Confession is good for the soul. Have you ever toilet papered (T.P.'d or wrapped) someone's house?
This strange tribute was usually done to someone you liked. You gathered up all the toilet paper you could, either from home(s) or by buying huge packages of it. Then, in the dead of night, you tossed all the paper through the trees, over the cars, and anywhere else you could drape it. Then you ran like the dickens so you didn't get caught. It could be quite a mess to clean up and the victims almost never got all of it out of the trees.
I must confess to doing it a few times. One time an angry neighbor chased us with a shotgun but we got away. Once I caught some friends just as they were tying a big toilet paper bow on my front door. We took down as much of the paper as we could and used it to wrap someone else's house.
Back in the day, computers ran on punch cards, lots of them. We spent about two weeks emptying all the card punch bins at a major computer center. We had a huge bag of tiny bits of paper. After wrapping the house, we distributed those micro-scraps all over the yard, driveway, and porch. It looked like it had snowed.
So, did you ever toilet paper someone's house? Did you do anything in addition? Did you get caught?
