Pranking with Fanna and Falaina

I have perfected the trade of a prankster for the past score of my life. Through trial and error I have learned a few techniques that may help any novice that is considering taking up pranking as a hobby or pastime. So, grab a pen and paper and take notes, for I am about to explain my methods. There are three basic rules to stick to in pranking they are: 1. Patience, 2. Patience, and 3. More patience. Those of you who do not have the ability to wait for the opportune moment to prank, may I suggest bicycling or racquetball? Perhaps pranking is not for you.

Here is a good example of patience during pranking. My dear friend, Fanna, came down to visit her mother from the north and while she was breakfasting with her affectionate kindred I set my prank into action. I had purchased a bumper sticker from an undisclosed store three years previously to this that said the following: “Your body is a temple, mine is an amusement park!” 

I stuck it neatly to Fanna’s bumper, like so. 

I was admiring my handiwork in placing it symmetrical and centered on the bumper when I realized the tragic fact that unless Fanna does not look at the back of her car before she departed this temporary gag would be shorter lived then I wanted. So, in my haste I grabbed a camera and snapped these photos to keep for myself in my own prank scrapbook. 

How was this an act of patience? Well, I purchased the sticker three years prior to this day and was just waiting for the right moment when Fanna would be close by, unsuspecting, and distracted. I could have immediately driven north to Fanna’s home and planted the sticker at first purchase, but that would have been too much traveling and effort for this, which I consider one of my petty and benign gags.

My prediction was accurate. Fanna immediately discovered the bumper sticker and disposed of it. That is why you always take a picture. It will last longer. Even though Fanna didn’t catch me in the act, and she had no proof that it was I who committed this vandalism. She still accused me of it and threaten to have Falaina pound me if I attempted something like that ever again. Isn’t she silly? I will provide more pranking methods in the future. Stay tuned. 

Have you ever been accused of a crime or a prank that you most likely committed?
