The Prankster

This post is in response to the ‘100 Word Challenge’ here, where there are also links to other responses. The phrase shown in bold is to be added to 100 more words.

On Pete’s bench lay a large envelope, unsealed. Several workmates knew that it contained a glossy photographic print of a picture he had taken himself. It was almost the end of the working day, and he went to the ‘gentlemen’s’ – two floors down. As he left us, Tony quickly removed the print from the envelope, then folded and creased the empty envelope neatly in half. He then unfolded it  and wrote at the top:

PHOTOGRAPHS – DO NOT BEND

then added across the middle:

OH YES THEY DO!

and replaced the print.

I really tried not to laugh when Pete came back. His face was a study…

This is a true story from my early working life. I have changed only the names of the persons referred to. The fellow I have named ‘Tony’ was an inveterate joker.

It's kind to share!
