Don't worry, I ran this through legal. One more high school story. When I was in high school, I became involved in a nefarious plot to blow up the school--and get us all a few days off. A fellow student informed me of a conspiracy to flush all the toilets in the school at once--which would supposedly blow up the plumbing, make a mess if not a real flood, and get us dismissed for the day. I was a quiet honor student, by the way--one of 3 out of 732 who was never called to the disciplinarian's office through 3 years of high school. So an obvious choice, as no one would have suspected my involvement in such a scheme. Or they might have imagined I was brighter than this.
The plot failed. We were all supposed to be stationed at the toilets at noon--so some careful planning was required, to make sure we were actually in place in each lavatory. Nothing happened. We spent several days trying to find out who didn't flush. I wonder if teens have been told this story since the invention of indoor plumbing. All in the interest of science, anyway.
