On Jerking Off Reindeers

Since people seemed to like the story of my awkward childhood first kiss, I figured I'd dig up another little gem from my past and share that story too.  It's a story I never really shared with people, since at the time I probably could have gotten in a lot of trouble with the police.  This one is staring my lovely departed friend Hallie.  We used to do some dumb things in our time.

We were in highschool and sitting downtown at the clock, a place where many of the 'delinquents' would frequent after school/into the night.  It was near Christmas, so the town had a reindeer and sled display out where people could sit and take pictures.  Hallie and I got a kick out of the 'Please keep off the reindeer' sign that they had next to it.  ... So amused by it that it was up to us to make the sign even better.

We waited for our parents to go to sleep that night and at about two in the morning on a school night, the two of us snuck out of our houses and took a little walk downtown.  We went, took the sign and brought it back to her house where we would alter it.  The word 'keep' was whited out and replaced with the word 'jerk' and then we'd go back downtown and put the sign back where it was and leave.  The next day after school we'd casually walk downtown and sit at the clock watching people walk by.  One by one everyone hanging out would start to notice that the sign was changed to "Please Jerk Off the Reindeer" and it became the funniest thing of the day.  Eventually, the police would come and break up the scene around the sign and take it away only to return it later on with the white-off chipped off so that it wasn't asking people to jerk off the reindeer anymore.

The next night, being the dumb kids we were, we went and did it again.  We were probably really lucky that we weren't caught.  We even took pictures of us squatting by the sign giving a thumbs up laughing our butts off. She had the pictures though, so I can't exactly put one on here.  They're in her photo albums, I'd have to go ask her mother if I could copy one.  I could have sworn that I had one around somewhere.  I'll look for it and share it if I ever find it.

... Hallie and I used to do lots of dumb things, but it was always super fun and awesomely hilarious.
