Practical Joking 101 - "Entry Level"



Gary's friend, Isaac visited us this week, and we had a great time remembering fun times.  He brought up one of Gary's jokes that I had forgotten.  It's an easy one, that anyone can do and it only costs 25 cents.


This is the front door of our old house.  At one of our yard sales probably around 2000, some coins got away from us, and rolled across the porch.  We all went scrambling to pick them up, but Gary, of course always on a different track, went for the epoxy.  He he came back and glued one of the quarters down to the porch right where he found it.  .

I wish I had a good photo of it, but believe me, there is a little speck there just to the left of the door, and it is a quarter.  It has been there forever, and for all I know, it still is.

I wish I HAD a quarter, (or even a dime, or a nickle) for every time someone tried to pick it up over the years. 

Many thanks to Isaac for making me smile.

    What a fun story to recollect! Was it part of Gary's long-term memory do you think?

    Hugs and prayers,
    Carol

      I think it would be far enough back for him to remember, but I couldn't tell if he was tracking with the conversation. Anyway, we laughed about it, and he seemed to recognize our friend, so he may have remembered.
