well, my father tells of (at age 14-15) disassembling (with friends) a farmers buggy one Halloween, and reassembling it on the roof of his shed ..Then next day, they went round to take a look, and the farmer, seeing some agile youths...*grin*...hired them to get it down again! (he said he always thought the farmer really knew)

But here is someone else's prank that impacted me....first, look at this pic...Morrison Hall, Wichita State Univ

see the clock tower?Note the colors!... (it has 4 faces..can be seen from all over campus). In the mid to late 1960s, that clock was white, with black hands. Some art students found it irreistable, and one morning, all 4 faces were noticed to have Mickey Mouse painted on them!..well, after a few days, it was re-painted....but several months later, it happened again, and again was duly re-painted...When it happened a third time the next year, meetings were held...(Morrison Hall was becoming known as Mickey Mouse Hall)

So..it was decided to paint the face black, and the hands white, making it VERY hard to paint a visable mouse on it. ...BUT..it also made the hands, which were lit at night by curved neon lights mounted around the edge, hard to see at night...so..the electricians were asked to re-mount the neon lights down INSIDE the inset clock faces, where they would illuminate the hands better...

Now, at this time I was working at building & grounds as a student asst. in the carpentry dept....and my boss came up to me and my buddy, Dwain, who also worked there. Boss was grinning...seems the new location of the clock hands was a problem...the minute hand would now not clear the neon tubes! WHAT to DO!??..the answer was..my buddy & I got to go up the inside of that tower..out onto the roof, bearing a BIG pair of bolt cutters...and circumcise all 4 minute hands! Took off about 3"...and for years I kept those aluminum hand tips in my dresser. Ah, memories!!
