Neighborhood practical jokes

I was looking out the window onto my deck yesterday to check on my tomato plant when I saw that I had acquired a couch. A rather large and unattractive couch I might add. This couch was sitting right in the middle of my desk. After taking a second and third look, I called Chris in Chicago to ask who he had told could put this said couch on said deck. He was just as surprised as I was and so the investigative work began.

Wayne, our designated neighborhood watch, said he was volunteering all day and didn't know anything. Dave, our next door neighbor wasn't answer his door. Eric however... Eric, our neighbor who lives on the other side of Dave, he was outside and had too innocent look on his face. He admitted that Dave had purchased a new couch and that he thought that his old couch would be a good addition to our deck. Gee, thanks Dave. I spent some time on the couch last night making phone calls and was going to hang out there tonight with my friend Vanessa but it was RAINING! so we stayed inside. We stayed inside long enough until we had a plan. Always beware of paybacks.

Dave now has a bathroom vanity with sink (minus the mirror of course) on his sidewalk directly in front of his porch. It should be a good welcome as he walks out his front door tomorrow morning.
