Year: 2017

While in high school, two friends and I came up with a poorly conceived plan to steal a 15 foot tall giant chicken bolted to the roof of a local restaurant. We were going to place it in the school gymnasium as the ultimate senior prank. We waited till dark and somehow managed to get the chicken off the roof and load it into the bed of the truck. We drove approximately 300 feet, hit a pot hole, and watched the chicken bounced out of the back of the truck and land in the middle of a busy intersection. Since, we were too scared that we would get caught, we just drove off.

Who would have guessed 16 year old boys don’t plan things out very well? We never tied it down. Whenever I think back to that night, I give myself a good chuckle. It would have been epic if we had managed to pull it off.

When I was around, 22, my older brother called me one day and asked Hey, what’s the trick to boiling an egg? WHAAAAT??? My answer. Place egg in water, turn on stove top, wait 10 minutes for magic to happen.

When I was in high school, on one particular cold day in December, my best friend, Mike Brewer, called me and said I missed the bus can you pick me up? I can’t afford to be late and miss my exams. Sure, I told him. Just wait out by the bus stop and I’ll be right over. Then, I drove straight to school. He showed up 3 hours later, frozen and very pissed off. He had to beg teachers to let him take the tests. At the time, I thought I was so clever and laughed my arse off. In hindsight, I was quite foolish because REAL friends are actually hard to find.
