What was the greatest length you went to just to fuck with someone?

When I was in the 5th grade I convinced a new kid that the school switched my first and last name. It was a small Catholic school, and I was getting to the age and point in my 6 years there since kindergarten that I just could not give less of a fuck anymore. I had enough of their crap and my 5th grade year was just the worst, I was always in trouble trying to be a class clown or something. The following year I began going to public school and never went back.

So 20+ years later I get a friend request from a girl from this class and she tells me about a reunion going on at a bar and she'll buy me a drink if I come out. As soon as I walk into this place I see this guy I told this weird fuckin lie to and (for the sake of the story I'm now Anon Smith) he turns and says "Smith? Smith Anon? Honey remember the guy I told you about, Smith Anon?"

I proceeded to introduce myself to his wife as Smith Anon and we talked about all the funny shit I did that year, apparently I made quite an impression on this guy. I remembered pretty much right away why he was calling me by my last name first and while I'm talking to do the dude I log into Facebook and switch it around.

So that was about a year and a half ago, and out of laziness or mental illness, or perhaps just out of pity for what I've done, I've left my Facebook profile the same. I've even hung out with the dude through a mutual friend which was odd but my friend hasn't said anything. I guess it doesn't sound TOO weird to just call someone by their last name, just douchey.

The dude wants to work for the company I'm at and I can get a pretty nice sized referral bonus if I get him a job, but do I really want to bring this shit to work? At some point he's bound to realize what my name actually is, and what will he think then? I would think a person is a psychotic if they let me believe something so moronic.
