Convincing my friends that a Japanese restaurant in Key West was actually a brothel.
My buds and I went to Key West in '96: I know a little bit of Japanese, but I was quite trashed, so I started a conversation with my friends that didn't make much sence. They were wondering where a certain door led to...I told them I'd overhear and tell them what they were saying in Japanese.
Well, I joked with them later on (nothing like a road-trip and a practical joke, especially when you're mind's not right!), and told them it was a secret entrance to a whorehouse. [Heh. Good one, they'll believe you because you know Japanese.]
Well, I thought that was that. Silly, stupid joke. Nooooo...they were starting to tell their buddies that they thought it was a brothel. Certianly! The restaurants just a front for illegal prostitution! My harmless prank went unchecked for years.
Well, come this year, my buddy's about to have his bachelor/stag party in Key West. (Yours truly was too much of a broke-ass to join, not to mention, illegal drug-use and strip clubs aren't my bag anymore.) Two of them, quite single, apparently decided to venture into the said "restaurant" for more than sushi and sashimi. Or so they thought.
They told me that two of them had embarrased themselves to the point to getting thrown out for "asking questions" about "is anything more than food...well, a few sdays later, I visit them afterwards...and ask if they had fun, etc.
"Why the heck did you say it was a brothel!?!"
"Because I can play a bad joke as well as anyone else", was my responce. My friends are fools sometimes, but I love them anyway.
