Not to be too critical here, Eric, but I think you need to grade them on their efforts. I mean, that's a mediocre toilet-papering job, no? Did they even make an attempt to Saran Wrap your desk drawers closed? And I would take the coffee cans as a hint that I needed to jazz up my lecturing a bit more.....a veiled commentary by the students that each needed a full can of coffee to remain awake. No gum sticking the feet of your chair to the floor?.....No drawer full of rotten apple cores after a semester of school lunches? Hmmmm....what's with students these days?? :-)
All in jest! ... LOL
I worked in a lab once where the supervisor kept getting on us, his students, for leaving test-tube labeling tape stuck on the lab benches....little odds and ends that didn't fit on the tube. Over and over again he would come in when each of us was trying to focus on our experimentation and give us the grind. So we finally tracked down his favorite set of micro-pipettors, the little hand-held tools that you use to transfer small volumes of liquid when setting up experiments, and in one fit of mock retribution, duct-taped all of them into one mass of tape and pipettors and placed them back in his drawer.
To his credit, he thought is was pretty amusing when he found them!.......
Here's to the end of another school year!....
