» The most childish thing you've done as an adult
I work as a punt chauffeur in cambridge
I have a great laugh trying to fit in at least one ridiculous fact per tour. For example:
On being asked if it will be cold on the punt, telling them that the river has a constant microclimate of around 27 degrees about 3 ft above the water.
Pointing out ridiculous items of interest such as "worlds largest bonzai tree"
Generally making up facts like "This building is where the word 'lackadaisical' was invented, after a 2 year project involving every major academic in Cambridge at the time"
And of course, being a Cambridge resident, whenever a tourist asks me where the university is, I point them in the direction of the nearest Maccy D's. (The "University" doesn't actually exist, it's just the umbrella term for the seperate colleges)
In a slightly related note, the only time I've ever been questioned was when I was telling the truth; Lord Byron did at one time genuinely keep a black bear chained outside his dorm room, which I guess is taking childish pranks to the extreme.

not so into them these days but when their album first came out I fell in deep deep man-love with the scary ginger man.
anyway, the day before a gig he was playing in Cambridge I saw him in the bowling alley across the road from my college during my lunch break. I had about 2 minutes to get back - if I was late to this lesson I risked going on "referral" (basically getting bollocked by my head of subject). He was about to take his shot, but was taking flipping ages about it. Anyway, here I am, with about 30 seconds to get back to my class, going up and actually tapping him on the shoulder and asking for his autograph.
He looked thoroughly pissed off (I nearly shat myself, he's the scariest looking man I've ever met) at being interrupted but did sign my textbook, which made the bollocking I got somewhat worth it :)
It turns out I was 5 minutes too late to catch Lethal Bizzle (who was supporting them) bowling too - he was apparently much friendlier.
