    I got pranked by my son's friend's mom, which in turn led me to prank my boy but good.

    My son goes to camp in Vermont every September. This year his friend is old enough to go, and they dithered until the last minute, but finally registered him. Then I got an email from his mom today that said she received an email from camp that said it was FULL and he didn't get in.

    When I sympathized with her via email, she waited a couple of hours and then told me it was just a prank. I had a good laugh, then went outside to find my son.

    I told him camp was canceled.

    He almost cried, so I had to fess up right away!

    I am the "webmaster" or our local cycling club (yahoo group) & I posted today's ride with a start time of 5:15 p.m. & distance at 150 miles. I had two emails from club members asking if 1. it was accurate and 2. if we could finish that distance if we didn't start until 5:15!!!

    Nice one! You just made me think of a bunch of good ones a person could pull in a hospital (having these fictitious people paged overhead):
    "Angie O'Plasty, to the cath lab, stat!"
    "Billy Rubin, to the liver transplant unit"
    "Vee Tac to telemetry, please."
    etc.

    Nice one

    That one woman sure wasn't the brightest bulb in the box, though...

    That one woman would have made the prank entirely worthwhile for me, but then, I like to get under uptight peoples skin - kind of like a hobby!

    NICE!!

    Boy, I would really like to read her emails!
