This thread > http://motorbicycling.com/f28/mythbusters-turd-polishing-12849.html prompted me to start this one.
Come on guys, fess up. What were some of the pranks you pulled as kids? I'll start this one off, and I hope no one from my old neighborhood is reading this.
We had a grumpy old guy who apparently hated kids. He was always calling the cops on us and yelling at us from his front yard. One night we made a cigarette bomb with cherry bombs, stuck it in the top of one of his palm trees, hid and waited down the street. When the cigarette lit the fuse, the cherry bombs went off and blew the entire top out of a twenty foot palm tree. Cops came, naturally, and inspected the damage but we were gone by then. I think about that today and wonder how I'd feel about having one of my trees destroyed by a bunch of teenaged roudys... Mr. Purdy...I apologize.
