No one in my life's history has aggravated me more than my sister.  No one have I ever enjoyed aggravating anyone in my life as much as I did/do to my sister.  That's why I say you really have to be a brother of a sister to truly appreciate the brilliance of Mendl Weinstock.

Mendl, for years, teased his then-teenage sister that  "if you make me come to the wedding I'm going to bring a llama with me."

Her thoughts?  Surely he's just kidding, right?

Then she finally got engaged last October, and Weinstock kept true to his word, renting a llama from a nearby farm and even dressing it up in a tuxedo and yarmulke.

The llama, "Shocky," turned out to be a big hit at the wedding - although Mendl's sister has promised to 'get him back' at some point.
