My apologies, of course. 😉 I'll continue the story, so that you can see that there are ramifications of water balloon attacks on innocent people.
Eventually even pelting innocent drunk girls was not thrilling enough for some of us. So members of our group took to hiding behind a locked fire door on the first floor. They would hear people walking by, throw open the door and nail them with a balloon, then run back into the dorm behind said locked door and hide out in the room until the coast was clear again. Meanwhile the rest of us would hang out on the 4th floor and watch the whole thing unfold.
Well one night a group of us was partaking in the water balloon extravaganzas. The guys had taken to propping the door open with a rock so that they had more time to take aim while throwing balloons. Well, one of the guys decided it would be a great idea to nail some dude driving by in a Pontiac Firebird (or some other redneck "sports" car). He threw the balloon, scored a direct hit, and then came peeling back to the door. Turns out the rock had become dislodged and he was locked out. This became a problem when Pontiac guy threw his ride into reverse, quick parked it, and got out to beat the crap outta whoever threw the balloon. We were mortified as we saw our friend take off down the street at a sprint, with the water balloon victim on his tail. We didn't see him for 3 hours afterwards, and he never really gave us many details of his flight for his life. All we got out of him was that he spent at least an hour hiding behind a bush a few blocks away from the dorm.
Thus ended our water balloon terrorism. It was only several months later when we ventured back into the world of petty misdemeanors when we started slingshotting apples off of the top of parking ramps at dorm windows. But that's a different story for a different time...
