Thanks ALL! I have had my share of pranks played on me when I was a scout. The key to the flag pole was my most gullible moment. However, I heard of one ASM who REALLY did it up right. The flag pole actually had a cross bar and three separate lines. He had locked all of the clips together with a long shank bicycle lock. The key was actually fastened into the end of a 3 foot long wooden skeleton key made out of a closet rod dowel. To turn the key you had to turn the whole wooden key. Of course this was done at the big presentation and when the color guard got to the flag pole there was much discussion and shrugging of shoulders. Finally the assembly was asked "Does anyone have the key to the flag pole!" You can guess the rest!
