Good Message in a Bottle Prank

This new prank is actually old. Intrigued?

I don’t advocate pranks in general because there are enough things in life to make us feel unstable that at the very least you should be able to shake someone’s hand without being surprised with the jarring sensation of a funny buzzer. However, look at this prank from the AP:

A bottled message sent out to sea by a New Hampshire man more than five decades ago has been returned to his daughter.

WMUR-TV (http://bit.ly/2dFgqsy ) reports the message was discovered by Clint Buffington of Utah while he was vacationing in the Turks and Caicos.

Buffington says he found a Coke bottle half-buried in the sand. The note inside the bottle said, “Return to 419 Ocean Blvd. and receive a reward of $150 from Tina, owner of the Beachcomber.”

The guy flew (?) to New Hampshire to deliver the message to the daughter, at which point she “made good on the promised reward.” Hahaaaaa.

That’s the prank, write: “Please return this to [enemy’s house] for a reward of $150. Here is his address, this is his email, and here is his Twitter handle. Here is something from his past that he’d rather not be reminded of, to be reminded of upon return of the bottle.” Put it in a bottle and throw it out to sea.

It may take a while and fingers crossed your enemy will be dead by the time it’s found, but then it’s his heirs’ problem, which is still good.
