Missouri school investigates urine prank by girls team

CASSVILLE, Mo. (AP) -
A southwest Missouri high school says four girls' basketball players from a rival school poured urine into the opposing team's water cooler during a February game.

Monett High's principal told parents in a letter last week that the four Cassville High players each urinated into a cup, then dumped the contents of one of the cups into the Monett team cooler at a Feb. 4 game in Cassville. The schools are located about 20 miles apart near the Missouri-Arkansas border.

A written statement from the Cassville school district confirms that unspecified disciplinary action has been taken in response to the "inappropriate act."

Monett High School has contacted infectious disease specialists and says a Cassville student is being tested for potential health risks. Monett's principal encouraged parents not to retaliate.

Good luck with that one!

I'd like to at least know what the "unspecified disciplinary actions" was...

for his co workers. Must be the cool thing these days. Retaliation with excrement.

This is really primitive. Fascinating de-evolution, reverting to chimpanzees.

No joke either: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/19/jordan-drake-semen-breath-mints_n_2909163.html?utm_hp_ref=weird-news

Really what is happening in our society that this is considered a prank?

Way to ruin your future, idiot.

"He also lost a scholarship at Michigan State University and an internship at Dow Chemical Company."

Good. Somebody that would do that should never be able to work at a chemical company!

Idiocracy? Body fluids offenders proliferating.....(The breath mint guy was a stellar student, got off easy legally but lost his scholarship and job offers).

What is this about? Anyone got any clues?

Girls usually have a communal sense of group disgust that prevents pranks involving bodily fluids from ever actually happening. I would have thought the "eeew" factor would have kept it from manifesting.
But then again, maybe teenage girls have changed a lot over the past couple of decades.

is that what they're calling it?

I'm thinking more like criminal act. As for no retaliation, good luck. I'm not thinking the parents, but rather the students. I know if I was one of the girls that drank from that cooler.....

Remember the good old days when kids would just go toilet paper someone's house? Now it's like "let's go cover someone's car in cow shit" or "let's go pee in the opposing team's drinking water". WTF!!!

Look people - anything you think might be a prank that involves bodily fluids (this includes vomit, shit, piss, semen, blood...) isn't a prank. It's a crime. Probably a misdemeanor or even a felony in some cases.
