A teacher in Connecticut feared for her life last week after hearing Guns N Roses played over her school's PA system, reports Associated Press.
The teacher - unnamed - heard the line "You're in the jungle baby, you're gonna diiiie..." (from ‘Welcome to the Jungle’) as a trio of teenagers at the Booth Free School, Roxbury, played silly buggers - or karaoke, if you'd rather - with the PA system on Wednesday, December 12. She promptly hid away in a classroom and called the police.
The rock-loving kids were soon released by the quick-to-respond local PD, stating they never meant any harm. Sergeant Brian Van Ness - surely with such a name he should be in a band? - commented:
“These things happen. Lucky it was humorous. You kind of have a gut feeling. As soon as we got there we spoke to the three kids. They understood.”
Do these things happen, like a lot? I must've gone to the wrong sort of school.

best opening to any song. ever.
pity bout the rest of it.
first time i heard it
i was so disappointed when he started singing
Oh my god, this story is possibly the story of 'the year'.
America, America....
Legend has it...
that someone in the year above us once put a dead mole in our emotional over-fragile music teacher's desk drawer. And someone in the year below us locked her in a cupboard.
She was such easy prey...
best teacher prank
goes to the kids in my 7th grade art class: they stuffed some kid in a trashcan and brought the teacher to tears. okay, kind of cruel but very hilarious to those of us watching...
this is an amazing story. can't wait to hear axl's reaction!
was this...
in lichfield perchance?
i remember...
band practises in the music room after our awesome old music teacher was replaced by a complete nazi. Permanent marker - meet cello. Fairy Liquid - meet TV. Stapler - meet sliding white board.
good times.
What does this even mean??
“These things happen. Lucky it was humorous. You kind of have a gut feeling. As soon as we got there we spoke to the three kids. They understood.”
They had a gut feeling
that the teacher probably takes far too many 'pinks' and 'whites'?
reign of terror
many teachers sufferred at the hands of my group of friends... a classic was one lad writing on the board before a french lesson "miss turner is a les bien". reducing the poor lady to tears. and there was that time we played knock and run on the teachers houses. and that time we got hold of their private phone numbers and crank called them at a friends house party.
ahhhhhhhh... good times....
playing knock down ginger?

hoonbot
