How long before someone mentions either human induced global warming, evolution or fluoride in the water?

Done!

I like contact explosives the blue death on the sidewalk. Step on it and it is like a bunch of caps going of.

I like jokes which benefit the person being exposed to a prank.

For example: I bought a teenager a whole retail box of identical
chocolate bars, which he liked a great deal. He would eat 3-5 bars
a day from the box kept in the kitchen cupboard. After the first day,
and when the number of bars remaining in the box was not so easily
assessed, and without his being aware, I would top up the box,
occasionally with just a few more bars.
(from an identical second retail box, of which he had no knowledge)

Not too many bars, or it would make it noticeable; just enough to maintain
the status quo of the box. i.e. no matter he was eating 3-5 bars a day,
he just could not eat them all up! After a while he was giving the bars away
to his friends, - and still, he always had a nearly full box!

This went on for a fortnight, or so, when I was obliged to explain, he
was not going mad, nor had a "magic" box of chocolates.

Hope I don't bore you with my childish ideas. (no he did not get fat.)

jt.

I had a hard life. Had to leave home when I was only 3 years old;
- couldn't get on with my mother.

Hmmm. What a great idea. I wish someone would play that joke on me!

I wish that joke was done to me, instead of chocolate replace with a case of beer!

Click and Clack from Car Talk tell a similar prank, except they took it further. They had an employee who bragged about the high MPG his new car got. They started adding a little gas to the car each week and kept increasing the amount they added each week until the mileage got to some ridiculous figure. The owner was bubbling over with joy.

Then they started siphoning off a little gas as each week and kept increasing the amount removed. The owner went into a deeper and deeper funk.

Hi europium,

How you doing?

The BBC did the best I have seen........... The Spaghetti Tree Farm. They draped a whole Orchard with soft spaghetti and filmed it being 'harvested'!

Take care.

For two Halloweens in a row in Manhattan 1989 and 1990 or '88 '89 I was out on the town and ran out of cash. All of the ATMs all over town quit working.

Never read of it in the papers.

Everyday is Trick or Treat!

Hello Transcendian,

It would have been a real treat if you had tried an ATM, asked for $100, and got $1000?

Take care.

Don't worry, I won't tell anybody you are French.
