I have more....
At school in order get the school bully back i put a drawing pin pointing up on his wooden desk seat. Unknown to me he was not at school that morning and a girl i had a crush on decided to sit at his desk. However she didn't sit down but knelt down instead.I can still hear the screams and crying nearly 40 years on.
As i was getting out of a lift in a big department store i did what us boys did and crushed a stink bomb under my foot just as the doors were opening at the floor i needed. However the doors jammed and only opened about 5 inches. I was seen by the shoppers red faced gasping for air through the gap while they tried to force the doors but were kept being beaten back by the stench of rotten eggs.
I was in my garden making rude noises to my neighbour over her hedge. She went in and a few minutes later my mum received a phone call and shouted out to me "Have you been blowing raspberrys to Mrs Smith?" I misheard and shouted back "Where the heck would i get raspberrys to throw at her?"
Back in the late 60's i discovered chewing gum and had great fun pulling it out my mouth, swinging it around, stretching it and putting it back in my mouth.One day however a gust of wind blew a great big 4 foot long stretch of gum onto the wing of our red Austin 1100, virtually from the headlight to the windscreen. It immediatey 'welded ' itself to said wing and no amout of fingers, fingernails or a wooden ice lolly stick would shift it.Some sort of chemical reaction had happened and it wasn't going anywhere. I stayed away from the car for a few hours panicking until Dad decided he wanted some photos of me and the car. I had to drape my timy frame over as much of the front wing as i could and held my arms out in a Jesus Christ pose in order to cover up the gum. Luckily the camera wasn't zoom, but i could see his puzzled face at my crucifiction stance.
