My dad knew Dame Edna and said he was a real practical joker in real life.

1). Used to order fruit salad on plane flights, chew it up and then make out he had vomited everywhere, but it was only chewed up fruit salad.
2). Got a dead body (was supposed to be drunk) from the Uni and left it to pay the restaurant bill.

I recall my grandfather also warning me about Edna, but l can't remember why. He had a reputation. I also met him once. Such an old scallywag.
