Recalling the time he took a fart machine off one of his students, teacher Scott Pughsley asked his Twitter followers to name the strangest thing they had confiscated.

He got quite a range of responses.

1. A living tortoise

A small tortoise that was swishing around in the backpack of a year 7. Poor thing ☹️

2. A sex toy

A giant purple dildo with a suction cup on the end that was being launched onto the shower wall in the boys changing room.. 😢

What’s worse: when we called home, the parent had to audacity to ask for it back! 😂😂 DEAD.

4. This one is really sweet

An 💍 engagement ring ! A little boy called Craig aged 6 found it in the bathroom at his house and brought it to school to give to Laura his girlfriend! She liked it but it was a bit big and was asking me to help fit it on her !
