When I was on the Firebirds, we used to go to this dollar store down the street when we were working on the robot after school and a few of us got these ridiculous huge earrings. Well, our mentor, Mr. Foell, saw us all wearing these earrings and joked that he was sad that he didn't get a pair too. So, of course, we bought him a nice pair of light-up clip on earrings because we felt bad that he was left out. He laughed at us when we gave them to him but he told us that he would wear the earrings if we qualified for the Championship event at the Palmetto regional. Well, we didn't exactly qualify but we put up a heck of a fight so we come out of the hotel the day we were flying home and he has the earrings on!! He wore them all the way home from South Carolina to Philadelphia! He got a few strange looks, but we absolutely loved him for it! So I am not sure who that was a prank on, I'm thinking that the prank was on us.
