One of my summer classes started today.  I run off to class and when I get there I can’t find my pen anywhere.  I have a pencil, but quite honestly I am not really good at writing with a pencil, I don’t know why but ever since I got old enough to write exclusively in pen, that is all I will use.  Well, I turn to the guy behind me and ask him if he has a pen, and he says sure and he gives me one to use.  I thank him, and as I turn back around, I push the top of the pen down to put the point out and I get zapped.  That is right I get a small electric volt in my finger, and I scream, not because it really hurts but because it scared the heck out of me.  Well, I had never experienced one of these little trick pens that was obviously a novelty of some kind because the guy behind me was laughing and almost rolling around in hysteria, and I was mad.  I am too old to get a laugh out of such a mundane act, and yet somehow I was left feeling that some sort of retaliation was in order for this act of cruelty on an innocent victim.

Well, after class I went to the student union for a cup of coffee and while I was there I was asking around about where to buy novelties and I found out there was a place in the local mall.  After I finished up my classes for the day, I went down to the mall, and found just the place they had told me about.  Now I knew that I would have to wait a few days or even weeks for my retaliation but I wanted to be prepared when the time came to give him a taste of his own medicine.  I had never been in one of these stores, and honestly I had never seen such an array of balloons and light up items and other items of perversion.  I was amazed at the gag gifts and trick items they had, and was unsure at first what would be my best form of revenge.  Then I came across the perfect item, squirt chocolate.  Now I know that I have a gag that I can get over on this guy with, and while I was there I bought a squirt calculator too.  I figure you can never be too prepared for a good prank!
