Texas pranksters play game of beer pong at intersection

June 6 (UPI) -- Two men interrupted traffic at a Texas intersection by setting down a fold-out table to play a game of beer pong.

Video shared to Facebook by Sol Uresti showed him and Juan Johnson placing red Solo cups on the table and tossing ping pong balls at the intersection of West Rd. and Airline in Houston.

The video was shared more than 1,000 times and received both laughs and criticism, but the two men said they were just trying to have a good time.

"We're trying to be different and unique, trying to have fun," Johnson told Click2Houston.

Uresti explained the set-up was simple and no alcohol was involved in the prank.

"We pulled out the table. We set it up, put Hawaiian punch, grabbed the balls, had the table and put it right here in the middle," he said.

Police said Uresti and Johnson would not be charged since the incident was not reported, but warned others against repeating their behavior.

"Doing this prank can affect not only yourself, the people in the intersection and also people who will copycat the situation," Houston Police Officer John Williams said.

Two men were arrested for creating a similar traffic obstruction by playing a game of basketball on a busy Houston street.
