Bandmates played a funny prank on me

P. Aaron · #1 03-25-2010, 09:45 AM

As some of you know, I a battling a blood disorder and am largely camped out at home so there's litle excitement. One day there's a mail drop.

I got up and looked and saw a magazine ad and seeing green circles, thought it was a seasonal ad for Target and figured it was for my wife (of 18 years).

That evening, I'm watchin' the tube (spankin' the bass) as everyone gets home, my wife says: "When did you subscribe to MAXIM?!!!!"

I looked again, it turns out the 'Target ad' was really an ad for ABSOLUT 'mint' Vodka.

The guitar player in our band 'fessed up. I chuckled.

Cover to cover;
MAXIM takes about 6 minutes to read...literally. Add in the chick-pics, we'll be generous and give it a total of 10 minutes.

Still a good prank.

Dont try to trick us, it takes 6 minutes to read and 1:30 minutes for the girls

If MAXIM got an eyebrow ... good thing for you it wasn't Playboy.

When I used to life guard on slow days I would resort to reading whatever I could find in the club...MAXIM was the first thing I went for if I could find it....used to read it cover to cover, takes at least 2 hours. FHM was good too, I'd rather read Cosmo than Stuff though

That's because you're reading it. I was looking for an interesting article in there to read. COSMO has all those 'sex tips'. Do they eveer run the same 'tips' over & over?

My favorite light reading is Car & Driver.

Ohh they where all totally recycled...Maxim is the same way, the sex stuff repeats every 6 months or so under a new title...I think they are all the same publisher BTW. One time Maxim ran a fake Cosmo page of man pleasing tips that you where supposed to leave lying around for your GF/Wife.

In some instances, one might have an easier time talkin' the girl into letting you get that new bass you NEED.

Hmmm, I'm thinkin'.

related story:

About 14 years ago a friend of mine was crossed pretty heavily by another person in a way that set them back both emotionally and financially (the story there isn't important). They knew I had a "reputation" for finding clever ways to get back at others and they came to me for help. I took them with me to the local supermarket and got a subscription slip from every single magazine they had (over 100 different rags) and we spent an afternoon filling them all out with the offender's name and home address, making sure to mark the "bill me later" option on each.

yeah, I used to be a real prick.

i sent an ex boss (one who made sure i was on the layoff list) every piece of free literature and free sample of any E.D. magic cure, topical solution and miracle hair grow method we could find on the internet, right to his office.

pranks are fun!

if you wanna get him back, post his car for sale crazy cheap on Craigslist with his cell number

most fun about a prank is a solid one upper payback
