[WhatsApp Conversation] Dad: Hey, sport! Did you get the package I sent you? Son: Yeah! I got it this morning. Why did you send me a rubber chicken? Dad: It's a surprise test. I want to see how creative you can be. Try to prank someone with it at college. Son: A challenge? Accepted! Dad: That's my boy! Report back with results. (The day progresses...) Son: Operation Rubber Chicken is a go. Target: my roommate. Dad: Excellent! Tell me everything. Son: I put it under his blanket. When he pulled back the covers, it let out the most ridiculous squawk. Dad: Did he jump? Son: Like a cat on a hot tin roof! I've got it on video. I'll send it now. (Video message sent) Dad: This is gold! You're my son, alright! The prankster genes are strong. Son: Wait 'til you see what I have planned for tomorrow. Dad: Oh? Do tell. Son: I'm rigging the chicken to the classroom projector. When the prof hits the power button, it's chicken time. Dad: That's bold. Don't get into trouble! (The next day...) Son: Houston, we have a problem... Dad: You're not at the dean's office, are you? Son: Worse... turns out, the prof loves chickens. She found it so funny, she's keeping it as a class mascot. Dad: That's not the reaction I expected. What are the odds? Son: But wait, it gets weirder. She's giving us a pop quiz; best chicken-related pun gets extra credit. Dad: This has taken quite the turn. But, hey, extra credit! Son: I'm scrambling to come up with something eggsquisite, but all the good ones are taken. Dad: Just wing it! Son: Uh, Dad... There's one more thing. Dad: What now? Son: The prof wants to meet the prankster genius. She asked if I could invite my dad to give a guest lecture on "the art of humor in education." Dad: ...Plot twist: I sent you the chicken when I was scheduling my surprise guest lecture for next week. Son: YOU'RE the guest lecturer? Dad: Surprise! I guess the yolk's on me. Son: This was your plan all along!? Dad: Maybe... See you in class, Professor Chicken Whisperer! Son: Can't believe I fell for it. Dad: Don't be a chicken now. We'll wing it together! Son: I need a new rubber chicken. This one's got a job now. Dad: First lesson in humor: know how to make a good exit! Son: Lesson learned... the hilarious way! Dad: That's my boy! Let's crack them up next week!
