I grew up in Daytona Beach and this prank is as old as I am, and that??s pretty old????but,
After driving god knows how many miles with the wife, kids, and all kinds of "cool" packaged beachy blow up toys/floats (that you are responsible for inflating upon arrival) here is how to have fun subsequent the smelling salt inhalation which helped you regain consciousness after a hyperventilation episode. ?????ÿ
We never had gulls at the municipal swimming pool when I was a kid.?ÿ If we had, I'm sure we would have had fun like that.?ÿ One thing I do remember was keeping a keen eye for the young girls that would sunbath laying on their stomach with their swim suit top undone.?ÿ I'm guessing this was to tan their backs without "swim suit lines".?ÿ
A chunk of fountain-drink ice "accidentally" dropped in the middle if their backs would usually get them to jump straight up quickly...to the anticipated glee of all us hormone charged young boys.?ÿ ;)?ÿ
Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds" scared the snot out of me as a child.?ÿ That would probably scare me all over again.?ÿ I was watching two fellows tossing soda crackers up for the gulls one day until one gull couldn't wait for the toss and flew down to take it out of his hand.?ÿ They dropped the rest of the crackers and fled.
