When we were in 8th grade, there was this kid, which I feel terrible about now, but none of us liked him and he was quite slow. One day while our class was in the library we went up to him with a condom and told him it was bubble gum. He placed it in his month and chewed it and blew a bubble! It was mean looking back on it now, but still makes me laugh too.
