My earlier post about the leaking faucet reminded me of a prank my kids
pulled on my wife many, many years back. Perhaps it'll inspire you to
have some fun as well. Back then, our kitchen sink had a typical
faucet, with a separate dish sprayer. My kids decided to place rubber
bands around the thumb lever of the dish sprayer, so that it was
continually on. When placed in the sink opening, it was almost
impossible to notice the rubber bands.

The next morning, Mrs. Nonny went to the sink to fill the coffee maker,
fliping on the cold water. Rather than running out the faucet, the
water sprayed horizontally from the dish sprayer, hitting her in the
face and chest. It was not something she expected or appreciated. Of
course, both kids were grounded. . . and that lasted about 30 seconds.

My oldest brothers alarm clock was set to a radio station and at full
volume. He would take 5 minutes to actually shut it off or hit the
sleep button. One morning I took my FM mike, tuned it to his favorite
radio station, and clipped the antenna to the plumbing. Like normal his
radio was blasting away and between commercials I turned on the FM mike.
Then talking like they did on FM in the 80's, soft, smooth and mellow,
I picked todays $1000 winner. Yes it was my brother. I ran the phone
number passed real fast. I heard all kinds of noise and banging around
from his bedroom. When he told us what happened and I explained my
role, besides being ****ed off, he said he got up and in his confusion
ran into a brick wall looking for a pen to write down the phone number.
;-) 35 years later he still tells people that story, and well I suppose
I do also.
