Is this the lamest prank ever?

After a day arguing with Keith and Dan, Josh is still frustrated and in the great tradition of The Block, decides to vent his feelings through pranking.

However, the prank is far from good.

While his neighbours get reading for dreaming, Josh gets scheming.

“Keith and Dan stitched us up today, so we’re gonna go and stir the pot,” he says. “It’s gonna come back twice as hard but it will be funny for a little bit,” he explains, while Elyse looks dubious.

Under the cover of darkness, Elyse, Josh and his builders drag materials over to Keith and Dan’s office. Elyse is still not convinced. “Is this out of bounds?” she queries. “We’re gonna get in trouble.”

“Shut up ya stiff,” says Josh, fully engaged in his prank. “Get out of here!”

The builders and Josh think they’re hilarious as they place big metal ceiling supports called acro props around the door way, hoping to halt the foremen in their tracks come morning.

They add a note declaring there is a sag in the ceiling. Given that’s what the day’s arguments have been about, it won’t exactly be rocket science to establish who the wily culprits are. “It’s probably gonna bite us in the arse tomorrow but we lost one day, why not lose two?” says Josh.

“Turkey” and “Stupid” is what Josh and his builder Matty have been dubbed by Keith and Dan (who they have named “Heckle and Jeckle” in return) and the foreman can’t agree more with the new nicknames when the “prank” is revealed.

It’s even more depressing later that day, when Josh and Elyse meet up with the foremen.

“Was it a little hard to get in [today]?” Elyse ventures. “Was it hard to get in where?” smirks Dan. Elyse giggles.

“Was that supposed to be a prank?” says Keith. Everyone laughs sheepishly and Dan adds, “Wait ‘til you see what comes back at you.”

“See ya guys,” finishes Keith. “That was crap!”
