My friends and I have a tradition of plotting elaborate practical jokes on each other. Unfortunately, I usually don't have time to enjoy mine before they get me back...I am easy to 'get'.
example...during a get together to commiserate over an awful day, we decided to 'redecorate' Marlene's house while she was at work to cheer overselves up. She has a lovely farmhouse with a big porch with gorgeous hanging baskets of flowers all along the front. We redistributed the baskets at various spots (swingset, trees, chicken coop etc.) and departed for our homes chuckling at the thoughts of her consternation. My phone rings and it's Marlene crying, because her husband is enraged and flipping out over what the 'rotten kids' down the street did to the baskets and he is heading down to their place to have it out with the neighbors. Of course, I confess instantly and am hollering "TELL HIM IT WAS ME!" on the phone, she is sobbing saying he is already walking down the road to the neighbors, so I jump in my car to head him off. I don't see him anywhere on the road so I pull up to the house and there they are on the porch laughing their fool heads off at me in bare feet with a dishtowel in hand and how easy I was to sucker.
This is just a first in a long series of strange things we do for amusement, (Don really wasn't happy when we dyed the goat green for St Patty's Day, but he got over it and became part of the crew).
Anybody else do pranks for fun???
