THIS HAPPENED ON A COLLEGE CAMPUS. A GIRL WAS WORKING LATE ONE
NIGHT. WHILE SHE WAS GONE SOME BOYS DECIDED TO PLAY A LITTLE TRICK
ON HER. IN A ROCKER IN HER ROOM THEY PLACED A HUMAN ARM BORROWED
FROM THE BIOLOGY ROOM. THEY REMOVED AS MUCH OF THE FORMILDIHIDE AS
POSSIBLE. NOT WANTING TO MISS ANY OF THE FUN THEY HID IN A SIDE
ROOM WAITING FOR THE GIRL TO ARRIVE. SOON SHE CAME HOME, OPENED
THE DOOR AND TURNED ON THE LIGHTS. MUCH TO THE SURPRISE OF THE BOYS
THERE WAS NO SCREAM. THEY WAITED AND WAITED. SOON THEY COULD WAIT
NO LONGER. THEY PUT A CHAIR ON TOP OF A TABLE AND LOOKED THROUGH THE
WINDOW ABOVE THE DOOR. THIS IS WHAT THEY SAW: THE GIRL WAS SITTING
IN THE ROCKER. HER HAIR HAD TURNED COMPLETELY WHITE. SHE WAS
ROCKING BACK AND FORTH CHEWING ON THE ARM.
