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.
