In 8th grade I loosely implied in science class that a particular girl might be an example of a cow-human hybrid (her last name was Cowan, see.) Too many people got it and laughed, so the teacher figured it out and I got sent to the assistant principal's office for bullying, despite the fact that this girl and I were decent acquaintances and I was far-more-often-than-not the victim of bullying at that age... While waiting in the office for my verbal beatdown, the staff kept sending me off to run errands for them, because they all knew me from Student Council and assumed I must be there on official good-kid business.
