In first year engineering we had a math prof that was not well liked. So, I hollowed the end of a piece of blackboard chalk and inserted three match heads, then put some plaster on to cover up my work.
I got to math lecture early, removed all the chalk, except for my piece, and wrapped some masking tape on the unmodified end, just to make sure he wrote with the right end.
The prof came in, picked up my chalk, wrote the title, then underlined it with areal flourish...as he finished the underlining the match heads all lit and they flared up about 6". Hilarity ensued.
I can still picture it, his sh-itttty polyester sports jacket, the flame held high and at arms length, his eyes bulging. Priceless. And ten times better than I had ever hoped for.
I was a legend in the engineering school for the next four years...my friends still talk about it.
