Mame Thurber, the mother of humorist James Thurber, was a renowned practical joker. In her 60s, she went to visit a friend she had not seen for 30 years. The plan was for Mrs. Thurber to wear a red rose so that the friend could identify her at the railroad station. When Mrs. Thurber arrived, she noticed a very old woman asleep on a bench, pinned the rose on her, and stepped back to watch. The friend arrived, stared in disbelief and shook the woman until she awoke. "Why, Mame Thurber," said she to the uncomprehending stranger, "how are you? You're looking just fine!"
