[edit] Smith N. Jones High School

Looks like a prank; I can't find any evidence that a school by this name exists in Midway, Wyoming (or any other locale), and none is offered by the article. Wile E. Heresiarch 09:03, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)

• Delete as likely prank/hoax of some sort. Any real school would have at least 1 Google hit, somewhere, somehow. This doesn't. Bye. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 18:17, Jan 16, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete hoax. —Korath (Talk) 22:19, Jan 16, 2005 (UTC)
• Comment Who's Smith N. Jones anyway?
• Delete, If this is a prank, I must ask why the author put in so much effort. However, this doesn't appear to be notable. Inter 23:16, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• The name is probably an attempt to not be blatant by using "Smith 'n' Jones". Alias Smith and Jones is a possible origin. Also notice the claim that staff at the school have won the Nobel Prize. Uncle G 05:29, 2005 Jan 17 (UTC)

• Confession It was I who created Smith N. Jones High School in Midway, Wyoming. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Their staff never won any Nobel Prizes. Neither did their alumni. The school didn't get any recognition, so they didn't get the Blue Ribbon Award of Excellence in Education either. I created the "school". It doesn't exist! Ha ha...! 68.23.44.205 00:35, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • For your next act:
    • Go to a newspaper vending machine, pay for one paper, and take two! Ha ha ha ha ha!
    • Accumulate lots of pennies by always taking a few pennies from "leave-a-penny-take-a-penny" trays —and never leaving any! Hee hee hee hee hee!
    • Every time you see a car with one of those magnetic "Support Our Troops" ribbons on it, just peel it off and keep it! Ho ho ho ho ho!
• Speed deleted as admitted fabrication. Wile E. Heresiarch 07:39, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)
