OK, goofy college/military stories, let's hear them

Let's see... There was these two guys, one From Milwaukee, and the other from Guangzhou, China who would have "penguin races" down our hallway.

For the unenlightened a "penguin race" is a race where both participants have their pants down around their ankles.

1. Take a folder

tape the top and bottom. Fill with shaving cream. Slip open end under dorm's Resident Advisor's door. Knock. Wait a few moments so RA can walk towards door.

Stamp on shaving-cream filled folder. Run back to room. Wait for angry knock at door. Stifle laughter as you answer, greeted by livid, shaving-cream covered RA shouting, "I know it was you! I know it was you!"

2. Hook a big stereo to your TV - turn up volume. Pop in a porno. Pull the fire alarm.

Stand outside and enjoy them try to get the attention of the "couple" going at it.

3. there was this undergrad working in our lab....

This was at the University of Georgia. Anyway, there were lots of undergrads employed in the lab to sort insect trap catches and the like. I was there working on my doctoral research one night, really late, like 2:00 AM or so, and this kid was there too, doing his work. Eventually, he pops into my office, says he's a bit burned out from peering into a microscope for hours and needs a bike ride to relax, but he's coming back after he wakes up a bit. I say "Cool, see you later." It was a lovely cool summer night and I envied him the ride.

An hour or so later I finished and left. As I was walking out through the dark hallway, I ran into the undergrad, riding his bike up and down the long hall, back and forth, pushing hard in big gears to work up a sweat. In the empty nighttime hallway, where he'd been riding for the last hour or so.
