilsAt school (about 8yrs old I guess) my best mate had a habit of putting his pencil in his mouth while thinking.
I had the bright idea of 'curing' his addiction by tapping him on the head. Logic told me that the rubber on the end of the pencil wouldn't do that much harm.
'8 year old' logic failed to inform me the reason people put pencils in their maws is to generally chew them.
Anyways with a bit too much gusto I smacked him on the back of the head with a wee bit too much enthusiasm I guess.
3 days later I visited him in hospital after at least two attempts to get shredded wood fragments out of the back of his throat.
We lost touch soon after that..

'lady's things'I had a friend called badger who intensely disliked another boy named morgan. badger went onto the internet and found incontinance pants and sanitary towels as free samples and signed morgan up to recieve them in the post
he also advertised morgan's mobile in the free ads, the contact number being of course the mobile in question, so he'd get about 15 calls a day from people asking to buy it
i'm not one for perpetrating pranks on other people but i've been the victim of a few
my brother once took the bottom out of a wooden dining chair and replaced the cushion, the idea being that i'd sit on it and fall through.
instead i knelt on the chair and leant forward to open the glass door of the hi-fi cabinet, which i was subsequently thrown through
i ended up with glass all over me, in my nose and my ears and my hair and blood litterally covering my face like in carrie. i still have scars
my brother screamed for about 20 solid minutes
