<p>Caltech students have long been known for their quirky sense of humor and creative pranks. Please describe an unusual way in which you have fun.
We were on the bus back from school when one of my friends brought up the subject of drinking. The gullible friend who brought it up had only recently joined school and we decided to play a prank on him. I brought out a water bottle with pure water in it and pretended that it had vodka. The others instantly caught on and begged for a drink. They took turns and pretended that the water they were enjoying was vodka. Even when one of them choked with laughter we passed it off as the alcohol being of poor quality. We convinced the gullible friend into trying some and even coaxed him into answering what he felt like. The poor boy who had read somewhere that alcohol gives a burning sensation pretended that he felt a burning in his throat and stomach. He even went on to claim that he felt like he was high and could do anything. We all had a hearty laugh at his expense constantly convincing him that it was the alcohol that was making us laugh!</p>
<p>I’m assuming this happened in high school–you were trying to coax him into something he believed to be illegal? Ehhh…</p>
<p>That’s not really a “quirky” prank. Caltech wants to see something creative and your description of the prank is anything but.</p>
<p>Thank you guys I really wasnt sure how to go about this essay in any case. The thing was it was quite harmless cause we told him immediately after that it was only water.</p>
<p>I agree with the two above. Your joking about an illegal activity and it is far from creative or quirky.</p>
<p>Yeah… I wouldn’t use this.</p>
<p>Spoonerism and Bathroom Singing This queer pastime that I developed not so long ago actually started off as a mistake when I was singing a song and accidentally interchanged two syllables in the lyrics to give an amusing result. Since then almost every day when I was in the bathroom I sang songs deliberately scrambling the lyrics and trying to arrive at the most humorous results. Many times it would be completely meaningless but it was fun trying to do it as fast as possible and on the first try. It even exercised my brain in its own little way testing its speed of processing. As my mother correctly pointed out I had taken bathroom singing to a whole new level. </p>
<p>I agree the first essay came across a bit wrong cause i did not have sufficient characters to explain the whole incident. But here is my second attempt. Please tell if this one is fine. Thank you guys for your feedback.</p>
