There's a great kid's story (name escapes me now) about a boy who won't stop pulling the pig-tails of the girl in front of him. Every time he does, she shrieks, and the teacher reprimands him. Finally, he gets the last reprimand: if it happens again, he'll be suspended.

He returns to his desk, resolved to be better, having decided he doesn't want to be suspended.

With no known reason, the girl shrieks. He's sent home.

Moral of the story: the line is actually further away from the edge than tricksters think it is.
