High school picture day can be awkward, even if you've had tons of practice with your 2,304 selfies a day. That's why Redditor davidhusselbee and his friends decided to have some fun with it and leave their mark on the book that they might look back at once in the next 20 years.
Inside jokes can be a tricky thing, can't they?
Without the backstory, you're left wondering what the heck is so funny. See? This isn't funny to most of us.But when the context and the joke itself surfaces, outsiders almost immediately feel like they're "in" on it.
Then...BRING ON THE LAUGHS! See how one inside joke managed to entertain not just a few classmates, but the whole world with this well-thought out ploy.
As the joke grows in scope, so does its comedic value, honestly.
As always, though, context is everything. That certainly applies in this case.
At any rate, the teachers decided to bond with the kids through tacky attired and donned the yellow beauty themselves.

Which makes this the perfect sort of mindless, yet brilliant stunt for the Internet to grab hold of.
...and start it did.Let's just say that one shirt company greatly benefited from the prank of about 50 students...
