Black-and-White Striped Paint

One of my 8th grade boys (bear in mind, he'll be in high school next year) was assigned to purchase water balloons for an upcoming school event. He asked me on Thursday if he should buy the ones which already had water in them ...
Why the title? In my younger days (when I was not nearly so kind and merciful) I had been known to send new kids who were fresh out of school on a search around the shop for black-and-white striped paint.
I love teaching middle school here!
