Tripping somebody up is neither original, funny or clever…except funny…. And clever.
Our teacher was late once so we were all standing in the corridor outside the class room and a first year who was also clearly late for his class came running down the otherwise empty corridor at very high speed. Having seen the opportunity to both embarrass (and potentially hurt) this small child, whilst at the same time gaining the respect of my fellow pupils, I couldn’t let it go.
A casually extended foot was all that was required to make my evil scheme work to perfection. The boy flew, how he flew!
