...when I was around 13 I got hold of a long bamboo stick, wrapped a bunch of rags around the tip, attached a Halloween mask to it. I could barely hold it up high enough to reach the second story of this house where my friend lived. It was about 9 at night, late October, but warm......their window was open and the screen was still in.
I sort of “bounced” this stick along side of the house till I got just next to the window......little did I know their dog heard this scuffing and was sitting there looking out the window and growling (hearing the noise). I couldn’t tell from my angle, if anyone else was also looking out the window...so I maneuvered this long stick out, over and then in against the screen....well, all hell broke loose...the dog let out a horrible yelping like it got whipped and left a pee trail through their house, my friend was just coming to the window when the dog went nutzo and fell backward over an end table, his mother let out a blood awful scream.....I was looooong gone, pole held like a pole vaulting pole running as fast as I could down the street, I never admitted to nothing...*smiles*...but heard the results the next day.
I'm still laughing over the dog. Not on such a grand scale but there's a tiny little bird that always gives Mr. b heck when he's trying to fill the bird feeder. He likes the bird because he's a little Napoleon who fusses at all the other birds, even chases the big crows away from his feeder. Last week, the little guy was so busy eating that he didn't notice Mr. b sneak up behind him. When he turned around, he saw Mr. b a foot from him, he let out a squawk, fell off the perch with a couple somersaults and scrambled so fast to fly outta there that he lost a bunch of feathers. It scared him so much that he didn't come back until yesterday.
So bad! Lol!
