Water squirting nickel

1 Comment

I recently purchased a water squirting nickel for something like $3. It’s the best $3 I’ve ever spent: funniest thing ever. I took it to Monterrey on my most recent trip for my cousin Jaco’s Bar Mitzvah and entertained myself (wow, that sounded dirty) endlessly by squirting just about everyone there. The story: look for the telltale signs of a supposedly counterfeited nickel, which I swapped right before showing the defect to the victim.

I only taped a small percentage of the victims that night and posted it as a mind-numbing 1:46 minutes long YouTube video. Trust me, you had to be there, it was hilarious.

I feel like I can finally post this, even though it will ruin the joke in the future, because:

  1. Joseph took my nickel.
  2. Most of the people I know have seen it by now.

For the record, everyone I pulled this prank on fell for it. But only one person fell for it TWICE!!!

What I did not know is that the kid in the ads is the son of comedian Enrique “El Polivoz” Cuenca. Check them after the break…

Bungee

2 Comments

Here’s a video of me bungee jumping last Saturday at the Cola de Caballo waterfalls, in Villa de Santiago, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. Highly recommended. Enjoy!

Update 7/8/2009: Answering Eva’s comments on how this compares to skydiving: Skydiving costs 10x more but it’s worth it 10x more. It’s a better, longer, experience. The thing about bungee jumping is that your body changes direction several times so you get a different feeling. But nothing beats the free fall of sky diving, with the strong wind in your face and the unbelievable, wide open view.
