Hard to imagine, I know…
I used to be a serial prankster when I was a kid teenager all my life. One of Kathy Howe's photos reminded me of one of my all-time favorite pranks.

(Kids, try this at home, it's really fun. Really!)

  1. Tear two 1-2 inch squares off a paper napkin

  2. Take the lids off of the salt and pepper shakers

  3. Pour salt into one of the napkin squares

  4. Pour pepper into the other napkin square

  5. Put the salt napkin square into the pepper shaker and screw on the lid

  6. Put the pepper napkin square into the sale pepper shaker and screw on the lid


The trick to this is that you have to have a fairly full salt and pepper shaker, so nobody would see the napkin piece. Fortunately, most restaurants are on top of their game with the salt and pepper shakers.

Unfortunately, I was never around to watch the hi jinx begin. But my vivid imagination told me that it would be really funny when someone thought they were putting salt on their food and out came the pepper.

Sad, isn't it? Sad that something like this still cracks me up?

Well, I guess the good news is that this sort of thing kept me out of trouble.

Then again, I guess the word 'trouble' is relative.

I'm not a serial prankster, but I love to a good one.
The best prank I have heard about was done by my friend. She lived in a small town (D), and the neighboring town (F) was the football arch rivals. The DHS kids went to the FHS football field in the middle of the night. They laid down a large DHS stencil on the grass and spread fertilizer inside the D. Thats it. They went home. The FHS football field was carefully watered with the automatic sprinklers, and a few weeks later, the DHS began to grow in darker and healthier. Right in the middle of the FHS football field grew these initials of the arch rival's team! The caretaker tried several things to fix it including fertilizing all between the letters and making it into an F. But nothing worked. I don't think in that day there was sod available. That would have been the easiest fix. So for the whole season, my friend and her buddies would see the DHS proudly displayed, and it stayed there, gradually fading for about 3 years afterwards, no matter what they tried to do.

Hmm. Back in 1965 I was proudly thrown out of Dennys in Anaheim for doing this with the shakers.
