Simple Pranks Series - Part 2: Dr. Frank Hill

Explain - Dr. Frank Hill is a World Civilizations professor here. He's funny, charismatic, and perhaps one of my favorite teachers ever. Many of my fellow students seem to agree on this matter. One key trait that we've noticed, though, is his style and fashion. Every day, he wears a button-up shirt, semi-casual, tucked into a pair of shorts. No matter what the shirt, he always keeps it a button lower than post people would, leaving a little more of his ridiculously strong tan visible.

Prepare - To get this prank set up, all you need is about two thirds of a single floor in a dorm that are all signed up for the same class (in this case, as part of the "Freshman Focus" program here). They also need to have attire that reasonably matches the professors; shorts aren't necessary, but a button-up shirt is.

Execute - It's Dr. Frank Hill Day! Everybody involved must dress up like him on a day that they have his class. This same group of students should make an attempt to sit in the front few rows. The more "accurate" costumes sit closer to the professor.

Results - This one took about five minutes to coordinate, the time it took to tell everybody on the floor. Dr. Hill somehow didn't notice, but he did notice the odd amount of laughing going on up front, and the positioning of some students who usually sit in the back. Next time, we're going to get more people involved, and hopefully he'll take note. Remember, imitation is the sincerest form of awesome.
