Tell us this cruel prank.
Click to expand...

My dad was cutting branches off this huge tree in his backyard. In doing so, one of the branches fell onto a neighbor's power line, cutting his power. So the power company had to come out and repair it. They didn't say that they were going to charge him or anything, just to call them next time before he cuts.

Then that night, a transformer blew, killing power to the whole block. This is unrelated to my dad's incident. Well about a week later, one of my dad's friends who knew about the whole thing, had another friend call the house claiming to be from the power company. She said that my dad's tree trimmiing caused the transformer to blow and they were going to bill him $10000 for the incident. She said they will send him some paperwork to make arrangements to pay.

He was sh*tting bricks for a whole week. Until his friend fessed up and finally let him off the hook. He was really pissed, but I thought it was hilarious.

That's like saying "She's a white American girl about 5'5-5'7, last name Smith." 😛

I'm thinking the UCSF classes are relatively small though.
