I used to work with this guy who a practical joker in the worst way. Like put more and more sugar in your coffee when you aren't looking. Or the time he almost got us thrown in jail by having an "exploding" pen (it's just a cap gun inside) at a bar, so when someone used it to settle their tab the staff/bouncers thought it was a gunshot, and were all over us.
Well he told his wife they won the lottery. Naturally, she called bullshit, but he was unrelenting. Started looking at expensive houses, and even planned his retirement party. When she finally began to believe/couldn't take it anymore, he came clean.
He's divorced now. Living down at the Lonely Arms with Lenny (probably)
