With this joke you are really spoiling us
Once I shared a house with a group of mates who were notorious for playing practical jokes. One mate had a reputation for being really tight and at Christmas he was given a big tray of Ferro Rocher. Naturally we assumed that being good mate that he’d be soon be spoiling us with these chocolates; but being so tight he refused.

Months passed and everytime we went into his room the chocolates remained sealed in their plastic tray; mocking us. Something had to be done.

On night he out at work and the rest of us were having a bit of a drinking smoking session. As happens we had the great idea of sneaking into his room for a bit of a look round. After unscrewing the lock to his room and breaking in we discovered the chocolates – they would be ours.

Naturally after a bit of a smoke followed by a case of the munchies they didn’t last long but then the guilt kicked in. So in a moment of inspiration we decided the fill the wrappers with newspaper, put them in the box and then re-seal it with sellotape. Several days later we were called to his room; we figured we been found out. But no! He was mad that “those bastards at Ferro Rocher” had shafted him.

Almost ten years later he still mentions the time Ferro Rocher screwed him over; I haven't got the heart to tell him....
