April Fool's '99

How do you best prank the visually impaired? A question my own dear dad pondered at length before deciding that the best way would be to include hole-punch confetti* inside an obviously fake letter and then encourage civil disobedience via the theft of police-helmets. 

Although nobody actually fell for the prank, we do know of at least one unfortunate blind person that had confetti all over the floor for a week before it was spotted by a sighted guest. 

As with all his pranks, this was sent in the mail to about a hundred people.


* they're called chads
