Title: Dear John
Post by Iceman on Oct 26th, 2008, 11:11am
John is on a business trip and he will be absent four days from home. Before he left, he said to his girlfriend Cathy that it is over between them, because he fell in love with another woman. He said that she can stay in the apartment until he gets back. John suspects that Cathy will get back at him, trash the apartment or something. But when John returns the apartment looks just fine, and there are no new things in it. Cathy took her clothes and left. But soon John finds out that she did something out of spite. He wasn’t pleased. What did she do?

She left.  She knew that John still loved her and would soon miss her.  He expected her to come back after his affair.  But she didn't.

She put Novocaine in the K-Y Jelly.

This answer is real close. She made one call, not a number of calls. ;)

[hide]A bomb threat?[/hide]

A really really expensive call. She called somewhere around the world and left it off the hook

She took 3 inches off of all his work pants.

She punctured holes in all his [hide]condom[/hide] stash.

She mixed the detergent with shampoo, shampoo with mouthwash, mouthwash with detergent.

However, since it's phone related..

She called the airport and book herself a trip to Hawaii, reminding the guy to charge it to his account.

Close but no cigar, Bill. She punctured holes in his blow-up doll [other woman] that he had stashed.  ::)

It is not us, it is Cathy who does all these weird things!  ;)
Title: Re: Dear John
Post by towr on Oct 28th, 2008, 5:39am
She made a call to an expensive sexline, then left the horn off the hook and hid the phone somewhere (so the call would go on indefinitely).
Title: Re: Dear John
Post by Grimbal on Oct 28th, 2008, 5:41am
Yeah, and the new girlfriend will eventually see it on the phone bill  ;D
Title: Re: Dear John
Post by cheesepuff on Oct 28th, 2008, 5:49am
She doesn't even need to hide the phone really (since John can just turn the phone off by pulling out the cable) It'll still be expensive (not too sure how much a phone sex hotline would cost  ;) )
Title: Re: Dear John
Post by Azgard on Oct 28th, 2008, 7:29am
Even better: [hide]Cathy found out who the new girlfriend was and called her.[/hide]

Close enough. She called exact time, or whatever you call it, in England, and didn't hang up. This was four days ago.

Another possible answer:

[hide] She took down the curtains, undid the seams at the bottom and put in some fresh shrimp and resewed the seams, and then re-hung the curtains. At first, nothing would be noticed, but after a few days of decomposition and rotting...

Can you imagine trying to figure out what that awful smell was?   [/hide] :o

Note: I just learned that smilies do not obey the hide command...

The same is true of any picture. because hiding works by changing the text and background color, neither of which typically apply to an image.

You can hide an orange picture with the exact same shade as the hide color.

Good point... Come to think of it, I should know that having run a forum myself in the past...   ::)

Well, some forums use different techniques. With a bit of javascript you could make a whole div hidden or visible. Our hide function is rather ad hoc.
