Reply #17: Keeps us awake! [View All]

When I was a teenager my great aunt gave my family a beautiful floor length grey wool flannel Quaker cape. We had an 18th century scythe in our garage. One day I got inspired to wear the cape, with the large hood drawn up over my head, and carry the scythe over my shoulder, and walk slowly down the busy rural/suburban main road we lived on. I managed to peer out and observe cars slowing down to stare at me as I giggled in my tentlike cape. I like doing things to jiggle peoples' minds a little while they're in their routines. One of my brothers did what we called "freak-outs", dressing in very strange outfits to get funny reactions. Once he and his friend applied shaving cream peaks sticking out allover their faces and walked along the abovementioned road at dusk, as people were just turning on their headlights. Pretty soon the town police drove by and told the boys to stop their prank or they might cause an accident !
If you want to see more funny reactions to jello, make it with plain gelatin and red food coloring for a party.It's very disconcerting to taste it when it has no flavor or sweetness!
