I went to a private boarding school. We had church every day but Sunday. We had a school priest named Father Seagram, a frozen hippy kinda priest that held chat sessions called "Cross Talk" (get it?) every Saturday night that (sadly) no one showed up to, but he kept plugging away. One day a schoolmate found a picture in a porn magazine of a guy "in action" that looked bloody IDENTICAL to Father Seagram, so we decided we had to act. We made 400 photocopies (roughly the school population), all with a cartoon balloon coming out of the guy's mouth reading "Welcome to Cross-Talk" along with a heading that read "Our spiritual mentor in ACTION!" We then broke into the school chapel at night, planted each copy in every hymnbook (except Father Seagram's) on the page of the first hymn the next day (the hymn schedule was printed every week so you always knew ahead of time what hymns were sung which days).
The next day, when Father Seagram asked everyone to please open their hymnbooks and turn to page 46.... chaos broke out. Students began laughing, teachers began shouting... Father Seagram trying to figure out what the hell was going on... worst of all, Father Seagram's son (Anglican, not Catholic) who was in his first year began crying right there in the middle of the chapel... I don't know whether it was embarassment, or if he thought this might in fact be his priest dad (the likeness was uncanny), but whatever the case, this was the funniest thing I ever did (helped do) in high school.
