Pass The Butter
 
Our lunchtime conversation about schools indirectly reminded me about "Pass The Butter," a game my friend Zarc would play in high school. [Hopefully I remember enough key details to do the story justice.] Apparently, the high school cafeteria served bagels with disproportionately thick pats of butter. Kids, in classrooms, would take chunks of the butter, write someone's name on it and throw it at them. The person whose name was inscribed on the butter was expected to catch the butter and this throwing butter game would continue from one end of the room to the other end where a chalkboard covered the wall. Kids closest to the chalkboard would catch the butter and smear it into the chalkboard. One day, they arrived to find the row of desks closest to the chalkboard pulled away from the wall. When asked what happened, the janitor responded that the kids had been rubbing their "greasy hair" on the chalkboard rendering saturated board unusable.
