A couple of weeks before we graduated I filled out a form advertising a porn movie catalog from the back of a porn mag with my friend's name and address. When it arrived he innocently opened it in front of his parents to great embarrassment. He received so much junk mail from them he eventually had to write to the company to request them to stop sending him stuff.

This is the story I'll tell my grandchildren if I need to explain what trolling people was like before the internet.

Do you have any stories to share?

One Friday lunchtime myself and some classmates slipped some laxatives in his food.

He never turned up for class and we never asked why

I was at my bank today waiting in a short line. There was just one lady in front of me, a chinese lady, who was trying to exchange remimbi for dollars. It was obvious she was a little irritated. She asked the teller, "Why it change? Yesterday, I get two hunat dolla of remimbi. Today I only get hunat eighty? Why it change?" The teller shrugged his shoulders and said, "Fluctuations." The chinese lady says, "Fluc you white people too!"
