High school principal meme'd after telling students not to do a senior prank

Is nothing safe from memes?

Memes are everywhere these days. Whether they are harmless high school pranks, or possible acts of war, nothing is safe from the meme treatment. Least of all anybody who wields authority over high schoolers.

The principal at Willis High School gave his senior students a stern warning: if you do a senior prank, you can't walk at graduation.

Then this, of course, happened next.

Come on, dude. You're practically asking to get meme'd.

But apparently, the principal, Mr. Utecht, was a very good sport about the whole thing.

Mr. Utecht told BuzzFeed, "I will take this anytime. Something at my expense is far superior to any damage to property or inappropriate behavior."

Never stop meme-ing, kids.
