Prank on Mother-in-Law Who Threw The Exorcist in the Ocean

Years ago, my Mother-in-law began reading, "The Exorcist". She said it was the most evil book she ever read. So evil in fact, she couldn't finish it, took it over to the beach and threw it into the ocean off a fishing pier. I went and bought another copy, ran the faucet over it and left it in the night table drawer by her bed. My Father-in-law said that night was the first time she ever screamed and fainted. I'm going to Hell, but I'll go laughing.

This is a text-only comedy meme telling a humorous personal story about a prank played on the narrator's mother-in-law. The mother-in-law previously read the horror novel The Exorcist, deemed it so unacceptably evil that she could not finish reading it, and discarded her copy by throwing it into the ocean from a fishing pier. To prank her, the narrator purchased a new copy of the same book, ran it under a faucet to make it wet, and hid it in the nightstand drawer next to her bed. The narrator's father-in-law reported that the mother-in-law screamed and fainted when she found the book, believing the evil copy had magically returned from the ocean. The story closes with the narrator joking that they are going to hell for the prank, but will go happily laughing. The original title "Aqua-cists" is a pun combining "aqua" (water, referencing the wet book and ocean disposal) and "Exorcist" from the book referenced in the story.

This meme originates from Reddit meme communities, under the original title "Aqua-cists". It is a user-shared comedic story formatted as a standalone text meme, circulated widely for its relatable mischievous in-law humor and horror reference wordplay.
