This is one more of those A-level prankster ideas that can give you cheap thrills but will, at the same time, not have the requisite harmful repercussions that an A level prank will have in general.
The idea is to go to a particular restaurant, flick the paper napkins from the holder provided and leave the tissue paper from the previous restaurant visited in the place of the tissue paper of the current restaurant and do it subject to two factors- (a) the feasibility to actually switch tissue papers without drawing any suspicion towards the same and (b) subject to the fact that the current visited restaurant has tissue paper that you can leave at the next restaurant.
Should the waiters of a particular restaurant be as oriented towards attention to detail as I would assume, it would confound them no end to actually have tissue paper from some other arbit restaurant in place of the ones they’ve provided to the customer.
This venture had its beginning when my friend and I visited Brigade Fuel on Brigade Road for a nightcap and flicked tissue paper and placed the same at the Empire restaurant in Koramangala. The final target it to hit as many places as possible and interchange tissue paper ad infinitum ad nauseum until we get caught, in which case a fourth estate card might come in handy.
For the three people who’ve actually read this, please do try this at any restaurant you visit that provides you with tissue paper. It is good fun, I can assure you. At least, that is how it seemed when the idea was making its presence felt in my head.
i once tried a version of this on brigade road. there were way too many people handing out pamphlets over there. so i went from one end of the road to the other several times, collected loads of pamphlets and then stood in one place distributing them.
people with me thought i’d gone mad b ut it was damn good fun
hehe – good stuff, if you do it again, call me along.
I wanted to extend this to some major posh restaurants, but level not there to visit such places.
Darshinis (with seating space and service) on the other hand have a standard issue napkin and they wouldn’t notice any swipes.
the only napkins i encounter read IIML MESS
yeah we do have those. i think the fauji canteen boys flick the mess napkins and use them, achieving the effect anyway, without me having to resort to this prank. thanks anyway should’ve posted before my singapore trip. would’ve left a trail of confounded chinkies in my wake if that had been the case..
always time to do that when you move to other places. Incidentally, looks like I have been relegated to work for another year as a result of which I will be in Blr when you come here for summers. I presume you would like to take out time from your busy schedule to hang out with me atleast once should you be posted here.
Unless of course, it will happen like last time when you come for some 20 days and conveniently forget to put hang out with ex-roomie and all. You are the gay.
