wind ups

[PeeBee]

Recently a friend of mine's wife had a small accident in his car and managed to mistake the accelerator for the brake. This lead to her parking the car in the kitchen, doing £10k of damage to the house and needing the firebrigade to come out and do some emergency shoring up before they could get back into the house.
The next day when she came out of the house she found Richard and his kids sitting in the car wearing crash helmets.

Her revenge a couple of days later as he was leaving the house to go to work, was to line the kids up on the doorstep holding up a sign saying. Please sell something soon Daddy, we are hungry.

Not long ago I convinced a blonde colleague of mine that dusters were yellow because originally they had been made from canary feathers which are brilliant at collecting dust, similarly, in olden days peasants used to clean their chimneys by dropping a live chicken down it knocking off the soot on the way down and still having the chicken for the pot later, I went on to explain that in bigger houses this didn't work and that they used to lower a sheep on a rope to clean the chimneys and that what we now know as a Chimney Sweep started of as a Chimney sheep.

So what wind ups have you inflicted on friends?

I once told a friend that the so called "5th Beatle" was infact John Cleese

I've told every woman I've been out with that I'm good in bed.

I bet that wind up doesn't 'stand up' for long though!

I convinced someone that chips from the local Chinese take-away were fried in Beetle-juice. Dunno how I came up with it but she believed it for quite a while.

Also conviced an ex that I was colour blind, again dunno why - seemed a funny idea at the time !!

I managed to convince a friend there were spider crabs down the sewers to keep them clean!

A now ex and I kept getting nagged about when we would get married (when hell freezes over was the oft used response!). Eventually, we decided that we would do a bit of a wind up. We were on holiday, and had the whole group involved in a fake wedding. Pictures of us drinking 'champagne', me in a posh frock, a borrowed ring, a cake - it was a lot of fun. Then on the plane on the way home, some bright spark decided to tell the cabin crew that we had got married the previous evening. We were given a bottle of champagne on the plane

By the time we landed, everyone was offering congratulations, wanting to see the ring (i'd had to return it to its rightful owner!), and all manner of stuff. It was really hard to keep a straight face, but it just made us look really happy.

But this is true !

I keep telling men I just want them for their bodies

Being Miss F-ing Gullible I'm usually the one on the receiving end of the wind up but I know for a fact it dissolves back into the body and doesn't cause a dangerous build up

I looked in a dictionary for a while and threw it down saying what a pile of poo it was. My colleague asked why and I replied "it hasn't got gullible in it". He checked and found it for me.

Just after I went to secondary school I had to write an essay on Albert Einstein - I asked my brother where he came from and he and our Dad convinced me that he was from Ireland. I was OK about it until it was read out at school
