When I was a kid

Myself and my little brother were playing in the playground one day, he was on the swing and I was on the top of the really high climbing frame (probably about 6 foot of the ground but seemed like at least 50ft!).. My brother had this younger friend called Paul. Paul was about 5 and a bit special! He had this special silly idiot boy laugh (the horror of which will never leave me)! My brother was very evil when he was a bairn and used to torture this Paul a lot. Anyway, this one day Paul had his little fishing net with him for catching sticklebacks. For reasons known only to Paul he had a massive dog turd in the net.
Interesting I thought - I'll just stay up here out of reach! My brother started talking to Paul and it suddenly became a game of Paul trying to get us with this dog turd in a net. Poking it through the holes in the climbing frame and laughing his insane special little laugh I can still remember the crazed look in his eyes (sends shivers down my spine).
After about ten minutes of failing to get us my brother shouts "put the net over your head Paul!". Sounding like a great idea we both shouted this over and over while Paul laughed and laughed and laughed. Being a good boy Paul put the net over his head and pulled it down over his face!!!!
There was shit all over his head - in his hair and on his face, you could smell it and I was gagging! Paul was still laughing!
Then my brother reached new realms of sickness and shouted "eat some Paul". Surely the sick kid wouldnt do that i thought?! How wrong was I!!!!! Almost in slow motion Paul pulled a big dark brown nugget out of his hair and plopped it in his mouth! I ran home screaming!


I later found out that my brother had persuaded Paul not tell his mum that we were involved - bribing him with all the orcs from his Space Crusade set, and the frigging dreadnought!!! Paul was grounded and had all fishing net access restricted!
(Apologies for the length - one of my earliest sickest memories! I don't know where Paul is but I really hope he doesn't work in the food industry!)
