News What Is Wrong With This Story?

Besides, um, everything.
Boys caught snickering at bathroom graffitiSeveral students were questioned after Baker School officials discovered pictures of breasts and a penis on the wall of the 5th grade bathroom, according to an Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office incident report.
One boy told the principal that several students were in the bathroom laughing at a drawing on the wall. One of the boys gave him a marker and he drew a picture of a woman's breasts. He said he went back into the bathroom the next day and drew another picture of breasts, according to the report.
Someone had also drawn a picture of a penis on the wall, which caused students to laugh, the report said.
Perhaps graffiti is a crime, but since when is snickering is a crime? And some boys were caught giggling in a bathroom and the police were called in? Good God.

As a former 5th grade boy, I totally know where these kids are coming from. In fact, breasts and penises are still hilarious.

Reading this and similar stories; I would never would have made it through school in this climate. Suspensions for drawing guns, police called for graffiti, photos of yourself enough to get you arrested as a sexual predator ... nope, never would have worked out.

I think I spend three school years filling notebooks with same - I was very bright - skipped second and most of third - then they made me stay in grade to jr. high - however - I did like boys, so it was mostly pages of cocks... got lucky, my mom and day were very cool people.
They are stored somewhere. the notebooks.
And yes, today, I would have been put on drugs, many kinds, labeled a sex offender and spent my whole life on an island somewhere...
John, let's have coffee.

@8,
Well, I can agree with the gun rule. You brought deadly weapons with you to school?
@11,
You should use a 1 instead of a 7. The 7 makes the word look like "Boobles".

These are budding sex offenders! We can't turn a blind eye! They must be locked up and submitted to electroshock therapy!

Ha ha. "drawing guns" @8 could have two meanings, but, I'm pretty sure he means sketching them...
You know what else is funny to 5th grade boys? Farts. Boobies, penises, and farts -- the holy trilogy of 5th grade boy humor.

TO THIS VERY DAY....I remember my grammar school days back in Mims Academy in Harleyville, South Carolina. The message on the stall wall read: "Danny McIntyre sucks long, green donkey dicks". As perverse and well, colorful as it was, it made an impression. I will never forget it.

The police were called in because of the penis! Hello! Day one boobs. Day two more boobs and a Penis! The penis laughter is the reason the police were called the school wanted all the boys locked up on account that they may be gay.
Obviously it is not a Catholic school or they would already know what a penis looks like and would not be laughing but drooling.

This was SLOG's 5:20 funny...does that radio station still do the 5:20 funny? i haven't checked it in awhile.

All the schools are starting to implement this "zero tolerance" policy crap. Kids are still kids.
24
The fact that anyone was surprised to find penises and breasts drawn on the wall of a school bathroom is what shocks me.

I'm so glad it's been a few decades since I was a fifth grade boy. I was a skinny quiet kid who kept to myself. Today I would have been profiled as a potential Columbine shooter and force-fed Ritalin.
