So this is great! An old friend of mine sent me a text today about an incident that occured to him yesterday that had my name written all over it!

When I was in high school, I spent a good bit of my free time riding around and hanging out in the parking lot of a local shopping center. That's where my friendship with Michael began. Michael was always making us laugh with his sarcastic sense of humor and blunt personality. I spent a lot of time hanging out with Michael because I LOVE to laugh and he was great at making me do so!

One night Michael and I had been hanging out and riding around with a couple of other friends and Michael had this fantastic idea of a practical joke. He pulled us into the local McDonald's parking lot and dialed their number on his cell phone. He parked us up at the window so we can see inside the entire restaurant. The manager answered the phone and Michael proceeded to tell him that he had just dropped a big one and needed some toilet paper because the stall he was in was out. I LOST IT! I had no idea what he had up his sleeve, but I would have never dreamed that was going to come out of his mouth. We sat and watched as one of the (female) staff walked into the men's restroom with a huge roll of toilet paper. We could not stop laughing the entire time. Once she realized there was no one in the restroom, she came back out carrying the same huge roll of tp, shrugging her shoulders. The prank was a success! I have NEVER forgotten it.

TODAY I received a text from Michael. It was a little random because we don't talk as much as we used to since he moved out of town to persue a management position. It just so happens that he is now the general manager of a Wendys. SO guess what happened to him yesterday....yup, that's right, someone called him from their restroom because they had dropped a bomb and needed toilet paper. Here's the great thing, it WASN'T a prank. Someone really needed toilet paper. Unfortunately for bomb dropper, Michael recalled his own prank and was a little hesitant to send one of his employees into the restroom with a roll of tp for this disgruntled patron. Finally he sent someone in the restroom to go to that poor man's rescue.

My only regret is that I hadn't remembered this prank sooner and called him myself!
