What's the funniest joke you've played.

Getting ready for school reunion...30 years..er. I was reminded of the joke my friend Greg and I pulled. It was going to be our senior prank.

I guess they still do it, but the entire high school would gather in the auditorium for assembly for different things, but this was to watch the band put on a show.

In a back hallway there was an access door to the rafters above the stage, so we crawled up there on the catwalk. With us we took a big bag of feathers from a pillow and a rubber chicken on a rope.

With all grades in, several hundred people, the band started. We waited for awhile, then started dropping one feather at a time every few minutes. Seemed no one noticed for a while, but finally band members started looking up and a few giggles on faces. We would drop a few more and could hear laughs..

It was time to escape, so the rubber chicken on the rope was let go and swung hitting several in the band and we dumped the whole bag of feathers..Mass laughter...

We didn't escape, good old Coach was looking through the access door. He was laughing stating he knew we were up there. We hid behind ducts. He finally got a flashlight and came in and spotted us...He was cool, laughing, said one of the funniest things he'd ever seen. Course he knew pranks and the first feather that fell teachers were already blocking us in.

The band went on. Our punishment was the VP paddled us in front of all in the assembly. Worse for Greg, when the VP hit him the first lick..he laughed, trying to be cool. The next lick with the thick wood paddle was damn hard.. Greg said clearly " Gawd damn that hurt...he got suspended 3 days for cussing. I just took it calmly. I guess if he did that today he would be arrested.

As far as I know we were the only two people to ever get paddled in high school and we never heard the end of it.
