BARney was plotting to scare his friend Colin. In the process of setting it up, he slipped and, with a great crash, landed on the floor. He was unharmed (apart from his pride), and straight way got back to the prank. At last it was ready. Colin drove in to his driveway, but Barney's clever arrangement of mirrors and painted scenes convinced Colin that there was another car approaching fast and despite standing on the brakes, a prang was inevitable. Colin was shocked and reached for his water bottle. He drank from it on his drive home - could it have been tampered with and had he drunk something intoxicating? As he reeled from all this, an orang-outang knocked on his car window, scaring the wits out of him. The ape indicated to Colin to open his window. Very cautiously, Colin cracked open the window. "What brand of toothpaste do you use, sir", it asked. There was something about that voice that sounded familiar. Suddenly, Colin jumped out of the car and wrestled Barney to the floor; Colin had much more brawn than the skinny Barney. "You beast, Barney, you've given me a nasty shock and scared the living daylights out of me. But I will give you credit for the elaborate contraption in my driveway. Let's meet in the pub in an hour and you can tell me how you did all that", said Colin.
