This was posted in alt.shenanigans years ago. Maybe I'm missing something but I can't figure this prank.
This is about the oldest shen in the world. Back during the American
Revolution, Freddy Roosevelt's Roughriders would use this all over the fields of Oregon. The trick is quite simple, all that's really required is a mark, and about 17000 pounds of TNT. Oh yeah, you'll also need to find a mountain that is EXACTLY 37,521 yards away (it is suggest you move the mark the right amount towards the mountain, as it's much harder to move a mountain) Once you have your mark in position, secretly take out the Scrabble game board that you have preset in the area. Proceed to set up the
board... and then pretend like you're playing checkers!! He will have no clue what hit him!!
