The chemistry joke that got a high school student suspended. Graduating senior Paris Gray’s yearbook quote was:
“When the going gets tough, just remember to Barium, Carbon, Potassium, Thorium, Astatine, Arsenic, Sulfur, Uranium, Phosphorus.”
After the yearbook was printed and distributed, school officials finally figured out the symbols for those chemicals spell BaCK ThAt AsS UP. Public sentiment is running solidly in her favor and school officials have revoked the punishment.
