I was reading this week about a pastor named Wayne Major. When Wayne was in high school, he and a friend would pull a great prank. One of them owned a car in which you could pull back the upper part of the back seat and slide into the trunk. That gave them the idea for this prank. One of them would hide in the trunk while the other would drive the car and pick up one of their other friends. The two guys in the front would get involved in a deep conversation. Meanwhile the one hiding in the trunk would remove the upper part of the backseat and sneak out and take a place in the backseat as if he had been there all the time. Then he would suddenly join in the conversation. “Surprise!”

Wayne had all kinds of stories of the various startled reactions that they got with this stunt.

I like surp…
