The James T. Callow Folklore Archive
WHEN A COUPLE IS MARRIED, THEIR FRIENDS MESS UP THEIR
CAR. THEY PUT WATERMELONS UNDER THE WHEELS AND PUT
WHIP(PED)CREAM AND EGGS ON THE CAR. THEY ALSO
FILL THE INSIDE OF THE CAR WITH RICE AND NEWSPAPER.
THIS IS TO TEASE THEM BECAUSE THE COUPLE "FINALLY
GOT CAUGHT."
Submitter comment: THIS IS DONE IN KANSAS.
