What landed you in the principal's office in high school, and what was your punishment?

I was in there a lot. The punishment was always detention and occasionally a letter sent home to my parent. I never did anything majorly criminal just being cheeky to teachers, playing hooky, smoking etc. Once we got caught doing something and got a very strange punishment. This was when me an my mate (senior year) got under the seats at the back of the bus when the younger kids were going to the zoo for the day. The young kids who could see us never gave us away but a couple of teachers saw us running off when we got off the bus at the zoo and we got called into the principles office the next day. He told us our punishment was we had to go in the annual school play; apparently they could never get enough senior boys to take part in it. I played a cowboy in a crowd of people and had to just mill around and pretend to talk to other people behind the actors. Immediately before I went on I took off my jeans under the fake leather chaps and walked up to the front of the stage looking normal but when I turned around everyone could see my arse. It actually got a giant laugh out of the parents - it was the first night and on this night the parents got served a meal by the home economics department and could bring there own wine and beer, were seated at tables and were maybe a little pissed - and I even heard one of my mate’s Mums shout out ‘look you can see Dave Foucault’s bum’. I got a lot of detentions for this.
