As I recall, there may have been whiskey involved.
Whiskey? In a fraternity house? Perish the thought!

I once saw an 1874 French Gras bayonet protruding through shingles of the Kappa Phi Delta house just like that....
Um.....do I really want to know HOW someone managed that?
Maybe something like:

Recall a HS science setting off some of each. An excellent science teacher and a bit of a maniac
Isn't that a requirement for HS science, especially chemistry, teachers? I still recall, vividly, some of the antics of Mr. Dennis "Mad Man" Madison, and his cackle when he did some of his demonstrations.

Typical Australian humour here, having a laugh even in the darkest of times. Image taken on the El Alamein road, 14 September 1942.

Amazing how far the tires are settled in the dirt, yet no tracks!
Maybe it had been sitting there for a few days.

In 1913 the brothers [Abernathy] Louis [Bud] age 13, and Temple age 9, rode from Oklahoma to New York City on the Indian Motorcycle seen in the photo. This was not the Abernathy boys firs adventure.
In 1909 the two brothers, Louis “Bud” aged nine and Temple five, encountered a host of Old West obstacles, including wolves and wild rivers, when they rode more than 1,000 miles from Oklahoma to Santa Fe and back – ALONE!.
The following year (1910) the brothers set their sights on New York City, which they reached after a month of hard riding.
In the summer of 1911, they did the impossible. They rode nearly 4,000 miles, from New York to San Francisco, in only sixty-two days. Once again, the Abernathy Boys had made a historic ride without any adult assistance and accomplished an equestrian feat which has never been equaled."
Another photo, must be the 1909 trip.

And, then God created Virginia...(Even non-Virginians should love this one.)
God was missing for six days.
Eventually, Michael, the Archangel, found him, resting on the seventh day.
He inquired, "Where have you been?"
God smiled deeply and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds, "Look, Michael. Look what I've made."
Archangel Michael looked puzzled, and said, "What is it?"
"It's a planet," replied God, and I've put life on it. I'm going to call it Earth and it's going to be a place to test Balance."
"Balance?" inquired Michael, "I'm still confused."
God explained, pointing to different parts of Earth.
"For example, northern Europe will be a place of great opportunity and wealth, while southern Europe is going to be poor. Over here I've placed a continent of white people, and over there is a continent of black people. Balance in all things."
God continued pointing to different countries.
"This one will be extremely hot, while this one will be very cold and covered in ice."
The Archangel , impressed by God's work, then pointed to a land area and said, "What's that one?"
"That's Virginia , the most glorious place on earth. There are beautiful mountains, rivers and streams, lakes, forests, hills, the ocean and plains. The people from Virginia are going to be handsome, modest, intelligent, and humorous, and they are going to travel the world.
They will be extremely sociable, hardworking, high achieving, carriers of peace, and producers of good things."Michael gasped in wonder and admiration, but then asked, "But what about balance, God? You said there would be balance."
God smiled, "Right next to Virginia is Washington , D.C. Wait till you see the idiots I put there."
