Excellent!
I love practical jokes and have pulled off several great ones.
I read about this one a few months ago and still laugh
My most elaborate was building a wall at a friends house while they were on vacation. The wall separated the bedrooms from the rest of the house. It was a real wall. Studs, drywall, mud, paint.
We also had a video camera to record their reaction. It was great.
Wife and I were in Sitka a month and half ago visiting our Coast Guard family and heard about this. We thought it hilarious. Today the guy would be in jail.
I remember a school teacher telling of a similar incident sometime back in the 1930s or 40s.
Capulin volcano in New Mexico, one windy spring had filled the crater with tumbleweeds. The park managers decided to burn them out and informed everyone around, also had radio broadcasts of what was going to happen.
One family did not get the word and woke up to the mountain smoking and fire coming out the crater.
The teacher said they got out of there so fast they destroyed the four tires on their car and were running away on the rims.
Our sense of humor has changed much since just the 70’s. Not for the better in most cases, IMO. This guy was a hoot!
