One Very funny prank...

This is another practical joke story from the king of practical jokes... But this time I was in on the planning end not the receiving end.... lol



The Background:


My friend Stephanie came over to my house to use my treadmill since it was to cold outside. She was use to running outside and to my knowledge had never run on a treadmill before. I blindly assumed that she knew what she was doing... However, if you are not used to running on a treadmill, you should go a little slower than you are used to running with your own motivation... Stephanie, had my machine cranked to 8 mph when "something happened. . . . I don't know what. . . ." she fell!!! She acquired nine very colorful, very painful bruises. Now there is now way I'm going to let this ride... :-)


Soooooo when this opportunity came up a few weeks later, I could not let it pass by... Daryl Quesenberry called me up to be the inside contact. The original night of this joke was Monday night but the mission was aborted. So Tuesday night it was the official night of the joke. I was in Stephanie's room talking with her and another friend, Susie. When she received a phone call from a number that she didn't know... Mysterious.... LOL The voice on the other end of the told Stephanie to go outside the girls dorm. (hopefully I will be able to post the video of the discovery of the gift soon)
A set up picture....





Upon arriving outside she stumbled upon the gift... Laughing hysterically the whole time we discovered the Washburn MANUAL stressmill.... Which was equipped with the latest redneck safety devices: torso, knee and shin, posterior, elbow, hand, head and chin protectors. Oh there were emergency guidelines, phone number lists and a first aid kit... Did I mention the landing pad (an inflatable twin mattress) which was positioned behind the stress mill just to break a possible tumble. There was also a device that you grip with your teeth or your gums... whichever you have... and it calls 911 for you if you fall...





It was a very funny prank and no one was hurt physically or emotionally in the production of this prank... And lets just say that the half has not been told.... I will be trying to post more pictures and a clip or two of some of the funniness...
