Boys will be boys, but this football player took it to a whole new level while graduating from Jack Britt High School in Fayetteville, N.C.

Seconds after crossing center stage, Quinton Murphy whipped off his gown and posed for the crowd in just his leopard-skin skivvies and knee socks. The most surprising thing is that no one on the stage seems all that surprised, but Murphy sure looks happy to have pulled it off (no pun intended).

While the stunt drew shrieks and cheers from the audience, school officials were not amused; the Fayetteville Observer reports that Murphy was greeted by police officers when he left the stage and ended up losing his diploma over the incident (though he will still be considered a graduate). Perhaps it made a bigger impression than he thought it would.
