What happens when you show up at a high school reunion disguised as a pre-op transsexual?
Well for one thing, people don't have to ask you "What's new?"
A few months ago, I received a flyer from my high school reminding me that my reunion was coming up. For me, this was a good thing. I had a lot of laughs in high school, some good friends, and I played sports (okay, track).
The invitation got me to thinking: What would happen if someone who had graduated as a man came back to the reunion with a killer rack and a whole new way of peeing?
I emailed one of the organizers and found that the 35th reunion would have nearly 200 attendees, would only cost $25, and would be held at Kowloon, a gigantic Chinese restaurant located outside Boston near a bunch of strip joints.
The size of the crowd was perfect for pranking, the price was affordable for me and two confederates, and Chinese restaurants have something that makes them a favorite for all comedians -- scorpion bowls for four.

Next, I had to assemble a crack prank team. First I tapped Donna, a veritable Swiss Army knife of talent. In addition to having experience dolling up drag queens, she is also beautiful, a fine actress, and has ice water in her veins under pressure. I then added camera guy Neal, a close friend who has absolutely no respect for authority or tradition, but has a great appreciation for whack-job comedy.
Next up: the costume. At my age, pretty was out, so there were really only 2 ways to go. Either the trashy John Waters-style tranny:
Or the more reserved Janet Reno Man-Chick look:
This was going to be a class reunion they'd never forget.
Other than being bowled over by the comedy, humbled by the sheer quantity of chutzpah required to pull this one off, and mildly attacted to him/her, I am also thrilled to note that this contribution was made by someone who graduated from high school three years before I did.
