      Okay...and that has what to do with this? Was he such a moron that he couldn't figure out how to escape without touching any of it? I'm an idiot, and I can figure shit like that out.

      Though honestly, his refusal to have any contact with the item sounds more germaphobic than homophobic. Either way, the fact that he actually missed an exam because of something that ridiculous is intelliphobic.

        Somehow I missed this thread when it was active, but had reason to read it today. I wanted to share my best prank ever.

        A little background: When I worked at the community college, this one professor and I were in a constant prank battle that stretched back many, many years. Now, this particular professor has a reputation of being very prim and proper. Almost prissy. Most of our colleagues couldn't understand why we were even friends, as he generally kept his real personality under wraps at work. I always liked to joke that Dr. Smith and John were two very, very different people who happened to share the same body and drive the same car. Anyway, our friendship stretched back even longer than our working relationship, and as he grew up as one of the youngest kids in a family of more kids than I'd ever want to contemplate giving birth to, he was somewhat of a prankster.

        Well, one term I decided that I would pull something off that he would never be able to top. I had an idea. In order to pull this off I would need the cooperation of a number of people, including my dean, the campus president and the chief of police for our town (smaller municipality in large county that often gets lumped into "Large City"). Now, I'd been teaching at this school for quite some time at this point and had a fair number of contacts and favors that could be called in. I pretty much called in every favor I could.

        So, how it played out was that Dr. Smith taught three classes back to back and then gave himself an hour break before office hours. This was perfect for my purposes. At the end of his last class, but before most of the students were able to get out of the room, a member of our city's finest entered the room and approached him in a manner that indicated that he was in Serious Trouble. He was then escorted by that officer and another officer that had been outside the room down the stairs, across campus, and into the conference room in a different building. He was placed in that room and even more officers "stood guard" outside the door where they let him stew for a few minutes. The original officer came in after about ten minutes and started questioning him about his whereabouts on a certain day (the day was picked at random), leading him to believe that he might actually be in trouble. This went on for about 5 minutes before his boss came in to "intervene". The boss started out playing the "we'll make sure you get a lawyer" role, but after just a few minutes, couldn't stop laughing, and the gig was up. As soon as Dr. Smith realized he'd been had his first words were "WHERE IS MATHNERD?! SHE'S BEHIND THIS!"

        Yup. I was. And it was good. He did try to get me back, but he was never able to get quite to that level.

        I win.

            Not the beginning. I happened to be in a meeting with the dean when the latter half was taking place.
