One year while at a convention in Las Vegas my sister and I had some noise makers to inspire enthusiasm while we learned about our companies well doing, during breaktime we walked through the casinos and decided it would be cool to bang our noise makers and scream after someone pulled on the slot machine. We thought maybe we could create a ruckus and make people around believe someone had won the jackpot. Without picking our victim carefully we stood behind someone and as he pulled on the lever we banged our NOISE MAKERS and SCREAMED as loud as we could. It was just then that we realized, the victim was an old man who was now clutching his chest having trouble breathing! Between breathes he gasped, "You girls BREATH, BREATH, are gonna, BREATH BREATH, give me a heart attack" Mortified I waiting for him to stop gasping so I may apologize, just then I turned around and realize my sister had ABONDONED me and I was now standing there by myself with half the casino staring at me and a paramedic standing by. I did the honorable thing... I ran my ass off! I ran into the nearest restroom and there in one of the stalls is my sister peeing and laughing. We laughed and laughed until we were eventualy lying on the floor crying. I still consider that one of the best laughs of my life. Maybe thats why when I go to Vegas and Im walking through the casinos I sometimes stand behind someone and just as they pull the lever I scream. It still makes me laugh when I see there face but never like that first time.

And do you stand there waiting for their reaction afterwards? aye, brave girl.... funny story.. reminds me of times when I did something silly and my grandpa would almost have a heart attack - not literally -- but close to it because of my little goof-offs...
