When pens are outlawed....

Andrew Mikel II admits it was a stupid thing to do. In December, bored and craving attention, the 14-year-old used a plastic tube to blow small plastic pellets at fellow students in Spotsylvania High School. In one lunch period, he scored three hits.

"They flinched. They looked annoyed," Mikel said.



The school district saw it as more than a childish prank. School officials expelled him for possession and use of a weapon, and they called a deputy sheriff to the scene, said Mikel and his father, Andrew Mikel Sr.

The younger Mikel, a freshman, said he was charged with three counts of misdemeanor assault.

He should've used little balls of paper soaked in flob. They are the blanks of the pea-shooter world.

"Flob", now there's a word much missed in today's argot!

Sorry then he'd been charged with dispersing a biological agent and Got a WMD charge as well.

Oh come one now, spitballs have been around since there have been something resempling a straw.
Imagine if he did what wee used to, put a pin in the front of the spitball, then shoot it.

He'd be looking at 10-15yrs
