I always liked the extreme gas mileage prank...

In the 60s I heard about a guy whose friend got a VW bug, and bragged about the gas mileage he was sure to get. His friend repeatedly added gas to the unlocked tank (under the front hood; I think the hood had a simple push-button handle), and the guy swore he was getting 100 miles per gallon, or some such.

HA that's funny.. Must be a busy area to have so many cars passing so early in the morning. {nm} Dorfman Jun 12, 12:47

when pulling a prank like this, one car driving by is nerve-racking! {nm} lobogotti Jun 12, 13:15

Uh stocking 1000 plastic forks in someone's yard is a prank. Methinks you've crossed into criminal trespassing with a psychotic edge :P {nm} islander Jun 12, 12:57

LMFAO... yeah, it was a "mean" prank for sure. I've done worse. {nm} lobogotti Jun 12, 13:15

I'm waiting for the surprise ending where the prankee accuses you of doing it a 2nd time...but you were never there!...dun dun dun {nm} tealfan Jun 12, 13:09

LOL!!! now that would be too good. {nm} lobogotti Jun 12, 13:16

Good one. Nice Touch. *Watches all your Neighbours instantly Install Security Cameras.* {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2014 Jun 12, 13:12

I've been debating it for some time now, but mostly because of my neighbor. {nm} lobogotti Jun 12, 13:16

Sorry, that's not a prank - that's being a jerk. {nm} JDolphin Jun 12, 13:54

no need to apologize, many advised me against it. I might not do it again if I had it to do over, but I probably would (just differently) {nm} lobogotti Jun 12, 13:56

Excellent Prank - Nobody got Hurt - No Damage. It's not like you took the Biebster & 24 Dozen Eggs. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2014 Jun 12, 14:03

but I could cause a heart attack or scar someone from it. the disdain that can come from it isn't worth it, but I'm an excellent friend lobogotti Jun 12, 19:37

My uncle might have inspired the Travelocity Gnome commericals... RazorHawk Jun 12, 14:47

ha! {nm} tealfan Jun 12, 15:08

this is such a great story and terrific prank. had my wife read it and she loved it. Thank you for sharing Razor. {nm} lobogotti Jun 12, 19:06

That's a great story but I thought the ads were inspired by amelie Moviesnob Jun 12, 19:39

hilarious! that would be a tad on the expensive side today. {nm} lobogotti Jun 12, 19:34

Check out the ball on Lobo! Man, you SO could have gone to jail for that bud! haha. That is awesome and so terrible at the same time. Willroast Jun 12, 21:50

Like you Lobo, I enjoy a good prank. I've done many small ones back in my hospitaltiy days. But I do have one big one (though different)... Willroast Jun 13, 03:11
