Frighten People At The Beach
Anyone who wants to play a prank or frighten people at the beach can dress up as a grim reaper and sit on the lifeguard chair.

This person is committed to the prank and doesn’t budge from his spot, making it clear that the grim reaper is present. We wonder if anyone confronted him and told him to leave. We also wonder where the actual lifeguard was at the time and whether they found the prank amusing.
Provide Your Dog With An Inflatable Toy

If you’re feeling daring, you could even shave all your head hair to make a bold statement and stay cool throughout the summer.
