This isn't mine, but just as funny. In the early 70's my brother gathered his friends and they left for the weekend. He forgot to turn off his record player, it was on full volume, and he had it set to repeat. So it played the same side over and over and over and over again for more than 60 hours. Since he was the RA, no one else had a key to his room. He had a corner room on the top floor. The corner rooms had the only windows that swung out. His roommate dropped his glass out the window and it went through the next four windows. (Physics testing). They were at a dorm party and realized no one else was around. Someone had called the cops. Since the three of them were over 21, they showed their IDs, gathered the keg, and relocated the party to their apartment. They had a neighbor they didn�t like. (I don�t know where they got the cockroaches) It was the last week of school and they had already moved out, they asked to borrow his vacuum cleaner, sucked up all the roaches, and returned it. I did similar things, but it was 15 years later so the college frowned upon such antics. I moved to an apartment after one semester. Kevin T.
