No alibi

My college friend Mila Marie reminded me that we shared many “fun times” when we were in school together.

We went to a very strict conservative Christian college, but we still managed to have lots of fun.

One year, my dorm room looked out to the street. Mila came over one day and we devised a fun pastime. When we saw someone we knew, we yelled out the window “U G L Y: You ain’t got no alibi. You’re ugly, ugly, absolutely ugly!” Once we finished this “cheer” we ducked down as far as we could and still see the person’s reaction.

This went on for awhile. We were hooting with laughter as we watched people craning and turning their necks to see who had yelled at them.

Then disaster hit.

We cheered at someone else we knew, but we didn’t see that the Dean of Women and a friend were right behind that person. The dean was not known for her sense of humor.

She roared, “Who yelled that?”

Of course, we weren’t about to confess. If we had, our hides would likely have adorned her office wall. We valued our skin.

She ordered her minions to discover who had yelled that wicked phrase in her direction. They searched, but when they came to my room, Mila and I were the picture of innocent students hard at work on our studies.

If the searcher had only known us, she would have known much better. Mila and I were rarely innocent. Cooking up pranks was way too much fun!
