Plan was pie. Orthodox Oscar the Grouch technique. Hide in the peach pits, the gristle — the pumpkin seeds and wait until your leatherneck bestie to come hither with the fresh bag to toss, then explode out of the box like a spring-loaded jack yelling obscenities to jar ’em. Not only will he never see it coming, he’ll most likely be daydreaming about this and that on his walk to the can. You know, like we all do amidst menial tasks. Floating lottery numbers. Thinking about significant others. Or ones we’d like to make significant others. When the ballgame is on next. Minutiae.

Unfortunately for this prankster, he had the wrong Marine lined up, because this proud member of the USMC was ready for a surprise (which, technically, makes it anything but). Let’s face it though, this guy is probably always ready. For anything.

Anyway, get a load of this failed caper …
