The Ultimate Prank, Demolition Crew Included

While pranks are a staple of the college experience, they normally involve throwing baby powder on unconcious drunks, not knocking down residential homes.

This little trick, recently pulled off at Jackson State University, should be titled "The Most Clever Tomfoolery Ever Pulled Off By Southerners."

 

It's suspected that a couple Jackson State attendees switched a demolition notice for property owned by the University to the residence next door. Without doing any double checking, the demolition crew knocked down the modest home of Annie Wilson. The home was appraised for about $10,000 and her massacred belongings brought the damages up to $30,000.

 

The pranksters have not been caught, and the University has been asked to fork over $30,000.

 

The University has only offered $10,000 to cover the damages for a home that was probably a tricked out house on wheels (come on, it's Jackson, Mississippi). The state department is offering at least $20,000, but no offer is final.

 

Hats off to who ever thought up this strategy, it was a clean and beautiful trick with seamless execution.

 

The only questions is, where will the forlorn Annie Wilson sleep tonight?
