Practical Jokes
Do you guys ever play them on your friends?
There's a group of us who play poker together every week for the last 15 years.
My friend Lloyd who is part of the group, is a nice guy on the surface, but deep down, he's a cunning, crafty, slippery snake in the grass, his real profession should be "used car salesman"
He's the type of guy who after you shake his hand, you have to count your fingers to ensure you still have them all.
Anyways, Lloyd and I have had a heated rivalry at poker all our life, and the relationship is such that ~ Whenever he wins, a little piece of me dies inside ~ I know it sounds weird, but that's how it is.
Don't get me wrong, if he was in trouble, I would do anything in my power to help him, but having Lloyd for a friend is like owning a pet snake. Does that make any sense? LOL
Lloyd is so famous around here that if anyone talks about getting screwed or shafted, the lingo is changed to "Oh, I got Lloyded"
8 of us play poker at my house every week, and at last week's game, I snapped some pics that got me thinking about a way to get the sumbich.
I wrote a email, included the pic at the bottom, and sent it to everyone on my contact list who knows Lloyd.
I even went to his work at the cab stand and put it up on the bulletin board, as well as the dispatchers office.
Lloyd has a secret and I finally let it out.
Here is the email and pic that I sent everyone:
(Did I go too far??? lol)
Dear Poker Friends,
It has come to my attention that a fellow friend & poker aficionado, Lloyd ----- has been caught using Extra-Firm Hair Spray in a spritzer bottle.
It's been learned that Lloyd is secretly going bald, and as a last ditch effort to appear from being alopecia's latest victim, Mr. ----- has been using the "Comb-Over" as a last ditch effort to fool everyone around him. He's been using the hair spray to help keep the "Comb-Over" solidly in place.
comb-over
One entry found for comb-over.
Main Entry: comb-over
Pronunciation: 'kOm-"O-v&r
Function: noun
: an arrangement of hair on a balding man in which hair from the side of the head is combed over the bald spot
I urge you to see the enclosed photograph as it shows a clear and recent example of this common, but disturbing trend among balding men.
The purpose of this email is to
1) bring this to your attention
2) educate everyone as to the cause and affect of the "Comb-Over
3) Appeal to your good sense of humility that no one makes fun of Lloyd as this must be a very traumatising event for him.
As his friends, it's our duty to be helpful and supportive of this most recent handi-cap, and go out of our way not to make fun / and or ridicule him because this is something that can happen to any of us.
So please, now that you've been made aware of Lloyds impending baldness, please try not to mention it at the next poker game, and please don't mention the fact that he uses hair spray as a way to help keep the comb-over in place.
Let's all be a good buddy, and treat Lloyd with the same sense of decency and respect that we know Lloyd himself is capable of.

I second what MROLDV8 said. My buddy's dog was getting pieces of junk mail everyday for months. Every single "free" thing i could find was being sent to "Frank Da Tank". Tampons, adult diapers, magazines, razors, coupons, after about 3 months I happened to be back over there and noticed a basket full of all this crap and someone else asked about it. I had to leave the room when they tried explaining how frank (The dog) just started getting mail one day.
