今回は「いたずら」のお話。以前、ハロウィンにまつわるいたずら（prank）のエピソードをお届けしましたが、今回のいたずらはちょっと「引いて」しまう、笑えないものかもしれません…。

Fire Alarm

Situation: Troy and Amanda are hanging out in a dark corner of their local library.

W: So, I was, like, "It's totally YOUR fault, Christie, because Johnny Ferrerie would've never kissed Suzie unless Kathie Davis had been... (Troy cuts off Amanda)

M: Yo-- hold that thought! Check out this fire alarm over here!

W: What? You're not actually considering pulling a fire alarm in a public library, are you? The sprinklers will go off and it'll ruin my hair!

M: Think of it this way: if I pull this fire alarm, everyone in here is gonna get soaking wet. Ha ha ha... (Troy has a mischievous smile)

W: Yeah, exactly! Meaning: my hair and my new Louis Vuitton bag will both be ruined!

M: Amanda, think about it. EVERYONE in here will be soaking wet! That includes the girls! The combination of water and a white shirt really suits a girl in a situation like this, if you know what I mean. (Starts laughing)

W: Oh my gosh, Troy, you're such a pervert!

M: Genius? Yes. Inventive? Yes. Pervert? No way. Um... watch this!

(Troy puts his hand on the alarm, poised to pull it.)

W: Hey! You better not!

M: Come to me, my drenched vixens!

(Troy pulls the alarm and everyone in the library starts screaming as tons of water fall upon them.)
