Pranksters Convince Alcoholic Friend He's Been in a Coma for 10 Years
There are interventions, and then there's setting up an elaborate prank to convince your buddy he's been in a coma for ten years in an last-ditch effort to save his life
When their serial DUI-ing buddy got passed-out drunk again, Tom Mabe and Jim Clark launched what they called the "Epic Don't Drink and Drive Prank": They converted an office into a hospital room completely with persuasive medical gear and proceeded to make their friend believe he had crashed his car and was just now waking up from a ten-year coma.
I'm not entirely sure how much their prank "worked," but, at the very least, Mabe and Clark finally found a prank worth pulling.
