    Hammock practical jokes?

    sk8rs_dad 's post about the possibility of waking up after being winched to the ceiling of a theatre made me think: Has anyone been the butt of a hammock-related practical joke?

    My only experience was having six of my extended family's neices & nephews fill my HH with baloons. Not while I occupied it, but while I was otherwise occupied. The joke would have been better if I had discovered it when I turned in, but a six-pack of adolescents breaking out in a giggle-fest at dinner made it clear that something was afoot.

    So, anyone suffer a joke played on them?
    HH entrance sewn shut while you slept?
    Clark pockets filled with squirming critters?
    A person in a bear suit looking through your sleeter netting?

    Well one funny photo I saw in the gallery here was some younger guys that looked like they had duct taped their friend into his hammock.

    I'll try to find it and if I do, I'll update this.

    I remember seeing some pics of Mother Nature playing a practical joke on some hammockers and sending a flood that rose to just below the hammocks. Always look down before you get out in the morning.
    oldgringo's reply to my worrying about owning extra hammocks:

    How many pairs of underwear do you own? Do you refer to them as "extras", simply because you're not wearing all of them as we speak?

    I'd make sure there wasn't a gun in the hammock before I dressed up like a bear...

    *Noted.

    Good tip!

    Knives are kinda borderline... I'm a pretty fast runner, usually.

    I would say this is a pretty solid idea. Its not exactly nefarious enough for me, but no one could really get hurt.

    Can anyone think of anything having to do with water? I can think of a few ways to torture someone in a hammock with a bucket of water and some rope

    Sounds like more of a joke on tenters, or a conversion technique.
