Vicarious Pranks

My friend David and I came up with the most excellent activity ever. Vicarious pranks. It's like pulling two pranks at once!

So here's what you do!!!

You find a person with a need, and then direct them to call your "friend". This "friend" should be someone you either a. don't know, or b. has nothing to do with what the person wants.

Now, you have to tell your friend with a need to tell the person that they are calling, that they got their number from some random person who doesn't actually exist. For instance...

"Hey, this is Jane. I got your number from John. He said you could maybe help me out..."

Kinda thing. Either the person will be embarrassed that they don't know who they're talking to and just agree (which is hilarious) or they will act confused and not know who the person is, which is just as funny.

AFTERWARDS, tell the person exactly what just happened to them.

It's SO amazing.
