I hate to say it, but I got fooled by the oldest trick in the book.

I was walking to the library to work on my stuff, when I saw a couple of quarters tied to fishing wire and lying on the ground. Even though I knew about the joke, I went to grab them -- and they got yanked away.

And right when I fell for it, I saw the guy on the other end, hiding in the bushes, with the biggest grin on his face.

We both had a laugh about it, but I'm still annoyed with myself. >.>
