In my college days, had a buddy Shelly who was a little on the porky side... A group of 5 of us decided it would be GREAT fun to TP another friends house (Dan). Now Shelly had a wicked crush on Dan which made what happened even funnier.

Dad worked graveyard shift 5 days a week. Well, his "friday" was a little different than what most of assume is a Friday. Further, his car had broken down and was in the shop instead of his driveway. Gleefully we fully grown hooligans began "decorating" the house, porch, etc., with toilet paper in the wee hours of the morning. Much giggling accompanied this activity. Abruptly, the porch light goes on and Dan yells "WHO IS THERE I'm CALLING THE POLICE!"

All 5 of us make a sprint straight for the car which is parked stealthily across the street. Between us and the car, along the shortest path to the car, was about a 3" high white picket fence.

Four of us hurdled the fence like NCAA track stars. The 5th was not so athletically inclined. Shelly ran full hilt into the fence and downed about 20 feet of it. Splinters of wood shot up everywhere as she careened forward. We all watched in horror as she righted herself and continued toward the car dragging about 3 feet of the fence behind her...

Swear to God I've never laughed so hard in my life. And yes, we rebuilt Dan's fence the next day. By "we" I mean including Shelly.
