The Great Skittles Caper

This is the face of pure evil you are looking at. This young man committed a sinful crime so grevious that it would not surprise me if the Pope himself had to get involved on this one. Please only read on if you have a strong stomach – this is quite violent.

This kid, who is his middle school’s vice-president, was expelled from school for buying a bag of skittles from a classmate. No, “skittles” is not a new slang for some kind of drug. Just the bag of regular old candy.

I was laughing when I read this because I remember my candy selling business in grade school. I would buy bags of candy at the local mini mart and sell it at school for two and three times the price. It was a great racket. Of course I was fat and ate free candy all day, but it sure was fun.

This article today was one of the lead stories at CNN.com – Read the full story about The Great Skittles caper. And yes, the school staff realized maybe this was a little harsh to expell the student – so he’s back in school and vice-president once again.

Ah…..happy endings.
