The prank is that there is no prank.

Well now hold on! Marigold doesn’t even know what the prank is going to be.

When you least expect it, you’re elected

You’re the star today… smile!

Are you expecting it now? Am I expecting what? Argh!

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!

Whatever. Put a sign on her butt that says “Exit Only”.

Just remember, pranks are supposed to confuse and not to hurt.

Expect the unexpected. Prime directive of the universe.

Photoshop her face to look weird and glue that photo to all the mirrors
