Last Friday some friends and I were laughing over some of Gary’s antics. A good laugh is good for me right now, in the midst of some ‘darker’ days. Since a “cheerful heart doeth good like a medicine” here’s 10 more…
As we were all posing pretending to be "interested in something" off to the left, Gary looked the opposite way, just as the photo was snapped to point out the "fake" pose of everyone else. It's not that great of a picture, but I've chuckled every time I see it. (Zion National Park, 1977)
Carefully place one of your dirty socks on your wife’s pillow once she’s asleep so it can be there all night.
Tie a smoke detector in the engine area of your friends’ car so when up to freeway speed, the rushing air, sets it off, but stopped when they pulled over to figure out what the sound was coming from.
Place a brown, sheepskin on your back and while growling, crawl quickly into the kitchen where your mother is cooking dinner.
When packing your daughter’s sack lunch, make their P.B.& J. on a hot dog bun to embarrass her.
Put a “Bed Wetting Solutions” brochure on your friend’s car windshield in the church parking lot.
While your wife is standing in the front yard, wait till someone is walking down the street, and shout “HELLO THERE” in a woman’s voice and then quickly duck behind the hedge so your wife looks like an idiot.
During your friends’ wedding reception, take a beanbag chair, and empty it in the “get-away” car, a VW.
Leave the following message on your friend’s phone machine: “This is the clinic calling, and your report was positive. Please make an appointment to come in as soon as possible.”
Bring a bag of black, plastic ants to weddings and nonchalantly place a few on the cake table.
Put a rubber band around the kitchen sink spray nozzle to depress the button, so when anyone turns on the water they will get a shower.
There’s plenty more AND a bunch of “Retribution Pranks” played on Gary too, for another time. If you remember one, maybe you’d like to share it, if you’re not too embarrassed, that is.
