Not all pranks go as funny as we planned. Some even go horribly awry! Case in point...

   I used to work atta local snobby country club, that was open pretty late, even into the winter. I was a busboy (see my June '91 ESPN Extreme Bussing tape, for those that missed it the first time around when it aired at 4:00 am.) and, anyhoo, one cold, February night, I thought it would be funny to hide Liz, a waitress's coat in the freezer. That way, when she got ready to leave, her coat would be freezing cold as she headed into the even colder night. Hoo-haw, funny stuff.
   It would of been a story to make milk spurt out of your nose, had my boss not decided that after a 10-hour workday, I could go home early. I got so excited, I just headed out the door, not telling Liz where her coat was. (camera fades to next day)
   I arrive the next day to have Millie, the cleaning lady tell me some wild story about how Liz and her mom came in at 7:00 am, looking for Liz's coat. Liz's mom was *furious* As it turns out, Liz thought someone had stolen her coat, and took off with it. The big question was, which one of her so-called friends at the club would do such a thing to her? I'm sure she had plenty of time to think about it. She searched the club for over an hour before calling home and having her mom pick her up (her car keys were in her coat as well) Getting a phone call at 11:30 in the night to drive out into the boonies and pick someone up isn't the best way to wake up. The rest of the night was spent with Liz in tears, retelling the story to her mom, before she finally managed to cry herself to bed at around 6:00 am. (She had to get up at 8:00 for college.)
   When I heard the whole tale, and the trouble I had caused, I felt.. well, kinda sheepish, to say the least. To this day, if I ran into Liz, and brought that wacky night up, I don't think she'd laugh. Prolly just belt me in the stomache, like she did the first time I confessed to doing it. :oP
