Silly pranks

[Guywire]

One of the standard law enforcement jokes in our area during the 70's (which got quashed when the bosses finally found out about it) was to find a hitchhiker (that era's "homeless") asleep under a bush on a cold night. He would be offered a (non-arrested) warm place to sleep, then put in the backseat of another unit having coffee. They almost always curled up and went back to sleep. The pranked officers would get in their unit and drive off after their coffee. It would sometimes be a couple of hours (very quiet area at the time) before the hitchhiking "passenger" would wake up and scare the snot out of the two officers in front by sitting up and talking to them.

Obviously, the preferred hitchhikers were the ones who probably should have been arrested so that they could have gotten at least one good meal and their monthly bath.

Tororider I was between girlfriends and was spending alot of time in the shop. My Younger brother bought a 69 Caddy Miller Meteor Hurse and i was working on it. This girl I knew was trouble kept comming around to visit. And every day shed walk around the Caddy and touch the hood and say its only a car its only a car and kinda shake. I told her hop in and take it for a spin but she wouldnt. Well I had some parts in back of the hurse and the sliding glass between the drivers seat and the cargo bay. I had my suspision thatthe girl was comming over while I was gone and would look in the old car and get in the drivers seat. Well I saw her show up and get on the phone with her back turned and didnt think she knew I was there. I slipped the side door open and got in under the tarp where the AC box for the cargo and the drivers compartment are seperated. I heard her say to herself its only a car and the drivers door opened up and she plopped in the seat. I heard her say its only a car again and let her settle in and then I reahed out from under the tarp and through the sliding glass and grabbed her on the shoulder with a loud growl. She flipped out royally. She jerked the door handle like staring a chain saw and was screaming bloody murder enentually she got the big ole door pushed upen and I saw her jumping over pipe and truck parts and every thing to get away. I rolled out laughing and she came back with a kicking fit but I was still laughing to loud too hard to care. I then noticed she had the interior door hand to the caddy in her hand and had peed herself. She never came back after that.
Another good one was I was about 19 I had a call t odige a grave in a local cemetery and I loaded up the old 75 Ford hoe behind the old Ford dump and went and dug the hole. My girlfriend and her mother came to see me at work and I had the hole dug. I had thrown the astro turf over the hole for looks and hid under it in a 5 foot deep grave. When she walked past hollering for me I grabbed her foot and growled. When she got done tap dancing on my wrist I had to have it on ice till the inturment was over.
