Coma prank on 'Ray' a drink-driving wake-up call A US man who has had five drink driving arrests was convinced by friends that he had been in a coma for 10 years in an effort to change his behaviour. Tom Mabe and Jim Clark, who are notorious pranksters, launched what they called the "Epic Don't Drink and Drive Prank." The pranksters waited until the man, whose name is only given as 'Ray', passes out drunk. They then set up a hospital room and hook him up to an IV. When he wakes up he is greeted by a nurse and a doctor who appear excited because, they tell him, he has been in a coma since 2013 after a drink-driving accident. To seal the deal, the doctor puts on the news on the TV for him where the news anchor delivers reports about Miley Cyrus getting into trouble at her trailer park home and US President Hillary Clinton warning of a possible war with Canada. One of Ray's friends comes in disguised in surgical scrubs and tests his reflexes before he starts slapping him hard in the face and revealing the prank. Ray laughs when he realises the whole scene has been a joke but his friend keeps slapping him, telling him that five drink driving arrests is not funny and that it is time for him to think of his daughter.
