My brother and I had a reputation in high school of not being people you messed with. Our rule was that you could never damage property or hurt anyone, but anything else was fair game.
We had a common friend John, who was sort of the geek of our bunch. He had a 1970 Javelin with an inline six and a three on the tree. Cool looking car, but a real dog. He wanted to go out with this girl that was in our choir group soooo bad, but was always afraid to ask her. He finally got the nerve to do it, and she accepted. They went to a football game with a dance that followed, an informal affair organized by the school at a local park, known as German Park. As you might expect, the dance was in an outdoor pavilion of sorts, and it was in the fall and fairly cool in the evenings. He even bought her this really nice cashmere sweater (which was a bit over the top and probably creeped her out slightly, since they had never gone out before.) He knew we would probably mess with him, so he pulled an old trick - he placed a small pebble on the hood of his car so he would know if anyone got into it. Unfortunately for him, we knew that trick, too.... While they were at the football game we got into his car and placed the requisite drops of deer lure in each of the spark plug wells, closed the hood, and placed the pebble back where he left it. Hee. They came out of the football game and got into the car. Since there were many people there, waiting in line to get out of the parking lot took a good 10 minutes, during which time the stench began to waft through the car. Not knowing if it was someone around them they put up with it, but after the 10 minute drive to the park it was obvious the car has some serious odor issues. I'm not sure how things turned out at the dance, suffice to say she got a ride home with some friends, that much we know. John didn't speak to us for several weeks afterwards.... These are the stories we never tell our kids. Half the stuff we did back then would probably get you jail time nowadays.
