Was exchanging e-mails recently with a friend from our high school days. We both turn 50 this year - my how time flies. Reminded me of one of my better practical jokes.
Way back then, we both worked at our local KFC. I had gotten into the habit of hiding in the parked cars of our friends who worked there and scaring them when they hopped into their vehicles. Yes, juvenile - but I was one! Lucky I was never shot!
Anyway, this friend of mine always locked his car, and would brag that I could never get him. So one night I see he's working, I wasn't that night, and I tried to figure out how to pull a joke on him. Then I figured it out! They were building another store in a strip mall next to the KFC, so I helped myself to a few bricks that were laying around. I jacked up each of his tires, and placed just enough bricks under each axle so that the tire was just about the ground - but hanging freely. He came out about an hour after I finished up, saw me standing in the parking lot talking with our peers (who I had told what I had done so they could enjoy the sight), and promptly razzed me that I once again had failed to get him.
Did I?
He hopped in his car, put it in gear, and spun his tires! You could see the confusion on his face. Then he tried going forward, then back again, over and over. He just couldn't understand what was happening!
We all fell on the ground laughing. He finally got out of the car, came over and admitted that I got him - then wanted to know how. I showed him the devilish work I had done, then helped him get his car back on terra firma.
