Deer Spine Prank

Manchester College is a tiny school (enrollment of about 1100), so students sometimes need to be creative to find entertainment. Sometime during the winter of 2002-2003, my junior year, my buddy and I decided to go for a drive. It was real late at night, probably around three of four o’clock in the morning.
On our drive, we were cruising down a back-ass country road just north of campus, we saw something in the road. It was long, and grayish in color. We slowed down to check it out.
We pulled up right in front of it to get a better look with our headlights. It was possibly the most bizarre thing I had ever seen: an entire, intact deer spine (we assume it was a deer spine, it was about 3-4 feet in length). We marveled at it for a second before my buddy said: "let's throw it in the back of our truck."
We did just that.
With the unconfirmed spine, in the back, we started driving back to campus trying to figure out what to do with it.
Leave it somewhere on campus? Nah, security might find it.
Leave it on someone's car? Nah, security might find it.
Well, we thought, let's leave it somewhere security WON'T find it: The girls’ shower in our dorm. The third floor of our dorm (Schwalm Hall) is co-ed, with one wing housing females and the other males.
So we pulled up to the back door of the dorm and quietly crept inside, deer spine in hand. My buddy was carrying it, I was running lookout. The coast was all clear, so we snuck into the girls’ bathroom, walked over to the shower area, and placed it in the first shower stall. We could hardly contain ourselves. We left the third floor and went back to our room. The next morning, we talked with some buddies who live on the third floor.
"Hey," one of them said, "did you hear that someone put a skeleton in the girls’ shower? The RA is pretty pissed."
"No," we replied. "We hadn't heard that."
To this day, we've never told anyone affiliated with Manchester College that story.

Editors Note:
Great job on keeping the story secret for these years, of course it's out now.

^ Good points...it's a good thing there aren't any other stories on this site involving potential felonies or risks to public health. Great input, Dr. JP! Go Spartans! TA - MC '94
Absolutely Brilliant...You just confessed to a felony...Had it perhaps occurred to you that you could have introduced a strain of meningitis or encephalitis to your campus and dorms...FUCKING MORON!!!!
Leave it to my twin brother to do something like that. Good thing I was not one of the girls to find "the skeleton" the next morning, my dorm was "way" across campus, where no such things like that occur! Yeah good job at keeping it on the down low. I never knew this story. Shame on you, you could have at least told me!
