A teenager "borrows" a classmate's cell phone and sets the ringer to play the Russian national anthem and takes it off the school-prescribed silent ring mode. He enlists another teen to call the phone when the three of them have class together. The following happens:
1. More than half the anthem plays before the victim realizes it's her phone ringing.
2. Teacher requires the victim to answer the phone in speaker mode since the silent mode rule has been violated.
3. Doofus on the other end of the line does not have the sense to hang up, but instead answers it saying "Uh, how are things in class," in full hearing of the class, the victim, and the teacher.
The following results:
1. Victim is punished for violating the silent ring rule.
2. Doofus is punished for making a phone call in class.
3. Instigator laughs evilly in his head for the rest of the day and revels in telling his father about the exploit over the weekend.
The question: How can I punish this kid after laughing through the entire story, especially at Doofus who decides taking the call through to its natural conclusion is the best course of action?
Aside: Said evil genius may be annoying his older brother with the Russian national anthem in the next room.
