5. Unlucky Thieves
As brothers do, they take care of each other. In this case, the older one had wheels and lent his vehicle, a Jeep, to the younger so he could go on a date. Later that evening, the older brother was working his shift at the only all-night gas station in the area. At 1:00 a.m., the younger brother called the older and said, “I left the keys in the Jeep and it’s gone. Somebody stole your Jeep!” While he was still on the phone, guess what drove into the gas station?! Luckily, the gas gauge on the Jeep was busted and always pointed to E, so the thieves pulled in to fill up…right in front of the owner. The older brother played it cool. He tripped the silent alarm and then went to do his job. He filled the tank of his own vehicle. The two thieves stepped out, and the attendant quickly pocketed the keys from the ignition. When the pump shut off, the two hoods argued over who had the keys. That gave the police enough time to arrive. After the attendant explained to the two officers what happened, the police laughed really, really hard while the two stunned thieves sat cuffed in the squad car.
6. Freshman Revenge
When a college freshman was put in the upper-class dorm, he immediately became the target for pranks and jokes. But this freshman was no pushover. He bided his time, and then winter hit. From his dorm window on the top floor, he saw a bunch of guys having a snowball fight below. He knew his neighbors were not home and it was time for payback. Cue the Mission Impossible theme music. He went to the roof and hung over the slippery edge. Reaching down, he pushed open his neighbor’s windows. He returned to his apartment and taunted the guys in the courtyard, four floors below, and then he hid. Seeing the open windows above, the snowballers figured the voice came from there. Taking aim, the group spent the next 20 minutes happily launching snowball after snowball through the opened windows. Everything inside got soaked. And the freshman got a good laugh.
