1079 - BRAVO

HARvey used to get on well with his neighbour, Hank. He thought their friendship was solid enough to allow Harvey to play a prank on Hank. Harvey managed to find a very lifelike model shark that moved and which he put into Hank's swimming pool one night. The next morning as Hank drank his orange juice, he spied the shark in his spool and he spilled the orange juice all down his clean shirt. Because Hank was late leaving for work (having had to change his clothes), he was driving too fast and had a prang in his car. The damage to the car looked minor at first sight, but when it was examined by the garage mechanic, it was discovered that there was a major crack in the suspension system. Hank was waiting outside when Harvey returned home from his work. As he stepped outside his car, Hank started a slow handclap and exclaimed "Bravo. Here returns the gallant trickster". Harvey was confused until he saw the estimate for fixing Hank's car along with hearing the account of poor Hank's day.
