Paper,
Paper!
I spent some time
at the college working as part of the maintenance staff. One of my
first jobs was to collect trash and recyclables in the administration building
each night. Many of the offices had paper shredders which needed
to be emptied several times a week. After awhile of noticing the
large volume of shredded paper I was removing weekly I began to think that
there had to some way to use the paper for a prank, so I began to collect
it in bags.
I showed my growing collection to a friend who was generally the one to
organize most pranks and we soon came up with an idea. Our target
would someone's jeep. We recruited some help and rounded up supplies.
We began to collect newspapers, scrap paper from the recycling boxes, old
phone books, any any other good paper we could find.
When it came time to execute the prank, we got a hold of a paper shredder
and holed up in an empty dorm room to go to work. We shredded paper
for several hours, filling large trash bags and probably giving the poor
shredder more use than it was ever intended to get. We filled bag
after bag and had enough to completely fill the jeep and then continue
to stuff it in. What a blast! Imagine how excited we were when
we found all of the shredded paper stuffed into bags and sitting on top
of the dumpster. We could have done it all over again or found a
new use for it, but sometimes you just get too busy and some things have
to be let go. |
