Evil Prank
This wasn't my prank but it was hilarious nonetheless.
A university friend of mine, had been with his girlfriend for years and together they had, had a son.
But that didn't stop the dirty dog, playing the field and he ended up sleeping with his best mates woman.
Instead of going mad, his best mate decided to get even.
So a few days after finding out, cool as you like, he told his pal that his girl was pregnant.
The poor fellow, knowing he'd been unsheathed at the point of impact went into meltdown.
He smoked 20 fags in 20 minutes as the grim reality hit home.
But instead of putting him out of his misery, the best mate, waited three months before telling him the truth.
The poor bugger, who had been losing sleep over the matter was so relieved, he couldn't be angry.
But needless to say, he never played the field again.

» That's me on TV!

Not me..
But a few friends happened to be near the MTV building when MTV Live with Donna Air was on.
After hastily constructing signs saying: "Donna Air-Head," and: "Insert Brain Here" with a nicely placed arrow they got on the mobile phones to another friend viewing at home.
Each time she came on up went the signs - much to the amusement of everyone.
It wasn't long before someone tipped of Ms Air who looked suitably embarrassed and upset which really just encouraged my friends.
As they were standing on the street there was nothing MTV could do either.
Shortly after that however, they stopped filming in front of the street.
Not really TV stardom, but amusing nonetheless.

Now it's a funny anecdote..
It was Summer of 2000 when as a student I decided to go and teach English to kids for the Summer.
My destination Israel for three weeks then Palestine for another three.
Things were a bit safer back then but not much safer.
I was definitely a lot more naive.
So when my Palestinian friend, Khalid asked if I'd like to go clubbing with him and his pals, I didn't think twice about jumping into the BMW.
'Nice motor,' was all I thought.
After a great night clubbing in Israel, we crossed through the heavily guarded checkpoint for the second time, when I asked.
'This is a nice car,' I said.
'Must have been expensive.'
'Oh no,' Khalid replied, laughing.
'It was free.'
'Free,' I said.
'Yousif stole it last night in Israel and brought it back.'
I started to sweat.
'And if the border guards had noticed?'
'You would have had to duck,' he laughed.
'Why didn't you tell me,' I replied, half angry, half relieved.
After all, I was in the back seat, the first to get shot to pieces.
'Well if I'd told you, you would never have come.'
I had to appreciate the logic, but to this day I still wonder how close I came to ending up in a bullet riddled stolen car somewhere in Palestine.

Halloween.
A uni friend of mine, was a little unhinged and told our friends that he had beaten me up for shagging his girlfriend, both of which were complete bollocks.(his girlfriend was rough as old boots and he couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag)
Slightly miffed about this, I decided to call his house and play the 'halloween' song, from a doll which my girlfriend had, down the phone to him.
He started effing and blinding down the phone, which amused me greatly.
So I decided to do it again and again and again, at all times of day and night.
It got so bad, that he got the police to put a trace on the line.
But he told me about it, so I called him from payphones.
Eventually after a few months I got bored and the calls stopped, but only after he'd apologised profusely and admitted to our friends that he had made it all up.
Never did tell him either.
