Someone on Craigslist is giving away their parents’ old steamer trunk. The post explains that they emigrated to the U.S. from Greece with this trunk. I noticed it had the address they were moving to painted on the lid of the trunk.

It’s a house in Riverside, CA.

It would be such an epic prank to pick up the trunk and deliver it to that address. Surely, the current residents would try to dispose of it, but how great would it be if they got rid of it and it turned up at their house again, and again, and again?

In 2013, we had a garage sale, and our neighbors, whom we had recently become friendly with, came over to see what we were selling. Their daughter picked up a creepy-looking doll, but despite our encouraging them to take it, they refused.

They went home, and we noticed that they had left their garage door open, so we snuck across the street and placed the doll in their garage refrigerator. Then, we went back home and waited with giddy anticipation for them to discover the doll and retaliate. We had started what we hoped would be a year-long prank wherein we would each discreetly hide the doll in each other’s houses like a perpetual game of elf-on-the-shelf, but it went nowhere.

They found the doll in their refrigerator and didn’t react at all. It was such a letdown. This trunk thing would end similarly because humor in America died long ago.
