What’s the best prank you ever pulled?
I saw this question online and thought it was a great topic. Here is one of my favorites that I was involved in.
Three of my friends and I were sitting around one day at a club we belong to when one of the guys, Tom, an excellent prankster, told us he was going to bring a new lady-friend by to visit the following Monday evening. We’re weren’t sure if he was trying to impress her or impress us. So we came up with a plan to make an impression on his new lady-friend.
He was supposed to arrive around 4:30, so Mel, Mick and I met there about 4 pm. We promptly got naked and were sitting at the bar with Bibles in our hands. Well, except for Mick…. he wouldn’t touch the Bible while naked, but he had it laid open on the bar in front of him.
Our backs were to the door coming into the bar room. Sure enough, at 4:30 Tom walks in the front door with his new date and hollers at us in the next room, “Do you guys want a beer or soda?” He was going to bring them into the bar room for us. We said “No thanks” and just waited.
We had our backs to the door so when he walked in with her trailing right behind him, all we heard was “Oh!, You don’t want to go in there!”, as we quickly heard him shuffle her out of the bar room. We started laughing. Tom and his gal peeked in again to to make sure they weren’t mistaken. They weren’t. Poor Tom didn’t know what to do. We got dressed and officially met the new date.
Tom has passed on now, but we still talk and laugh about that day and all the other pranks that we all pulled on one another.

Trash In Space
Each dot represents a bit of known space junk that’s at least 4 inches (10 cm) orbiting Earth. Note the distinctive outer ring, known as a geostationary orbit, where weather and communication satellites orbit at the same rate that the Earth turns, allowing them to remain over a single spot on Earth at all times. The concentration of dots obscuring Earth in the center of the image represent debris in low-Earth orbit. In total, some 19,000 manmade objects this size or bigger orbit Earth as of July 2009; most are in low-Earth orbit. Countless smaller objects are also circling the planet.
