What kind of funny jokes do you often play on your classmates? Hide their books or pens away? Or put something strange into their schoolbags? These are not surprising compared with the joke played by a group of six-grade students from Berwick High School.
These naughty students were trying to sell their school building, furniture and"full use of all staff members". They said that the list also included their headmaster, who might"kill"them if he found out what they were doing. They put the full package on e-Bay for a price of £2,018.
E-Bay was founded in September 1995. At that time, Omidyar's girlfriend loved Pez candy boxes, but she was sad that she couldn't find someone who had the same interest as her. So Omidyar set up a caution(小心) site to help his girlfriend communicate with Pez candy box lovers in the United States. People can sell things online on e-Bay.
The students also warned that they wouldn't accept the money they got. After the information was put on e-Bay, there were fourteen people wanting to buy the product. One person even offered £5,000 for the school.
The e-Bay listing was soon removed. However, the school didn't punish the students. Why? In fact, this was a joke played on the school"Muck-Up Day". At school, it is a long tradition to play funny jokes on their last day of school before entering their exam time.
