Great Practical Joke

True Story


I was laughing so hard today. Haven't laughed like that for quite a while.

My British friend Tom was at my house today as we were working on a project. Quite serious. He had to use the downstairs toilet. He went in, came out and got some paper towels. I immediately knew he had more business to do than number one. I had not gone shopping and there was no toilet paper in the downstairs comfort room. I had to go upstairs to get a roll of the proper stuff, versus the hand towels.

I warned him to flush often as our downstairs toilet tends to plug to the extent that we keep a plunger in that room. He was laughing a bit saying that he knew, having had to unplug it once already on Boxing Day.

Anyway, he went into the room, closed the door, and shortly thereafter started giggling. Giggling like a little girl. Laughing and giggling.

I couldn't figure out what the heck was so funny and after a short while I had the opportunity to ask Tom.

For some reason Tom was reminded of a long running practical joke he and his oldest brother Stewart used to play on their middle brother James. This joke ran for many years.

When they went traveling together, Tom and Stewart would find a way to get into James' hotel room before James checked in. They would make a deposit of solids into the toilet and then not flush, discretely leaving the room.

As Tom said: "With proper planning and preparation we knew at least one of us would be capable."

Then they would camp out in the lobby, waiting.

James would come storming down to the concierge complaining about this despicable oversight of house cleaning. James demanded that the concierge come up and look for himself.

Meanwhile Tom and Stewart were bursting with laughter at James' naive indignation.

The second time James couldn't believe this happened to him twice. He asked if anyone else had this experience. "Why always me?" he mused out loud.

At one point I believe he was considering asking for a discount on the room rental.

The fourth time Tom and/or Stewart secured one of those toothpicks that bars put in olives in martinis. It had a little Philippine flag in it. This they planted in the log. Only then did James realize it was his two brothers.

Not bad at all.
