Hello Bob,

>LL>Your talking about somebody who was very much into playing practical
>LL>jokes on just about everybody.  But that was my younger self.  My
>LL>much younger self.  :)

>LL>Go to a dollar store, and buy a cheap alarm clock.  On Sunday, go to a
>LL>local church.  Doesn't matter what denomination.  Be sure to get
>LL>there before anybody else.  Set the alarm to go off when the priest
>LL>or minister is giving his/her sermon.  Strategically place the alarm
>LL>underneath a pew, or somewhere far away from yourself where it will
>LL>not easily be spotted.  When alarm clock goes off, act as surprised
>LL>as everybody else.  Watch the mayhem develop. Do not expect to
>LL>retrieve the alarm clock.  :)

BA>Heh.  I'm surprised I survived my childhood.  I pulled a similar stunt on my
BA>dad back in the 50s.  We had an alarm clock that was loud enough to be a
BA>fire alarm, I set it for 3 am and put it under his side of the bed.  Once.

Try doing that at a Baptist revival and watch the congregation and the
good reverend go nuts.  Just be sure not to laugh too hard else you'll
get caught.  :)

BA>When dual controls for electric blankets came out in the late 50s I switched
BA>the controls on my parents' bed - knowing full well that dad liked it off an
BA>mom liked it toasty warm.  That night mom couldn't get warm and kept turning
BA>the control on her side up, and dad was baking and had the control on his si
BA>turned all the way down.

I would not recommend using electric blankets down here in the swamps.
Besides, it's toasty warm enough here as it is - with more than enough
water vapor and humidity to drown you, not to mention the guarantee of
electrocution. :)
