Best practical joke played on him:
"One time while I was at a bus stop, this big bully guy threw my backpack on the freeway. He didn't do it just once;
he did it every day for a week. It wasn't like it was on me, he'd sneak up behind me and take it whiile I was talking to my
friends, and throw it over a chain link fence into the first lane of traffic. Cars were going around it, and I'd have to jump
out right as the bus was coming and get it while all the kids were screaming at me to get on the bus. It was horrible."
