More proof that teenagers are crazy...

Recently, an eighteen year-old in Ohio thought it would be freakin' hilarious to streak the student body during lunch time.

He added some extra precautions to help prevent himself from being caught. He apparently thought that if he covered his body in grape seed oil, so he could avoid being captured. Didn't work.

What the heck is grape seed oil? Is that a generation XX thing? I'd like a double grape seed latte' please!

Why not use Wesson Oil? Or motor oil? Or extra virgin olive oil?

He was being held at the county jail Monday, and it was not known whether he had a lawyer.

Good move ex-lax.
