The Neil-the-Lightboy Story

  This week a boy on my floor, Neil S. decided to repeatedly leave his room unlocked and walk away from it. As we all should know, leaving one's room unlocked is an open invitation for thieves and infidels to go into your room, destroy, pillage, & burn. So we decided to teach Mr. Neil a lesson. It is quite amusing when Neil walks away from his room for a few brief moments to lock yourself in his room, thus locking him out. It is even more fun to have his keys and really lock him out. On Saturday evening, Neil took his official Neil S. Pool Cue & Pool Glove to the SUNY Binghamton University Union to play pool (billiards to us civilized gentlemen). Neil left his keys in the door to his room when he left to play pool. On the ring were keys to his room, his home in Poughkeepsie, and his 1998 Chrysler LeNeil. Neil was very lucky that we, his friends, found his keys before some ruffians found them. We decided to teach Neil a lesson and turn everything we could upside-down. This included his chair, his bed, his posters, and replacing his favorite CDs with low-quality CDs such as Green Day. Needless to say, Neil was upset, but he must realize several things: never leave your door unlocked; we did you a favor by not stealing; your pool glove is not at all cool; we could have flipped your computer.
