Did you look on the roof?

From Kristy Sabo:

My grandfather loves to glorify his childhood prankster days by re-telling
 
 the same 5 stories whenever the opportunity presents itself. When this
 
 doesn’t naturally occur, he’ll be found approaching/chatting up strangers
 
 wherever we travel as to get an opportunity to tell one of these stories.
 
 One of the biggest crowd pleasers is the event that took place when he
 
 invaded the neighboring Amish community. Under the cover of night, he and a
 
 few friends walked to the schoolteacher’s house and proceeded to
 
 disassemble his buggy. They then lugged the pieces, through several trips,
 
 to the local Amish schoolhouse, and then proceeded to drag these pieces to
 
 the roof of the building. It was here that they reassembled the buggy for
 
 the disgruntled schoolteacher to stumble upon the next day. My grandfather
 
 usually utters his wheezy laugh to the point of crying at this punch line,
 
 and whenever we complain about not being able to find something he’ll
 
 shout, “Have you checked the roof!?” and laugh some more.
