The Chemistry lab

Myself and Dave had a habit of sitting at the back of the lab in Chemistry, and always ended up getting up to mischief.


One day whilst (not) listening to Mr Pamplin as he was drawing something up on the board with his back turned, we opened up a cupboard to see what we could find.


Well, we managed to find some equipment and chemicals that had obviously been left there by some other pupil, so we decided to do a little experiment of our own. The experiment involved, of course, random mixing of chemicals in a test tube.


It started bubbling and a yellow gas  came out and wouldn't stop, the stench was unbelievable.


We panicked and poured it down the sink and ran some water to flush it away. Except it didnt go away, it started coming up every plug hole in the lab. Everyone was now being affected and Mr Pamplin now noticed the commotion and smell and evacuated the lab!


Detention was the order of the day, no change there then.
