Yes. I "killed" a friend of ours, and even got money for flowers from the others. 18 hundred dollars.
One wanted to bring the cadaver from Syria, at his expense.
I should have taken the money. The party would have included more than one stripper.

Then the "cadaver" called his mother. Which BTW, never new my plot.
And one of our friends got notified that he was doing OK.

He ask me about it. And I had to disclose that I wanted the money for a party.
He kept the secret until the end.

This is the the 80's, where money still had some value.
I bought five cases of vodka and rented a dump for the night.
The one that new, even cried the motherflower.

When we were all drunk, I started disclosing slowly. As in "what if" Daniel isn't dead and I got wrong info?.
"All the better" everybody said, they wanted him alive. Me included.
At the end, nobody gave a damn about poor Daniel. 5 cases of vodka can make miracles.

Next day, some asked me whether he was dead or alive, all drunk still.
"I'll ask his mother" I said. "If he isn't, we will throw another party to celebrate he's alive".
And we did, when he came home 3 weeks later. He wasn't amused thought.
But participated.

Who has a non electric hand drill?.
