The Prankster

My sister is the world's best prank caller. When we were in college we spent many, many hours being entertained by my sister's pranks. Once I got a call at work (a yogurt shop) from a girl asking if I had her luggage. I tried to explain that it was a yogurt store, but she kept insisting that she got a phone call from the airport saying they had her luggage and to call this number. I had my suspicions and asked the frantic caller if she had been on an airplane lately. She said no. (I knew it). I asked why the airport would have her luggage if she hadn't even flown on a plane. She didn't know (dumb). Then I asked if she was a freshman at Samford and she said "YES!" (of course). I told her she'd been pranked. Guess who pranked her?

My sister's favorite thing to do was torture freshman. She loved to call the freshman dorm and pose as the phone company. She'd tell the unsuspecting freshman on the other end of the phone that they needed to set the phone down...walk 10 feet back and yell as loud as they could so she could "test" how well the phones worked. We would roll on the ground laughing as we listened to them yell, then quickly run back to phone and ask if she heard them. Most of the time she would tell them to do it again, only this time go back 20 feet!!!

My very favorite prank of all times took place in my dorm room. From my window you could see directly into the guys' dorm across the way. One day we watched as a guy went into the bathroom, dropped his pants and sat down on the toilet. (The wall was blocking part of the view so mostly we just saw legs with pants around the ankles.) As soon as he sat down my sister called over to his room. The guy jumped up, pulled up his pants and ran to answer the phone. As soon as he answered the phone my sister hung up. Puzzled the guy went back to the bathroom, dropped his pants and sat down on the toilet. Again my sister called, he jumped up, pulled up his pants and ran to answer the phone. She hung up. (By this time half of the girls dorm was in my room watching the action.)This happened about 3 more times....Finally...he jumped up didn't bother to pull up his pants and waddled over to the phone. Poor guy, but best prank ever!

Many times I'd be on campus and hear someone talking about the prank phone call they got the night before. Once I heard a girl telling a group of her friends about a particular prank call. Almost everyone in the group said they got the same call. Yep...that was my sister!
