This was during my party years, so party activities were involved. My best friend and i decided to get our guy friends to sling shot dog poo over their fence and into their pool. (My parents werent home during this). My mom woke us up at 9 in the morning to a cop at our door we tried to tell him it wasnt us and they couldnt prove it was. The cop stated he could dna test the dog poo and trace it back to our dog if we dont go clean it up. I tell u what, we cleaned it...with thee biggest smiles on our faces. The neighbor didnt mess with us anymore
