For all that do not already know, fellow Physics Honors classmates, James Park and Andrew Wu decided to pull a prank on Mr. Haywood. Code name? Operation Paper-Mache.
Mr. Darryl Haywood, the AP Chemistry and Physics Honors teacher, had his own special way for dealing with tardy, food-eating, and gum-chewing students. Every time someone committed one of these sinful crimes, he would simply ask the student, "Jail or Fine?"
"Jail" meant something along the lines of detention. No one picked jail because he actually organized a time for you to come in and it meant that you absolutely HAD to come in.
"Fine" was the more popular choice. Students would have to bring into class a pre-specified item of Mr. Haywood's choice. Example? Rulers, paper towels, or...
TISSUE BOXES.
Mr. Haywood often forgot about these fines and because he gives up on reminding people to bring in their fines, the student would most probably forget as well.
On a random day during class, James and Andrew decided that over the course of the two years that they had Mr. Haywood as a teacher, they owed him a lot of "fines". After much thought and discussion, the two decided to pay back all their fines in full.
Operation Paper-Mache
THE REPORT
(the fabricated story...or at least some of it is)
On Sunday, May 21, 2006, Andrew and James decided to go to the nearby Safeway to get their tissue boxes.
After finding the tissue box section, they compared prices and decided which one was the cheapest.
Since, between the two of them, they owed so many fines, they had to find out if all the tissue boxes would fit into Andrew's trunk.
After finding out that all the tissue boxes would probably fit into Andrew's trunk, it was only a matter of buying them. However, after buying-out all of Safeway's cheapest tissue boxes, they had to venture next door to Rite-Aid to buy their tissue boxes.
They tossed all the tissue boxes into Andrew's car and prepared to give them to Mr. Haywood the next day.
Mr. Taylor, one of Mr. Haywoods colleagues, decided to let Andrew and James store the tissue boxes in the science building's office until the two students were ready to present them to Mr. Haywood. In order to keep it a surprise, Andrew put all of the tissue boxes in a giant duffle bag.
However, Andrew and James decided that they could decorate the tissue boxes and make the tissue boxes into a nice formation so presentation could be easier. So they got a couple friends to help with the preparation.
Because Andrew and James had to emphasize the fact that these tissue boxes were paying for our fines, they decided to put "Jail or Fine?" on their wall of tissue boxes.
The finished product with the two perpetrators. (front view)
Because Andrew and James had Mr. Haywood for 6th period, they decided to move it into Mr. Haywood's classroom and in front of the door during lunch to make sure that he would notice that Andrew and James were paying back their fines.
When lunch ended, Mr. Haywood came to unlock his door out of routine, but this time, he found something in the way...

Facts about the operation:
-The tissues cost around 65 dollars total.
-The wall consisted of 45 tissue boxes.
-Yes, we did actually clean out Safeway.
-Mr. Haywood's door was around 3 ft x 7 ft
-Our tissue box wall was around 2 ft 9 in x 6 ft 3 in.
-We do not owe 45 fines...thank you very much.
-The wall is still in his room and will be there until the beginning of next school year. He said that he would keep it up until next year so he can scare his students.
-Around 1 full roll of mailing tape, and 1/2 a roll of masking tape, and 2 meter sticks were used to sucure all of the tissue boxes.
-Operation Paper-Mache occured during 6th period on Monday, May 22, 2006.
And...just a random picture of something i did when i was bored...yes, it is an ambigram of "Jail or Fine?"
OK, now in order to confirm that this is an ambigram, you're going to have to either
1. Turn your head upside-down to see how it reads the other direction or...
2. Turn your monitor upside-down so you don't have to hurt yourself.
Just kidding, here's the picture upside down. You can confirm this by observing the signature, in the first picture it is in the bottom right corner, when turned 180 degrees around, the signature should be in the top left corner.
Conclusion?
OPERATION PAPER-MACHE: SUCCESS
