The elaborate prank it took John Wayne one year to pull on John Ford – My Blog

It’s reasonable to expect that John Wayne and John Ford were so familiar with each other that they’d know exactly how their opposite number would think.Individually, they had a reputation for pulling practical jokes, which by extension presumably made it increasingly difficult to get one over on the other considering their respective penchant for tomfoolery and in-depth knowledge of each other’s mindset. However, Wayne managed to steal a march on his regular collaborator, even if it took him an entire year.As revealed in Pilar Wayne and Alex Thorleifson’s book John Wayne: My Life With the Duke, the iconic star waited until Ford had become acquainted with his then-current residence before starting to cause mischief. Wayne “borrowed a replica of a city truck from Warner Bros.,” which he then sent to the filmmaker’s new abode, but not before he’d “hired a couple of actors to impersonate a survey crew.”When they got there, they were to “announce that Ford would have to move because a freeway was going to run right through his living room,” which unsurprisingly left four-time Academy Award winner with a mindset that was described as “apoplectic.”Wayne had conjured the idea long before he set his plan into motion, but he held off until he was fully convinced that Ford was so comfortable in his freshly-purchased surroundings that he’d be at his most furious upon being told the desire to expand the network of freeways in the area would necessitate his exit.Ford and Wayne at various points had deliberately strewn sheep dung on the ground for the express purpose of dragging Maureen O’Hara through it on The Quiet Man, and hired an actor to masquerade as a plate-smashing bumbling waiter to get back at a pair of producers on Rio Grande, so it’s not as if the air of mischief that lingered between them would come as a bolt out of the blue.After all, it’s a rite of passage for long-time close friends to have fun at each other’s expense every once in a while, regardless of whether or not they happen to be two of the biggest names in Hollywood operating at the peak of their powers and combining their creative might for a string of wildly successful films spanning multiple decades.Once a prankster, always a prankster it would seem, with Wayne relishing the opportunity to score a victory over Ford by leaving him genuinely concerned that he’d be forced to evacuate his home just a year after moving in. It might not have been Ford’s favourite example of one-upmanship, but it was almost certainly the slowest-burning.

Can you solve this puzzle?

### Puzzle Details:
1. **Frank says:** “I didn’t do it.”
2. **John says:** “Frank is lying.”
3. **Peter says:** “Frank is telling the truth.”

### Analyzing the Statements:
Let’s analyze the implications of their statements:

– If **Frank** is telling the truth (he didn’t do it):
– Then **John** is lying (since he claims Frank is lying).
– If John is lying, that means **Frank** is indeed innocent.
– **Peter** is telling the truth by claiming Frank is honest.

Thus, if Frank is telling the truth:
– Frank = Innocent
– John = Guilty (because he lied)
– Peter = Innocent

– If **Frank** is lying (he did it):
– Then **John** is telling the truth (as he says Frank is lying).
– If John is telling the truth, then Frank is indeed guilty.
– **Peter** is lying (as he claims Frank is telling the truth).

Thus, if Frank is lying:
– Frank = Guilty
– John = Innocent
– Peter = Guilty (because he lied)

### Summary of Scenarios:
1. **Frank is Innocent:** (Frank: Truth, John: Lie, Peter: Truth)
2. **Frank is Guilty:** (Frank: Lie, John: Truth, Peter: Lie)

### Conclusion:
– If Frank is innocent, John’s statement indicates he is guilty, which means Peter must be innocent.
– If Frank is guilty, then John is innocent but Peter must now be guilty.

**In both scenarios, we can determine that John cannot be guilty at the same time as Frank.**

Thus, the only consistent solution appears to be:
– **Frank is guilty.**
– **John is innocent.**
– **Peter is lying.**

Therefore, only one man is guilty, which is **Frank.**

Look closer, the photographer was not expecting this photo

For most couples, their wedding day is the happiest day of their lives.

A wedding is a celebration of love between two people who choose to spend their lives together. It marks the start of a new journey filled with shared experiences, personal growth, and mutual support.

Sydney Sweeney hits back at horrific body shaming comments on viral pictures with incredible response

Sydney Sweeney has posted an Instagram video which included body shaming comments

Sydney Sweeney has hit back at horrific body shaming comments she’s received online with an incredible response.

For famous faces, social media can be an extremely toxic place, and it’s why we’ve seen some celebrities reduce their online presence as a result.

Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney has become the subject of body shaming comments in recent times, and she responded to these on Instagram in the best possible way.

The actor posted a shot clip that began with screenshots of a bunch of body shaming comments she’s received online, including some calling her ‘quite frumpy’, ‘very chunky’ and ‘tubby’.

Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell discuss chemistry
After many screenshots of horrible comments were shown on screen, the video cut to Sweeney in her training gear at the gym.

The video cut to a sign that said ‘hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard’ as Sweeney worked hard with a trainer, struck a punching bag and even flipped a large tire in what looked like an extremely intense workout.

Many have flocked to the comments section of the Instagram video to praise Sweeney for her response to the trolls.

“I will never understand the hate in people‘s hearts when it comes to leaving comments like this,” one person commented.

A second added: “Ngl why do people feel entitled to talk about someone’s body specially someone you don’t personally know,” while a third remarked: “No one has the right or reason to make comments on anyones body, ever.”

Meanwhile, Lili Reinhart penned: “It’s always wild to see people publicly out themselves as pieces of shit with comments like that. You look incredible and your dedication to your project is very inspiring.”

The video actually concluded with the name ‘Christy Martin’ being shown on the screen, which is a nod to Sweeney’s upcoming biopic where she plays a famed female boxer.

Boxing fans will likely know Martin is a is a former professional boxer who earned herself the WBC female super welterweight title in 2009.

Sweeney has spoken previously about her process of getting into her movie character, telling The Los Angeles Times in March that she’s a ‘very hands-on collaborator’.

“I like being able to give ideas, be a part of it, help come up with solutions. It just changes the whole process,” she said.

Sweeney continued: “It’s so hard for me now to be on a set and not be able to help in any type of way and be able to take action. And being able to actually have a voice and have a valued opinion—it means so much.”
