In honor of April Fools!!!

For those of you who haven't heard the story yet, allow me to impart what might have been one of the best pranks every pulled. 
The clown you see in this picture, as horrific as it might be, is the clown that was pretty much the culmination to an eventful day in the life of seminary apartment highjinks. Let me start from the beginning. My former beloved roommates during Seminary were Ben Adkison and Stephen Burks. Well, Stephen, as fun as he was to live with, was most definitely the instigator of the roommates. Naturally, he that instigates shall receive the consequences and repercussions of his actions. One particular Saturday Stephen was planning to head out of town for the day to visit his girlfriend (now his wife) and be back that night some time. Ben had the great idea of painting Stephen's room pink when he left that morning. What a great idea!!!! I exclaimed. So, we bought some HOT PINK paint, cleared his room of all furniture and called the friends. You see, everyone wanted to get Stephen back for something. Its always good to see a jokester get joked. Anyway, Stephen left and the painting began. It didn't take us long and we were done, but something was still missing. So we painting unicorns on his walls. We also painted lace around his window seals and other things you might see in a little girls room. Once that, among other ideas, were done, we were still missing something. 
We decided to call up a friend of ours who happened to be an artist. She came over and said what would like me to paint. Well, imagine our little brains going into over drive just thinking of what we could put on his wall. Then it came to us. STEPHEN HATES CLOWNS, so what better to put on his wall. Anyway, we told her what we wanted and what you see above this text is the clown that Jennifer painted. Pretty neat huh? Well, we laughed, took pictures and opened our home to many observers having heard the word until finally, it was time for Stephen to arrive. Well, lets just say that Stephen had a hard time sleeping in his room for a while. I would honestly hear him across rooms at night talking to himself. Finally, I asked him who he was talking to at night. He said the clown. The only way for him to get over his fear was to threaten the clown every night before he went to sleep. Hope you enjoyed it. If you've heard of other good pranks, please let me know.
