Johnny (as I think he loves making jokes) keeps in a hand one dirty absorbent (I think a girl may be helpfull for this one ;) pretty heavy menstruations are needed ). It doesn't have to be "fresh", it should be a little bit old (probably the smell will get worse with the time)... Johnny, furtively, goes behind somebody (of the crew, obviously) and slaps the absorbent on the guy's face (preferably on the mouth).... The reaction won't be so good, so a cup or something like that wouldn't be a ba...
Some old buddies and I used to play "Tonk for Water"- where at the end of each hand (of the card game "Tonk), the player with the highest hand had to drink a bottle of water. But the water is no ordinary water! It's soap sud water chugged from an empty- but unrinsed- shampoo bottle. The soap sud water sickens the most frequent loser, leading to many great laughs for all!To quicken up the game for a skit, instead of playing Tonk, we'd take turns drawing a card from a face-down deck of cards.

Next were four flowered accents, $8 each, and 30 yellow-and-white marbled tiles from an old fireplace surround that we bought in bulk for $40. We also uncovered the wrought-iron tab...

But winter is over and most of us can no longer enjoy the intricate nature of ice crystallization, unless you're sticking your head in your freezer. Or unless you build your own snowflake cultivation machine, which shoots 2,000 volts of electricity through a cold, moist chamber.
