Rookie Pranks

A couple days ago I had some canned peaches and got an idea for a prank. The syrup the peaches come in looks very similar to urine. It was time to prank the rookie. I asked Dennis if he would ask George for a urine container. He told George he wanted to test his urine to make sure everything was ok. George said, no problem. Dennis brought it to me and we filled it with the peach juice. Then he submitted his sample to George. A little while later George went to Dennis and told him he needs to get his blood sugar tested because he didn't even need to test the urine to detect how much sugar was in there. He was concerned Dennis had a major problem. Dennis came to me and told me George's findings. We laughed so hard because George still didn't know it was peach juice. Now, how do we tell him? We thought if the sample was still at the lab, we could have someone drink it to really freak him out.

Unfortunately, he had already discarded it. So, we were standing around chatting and I asked him different questions about the lab. Could he test things other than human samples? Would he be able to identify them? Do people ever submit something that's not their own? For example, has anyone ever given him juice to test. He said that in school they used to do jokes. I asked if anyone had done that in Tonj. He said no. Then I said “i think someone might have done that very recently” He paused and then got what we were saying. We handed him papers that said “busted” and cracked up. George was a good sport about it. He insisted we didn't get him because he accurately diagnosed the high blood sugar and did not give any other findings!

Welcome to Tonj, Rookie

PS Based on my silly posts, you may think we clown around too much. I can assure you we are working most of the time! I am thankful for these light moments in what can be a very stressful place.
