Ok, this is a prank my friends and I pulled off a few years ago. Around five or so of us were waiting for another friend to arrive. He was running a little late, and we were getting a little bored. The friend’s house we were waiting at happened to be located on a decent sized tree farm. It was mostly pine, but my friend had showed us the small apple orchid. The apples were ripe, falling off the several trees.
He explained that his parents never really used the apples, as the previous owners had planted them. The only thing he ever did with them, was occassionally wing a few into his neighbor’s field. His neighbor didn’t mind, since he kept horses out there and they loved them.
With nothing better to do, we decided to see how much fun we could have with some apples. First, one of my friends suggested doing a similar trick that he had done with ears of corn from his neighbor’s farm. We gathered up a bucket of apples and lugged them to the U.S. Highway nearby and luckily it was Sunday afternoon so not much traffic. We each grabbed a handful and began forming a straight line across the road as quick as possible. We finished up and ducked behind the thick strip of bushes and trees nearby in my friend’s yard. After a few minutes a car drove up, slowing down. The older couple looked around as we laid low and laughed. Finally the guy shrugged and drove through them. Another car came through, plowing a few more over. Then a car came the other way. We did this a few more times until it became boring and we hatched a better plan.
We quickly headed down to my friend’s garage and found a few more five gallon buckets. We filled three or four of them up and loaded them into the hatch of the one kid’s car. The shortest kid there hopped into the hatch as well. The other five of us loaded into the car and we pulled off onto the road. There were a few cars we passed, but we needed perfect timing and a bit of distance between my friend’s house. Luckily, a T in the road was ahead and a beat up pickup following a little ways behind us.
The driver slowed down a little, never hitting his turn signals or coming to a stop. He popped the trunk and my friend crouched up with a bucket in hand, dumping the apples onto the road. The driver then rounded the corner as the truck plowed through the apples. We spotted him looking around and he spotted us, but he never bothered following us. Probably because it did no damage and the back roads around the area were so complex, it would be easy to lose him.
We took a few back roads until we spotted a car getting ready to exit its driveway. It had it’s turn signals on the opposite direction, so the driver slows down to a creep and pops the trunk again. My friend crouches up and dumps the apples on the road. The driver simply stares in a bit of shock as the apples roll around his car and in it’s path. We sped off as we spotted the driver shaking his head and laughing.
We decided to return back to my friend’s and waited at the T so we could pull out in front of him and dump the remaining apples. Unfortunately, the fucker was running really late. We waited a good fifteen minutes or so and finally spotted two cars coming from opposite directions. The driver pulled out, we dumped the remaining apples across the road.
Unfortunately, the one driver was following us. We headed past my friend’s house and caught another back road. The driver was a bit worried he might have his license plate numbers, so he sped up. We did a loop and caught the original T again, returning back to my friend’s, where we decided not to do any more apple dropping that day.
