My dad regularly yanked our chains. When I was about 6 he came running into the house with this ENORMOUS chunk of pyrite he'd found in the back yard, screaming that we were going to be rich becaue he'd found gold. My sister and I were jumping up and down gleefully, already spending the money, when he told us the truth.
I won't even go into details on when he told us there was going to be a nuclear war. Oy. I should send the man my therapy bills!
