“I returned to my college dorm room one day to find a brand new fish tank sitting on top of my desk, filled to the brim with water and with fish. Unlike a normal fish tank, this one had a solid glass top, which made the fish inaccessible, and a saran-wrap bottom, which turned out to be the only thing keeping the water and fish from gushing out of the bottom of the tank onto my desk and dorm room floor.
It turned out that a friend of mine had placed the fish tank upside-down atop a cup of fish, and drilled a small hole in the glass top, through which he painstakingly filled the tank with water and knocked over the cup of fish with a pencil. He said he had originally intended to seal the tank to my desk with a caulk gun, but ran out of time =P The fish, surprisingly, lived happily ever after.”
