Extra Baggage

Duct Tape? Check. Volunteer? Check. Someone with a good sense of humor? Hopefully.

With a little co-operation from a friend, waking up before the driver can produce some great opportunities for comedy. For the sake of theatrics: let’s say, hypothetically, the driver always wakes up at 10am. Plan, along with your partner in crime, to wake up 30 minutes beforehand. Volunteer them to be wrapped and muted with duct tape, ease them into the back seat, and cover them with a blanket. Now return to where you’re sleeping and rush the driver to get the day started. Hopefully they’re still sleepy enough not to question where your accomplice is until they hear muffled noises from the back of the car. Results are always funnier if the “baggage” is in their skivvies.
