Nice job.... and I don't think it was actually the "air" that xs was pulling the names from.

Another spin-off for edification:
lachrimator = Substance that causes the shedding of tears. As in the use of chloropicrin:

"Methyl bromide is a colorless gas at room temperature and a colorless liquid .... It is odorless and nonirritating at low concentrations and has a musty or fruity odor at high concentrations. Because of its poor physiologic warning properties, up to 2% chloropicrin, a lachrimator, often is added as a warning agent."

i am pulling names out of air, as my grade book is missing.
And, as that photo of the baby shows, xsex was really just pulling her heir to get the names from her hair.

So that chemical is actually a letumakeitear, eh?

I'm really not good at jokes/pranks so I can't honestly say I've ever gotten the upper hand on anyone, but had a doozy pulled on me back in 1983.

I had been at my first job in radio news for less than 6 months in Dover. The phone ringing at 6am woke me up....it was the news director telling me to get out of bed and get downtown to the Capitol complex because an Air Force C-5 had just crashed there.

Well my dear friend Dave knew me and my habits very well.....I started throwing on clothes all the while asking him 9million questions.....then hung up to get my gear and get downtown......just as I was closing the door the phone rang again, and since this was back in the days before cell phones I had to answer it. Thank goodness I did.

You guessed it - it was him.........shouting April Fool.

It's more than 20 years later and I still haven't gotten back at him for that.

I've been tempted to pick up the phone and call him at work - but just can't think of something believable enough.

FPL is just clueless, about so many things. He lacks much and not just his or her mose.
