Another use for toilet paper

I love a practical joke. Particularly when it is at the expense of the Old Man. Back in the days when I was roaming the streets, my fellow strays and I used love the Fourth of July. Since we didn't have any money to buy fireworks (and couldn't reach the counter anyway), we would go toilet papering. What fun it was to grab a roll of toilet paper by the mouth and run with it flying behind us, wrapping it around all crevices of the local front yards. Sometimes we even toilet papered the local tomcat.

Which brought me to a great idea of a practical joke to play on the Old Man on the Fourth of July: to toilet paper the living room. I devised the plan. I knew we would need some access to several rolls of toilet paper. The Old Man frequently uses the guest bathroom, which is also where the extra rolls of toilet paper lie. We needed him toleave the door open. Our plan was to wait until Mom went to bed, then slip something into the Old Man's drink that would make him woozy and forgetful and make him leave the bathroom door open [mom always yells at him to "shut the damn bathroom door!"]

My brilliant planning worked, because when Mom got up the next morning, she awoke to this:

Mom must have known that the surprise was actually for the Old Man, because she made him clean the entire mess up. The best part was that the toilet paper was too thick for the vacuum to pick up, so he had to pick everything up by hand. Mission accomplished.
