    My high school chemistry teacher once missed class because he got pulled over with some kind of reagent for a demonstration in a ziploc bag…

    They arrested him, took him and his bag to the station, tested it and what do you know, not cocaine.

    He was pretty pissed.

        That guy actually was the danger.

        He would ignite and throw flash paper at napping students, literally waking them with a fireball bursting a foot from their face.

        He once told us about how he had a bullet wound from that one time he was on a fishing crew somewhere near Indonesia and got shot at (and returned fire) by a rival fishing ship.

        Oh, and he regularly carried a whip, and would use it to turn on and off the main room lights when he was bored, by whip cracking the switch from 12 ft away.
