Two teens who were bored when sports practice was canceled on Monday did the next best thing: They got a couple of Super Soaker water guns and wreaked wet havoc on unsuspecting motorists on Madison's West Side.

The 16-year-old boys didn't cause any damage, except for wet shirts, laps and faces, but they did get a scolding from police not to do it again.

When practice for their sports team was called off, the two decided to whet their appetite for mischief by getting the two water blasters, capable of shooting a stream of water up to 35 feet.

They took off in a car owned by the father of one of the boys, driving around to look for targets.

"Police began getting calls, at least five or six, from a wide swath of the west district, from Segoe Road to Tokay Boulevard out to West Towne Mall," said police spokesman Joel DeSpain.

One driver who was super soaked was also super annoyed.

The man told police "I was shot in the face with a stream of water, endangering my life and the lives of others by preventing me from focusing on maintaining a constant awareness of my surroundings while operating a deadly vehicle."
