What’s the funniest thing that ever happened to you?
I once got pranked on the phone where a friend of mine called and told me I won the Publishers Clearing House sweepstakes. Got another phone prank with a Z93 wake up call at 3AM.  I have had friends poke a hole in my beer can and wound up getting soaked!  Once fell off my horse drunk in slow motion..(was a good laugh for everyone).  Oh and I once had someone put anti-sieze on the ear piece of my phone at work then I answered it and got guess what all over my ear… it was a huge mess.  I have also had various signs and tails on my back at work.  And I had a sign taped to the back of my truck on my tailgate for my birthday and a 20 foot long streamer flowing behind off my trailer hitch.  I COULD GO ON AND ON, BUT THERE’S NOT ENOUGH ROOM HERE….(laughs)
