A couple of my cousins have a long history of playing practical jokes on each other - but, as we've gotten older and wiser - the jokes have gotten quite big.
Last weekend "Mollie" calls to say that "Jacquie & Leigha" have struck again. When she got up and went out the front door to read the paper on the porch, there were 400 plastic white forks sticking out of her lawn. Now, "Mollie" didn't count them - the culprits admitted that's how many they had bought at the dollar store. I'd post a pic but haven't put it on the computer yet. Yesterday "Mollie" had to stop at the store and I waited in the car because she needed to just grab some plastic wrap. She came out with 15 boxes! She won't say what it's for but I am sure "Jacquie & Leigha" will fill me in soon.

Man this is one time I'm glad I live where I do. Too far away to be a victim. lol Missed you guys this last weekend at the track. Jake did great. Dead last to 3rd and he was pouring oil the whole time. Looked like a chimney at the end. I kept expecting the black flag but he prevailed. It was really fun spending the day with Jake and dad. I didn't realize how much I missed times like that. Would have been great if Bob could have been there too. I saw my neice. Man has she grown! Hope all are well?

There's a show on MTV (no, I don't watch it, my kids do and told me of this one!) of high school pranks. The seniors at one school spent a couple hours one night "spooning" the school grass. Yep, they had literally thousands of plastic spoons shoved into the grass (just like your forks). The school got "spooned."

Needless to say the person who cuts the grass was NOT pleased! The principal wanted to know who was responsible, but no one would fess up or tell on the kids, so the ENTIRE SCHOOL spent an ENTIRE DAY removing all the spoons from the lawn!



I think it's funny! AND, it's good clean fun! Unlike the kids who superglued all the locks in the school -- that causes damage . . . this didn't damage anything . . .

It's a GREAT practical joke and easier to clean up than wet toilet paper in the trees!!

Going to have to keep the plastic wrap in mind for our fall rally here in Wisconsin! LOL

Thanks for the great idea!

I'm all in favor of good practical jokes, but the house wrapping and RV wrapping concern me a little. I'd hate for someone to have to evacuate a house with either a carbon monoxide problem or have a fire break out and then they can't quickly exit either the house or the RV. I also see where wrapping an RV could cause either a build-up of CO or a fire if a vent were to be covered.

Keep it safe!

Commercial grade Shrinkwrap works better than Glad when Wrapping a House!

How do I Know This!!! HA Ha Ha!

It Is also Cheaper!



Hmmm, maybe shrink wrapping a RV is in order for the "right" person at a rally.


Oh, a great idea! We did get one of the GA fans, once; we turned his GA flag (he was flying proudly) upside down... it flew all weekend like that. When he went to take it down, he thought he had mistakenly done it.
