Incy Wincy
In the dim and distant past of my thoroughly wasted youth, myself and a few friends used to drink to excess and end up crashing out at my Dad’s place. Said Dad is a bit of a practical joker and often bides his time while getting to know people and using this to devastating effect. On one such Saturday night he had advance warning and prepared his jolly jape with a great deal of care and artistic creativity. He knew for a fact that one of the gang was always first into the loo on arrival. We got there and sure enough Lynne was off like a greyhound. However we were suddenly greeted by hysterical screams which actually woke neighbours and had them banging on the front door. His jape? He made a fake tarantula (about a foot across) from pipe cleaners, black wool and insulating tape and hung it inside the toilet at about head height. Yup Lynne was arachnophobic and it took half a bottle of vodka to “calm” her down enough to stop the resulting flashbacks. Oh how we laughed.

Length? About 12 inches but it made her scream.
