My
brother-in-law had a fondness for pranks. One Christmas he came up with a great
one. He wrapped packages in a variety of sizes and "accidentally" dropped them
here and there throughout the day in front of his father’s house, where we were
celebrating the holiday. He also had a camcorder set up in one of the windows
to catch what was bound to happen. Did I fail to mention there was nothing but
paper (to give them a little weight) in these "gifts" that he wrapped? By the
end of the day he had a great deal of footage of people walking by and, some
discreetly, some at break-neck speeds, snagging these "gifts" off the front
walk and undoubtedly hustling home to see what they had scored. I remember
wishing that he had put a note in these "gifts" so when they were opened the
recipient would know that it was a joke. There was only one sweet little old
lady who came to the door to give him the gift that had been misplaced,
everyone else took the spirit of Christmas and ran.
