Wedding japes!
Aged 17, I headed to a family wedding. As the bride was from Halifax, the family travled down and stayed at the hotel where the reception was.

The hotel had one of those letter board things, plastic letters slot into little grooves in board to spell out words. This was the first time I had been confronted by this space age technology. It was also the first time I had champagne. The combination of these factors led to me having the greatest idea for a prank. A grown up prank that my uncles would nod at in approval. The subtle prank that most people would miss. A prank that would elevate me from a nephew, grandson or boy, to the shores of manhood.

I was going to make rude words on the board! Scoping the area, I found the spare letters left carlessly on a desk, no staff around to notice, I pokected a pair of N's in preperation. Quickly checking the coast was clear I approached the board. "A Walker and Walker wedding." was set in silver effect plastic. (It's just coincidence, it wasn't one of "Those" weddings.) Well it didn't read that for long. Soon, guests were welcomed to "A Wanker and Wanker wedding." I retreated to a safe distance to admire my handy work. The first person to notice fell into fits of laughter. Sadly, it was my cousin, not an adult. Indeed when the adults began to notice, they didn't seem amused. They seemed cross that some one was messing with the special day, my work was quickly removed, my joke lost.

In retrospect, it wasn't big, it wasn't clever, and it wasn't true. The happy couple wern't wankers, I never beloved they were. I just assumed naughty words were funny at all times, weddings included.

I was also sick outside the hotel that night. Not realy vandalism, but it did somewhat detract from the rather grand looking hotel.

Marvellous
This would rival the Famous Five for hijinx. (I hate flat out vandalism, this one just tickles me).
