SNIPE HUNTING

AS A JOKE TAKE PEOPLE OUT AND TELL THEM THAT YOU ARE GOING SNIPE
HUNTING. THERE IS REALLY NO SUCH THING AS A SNIPE THOUGH. HAVE
SOME PEOPLE WHO KNOW ABOUT THE JOKE PRETEND TO BE CATCHING SOMETHING
IN A BROWN PAPER BAG. THIS SHOULD BE DONE AT NIGHT.

Submitter comment: MY SISTER WAS ACTUALLY FOOLED BY THIS GAG WHEN SHE WAS YOUNGER.
