Teenager living at home:

I filled a thin plastic pouch with a watered down ketchup mix....

I filed a couple of metal "stakes".

My mom was in a room where there was a big glass door and plenty of light....

I held the stakes "just right" and ran into the door from the outside, puncturing my shirt and the bag of "blood", red everywhere, I stumble backwards and fall, mom panics - whoops!

I thought it was funny.....

Funniest one I can remember....
We're having pre-party cocktails at my house, lots of friends over, it's Calgary Stampede week and we're going out cowboying. It took a couple hours to get everyone gathered, a few buddies from out of Town were in; I knew how busy the pub we were going to would be so I wanted to get going. We were all ready to go when one of my good buddies decides he needed to wash his only pair of jeans in my washing machine and then dry them. I was pissed off when I saw him sporting a pair of my shorts and informing me that we'd have to wait. What'ya gonna do?
Well he washed them pretty quick and chucks them in the dryer. I went into the laundry room and took his jeans, pulled them inside out and laced them with pink insulation, then put them right side out and back in the dryer. He pulled them out and threw them on and off we went. I told the whole gang what I did.
Well we get to the pub and we're in the line up and buddy starts scratching and we're all laughing our bags off. I almost pissed myself it was so funny. I swore everyone to secrecy; so buddy just thought he was Mr. Funny and had us all laughing. This went on all night long. Buddy was dancing with girls and scratching all night long.
At about 1 AM one of my other buds tells buddy what I did, he swore he was gonna get me back but never did.
Truly hilarious.

"R" Rated: Sexual content & slightly mean

I had a good buddy get absolutely hammered one night and he brought a girl back to my place after the bar closed. He was liquored to the max and she was a "10"; cases of beer imo; I mean buck ugly boyz.

The next morning we're all waking up and my pals girl had gone home, but he had her phone number. I tell him she was a babe, a real gorgeous girl. He was all proud of himself. Then I convinced him to invite the girl to this huge BBQ I was hosting for a bunch of friends. There was about 50 people expected; so my buddy calls the girl up and invites her over for the BBQ.

Well of course I prepped everyone else for the big moment and my buddy was absolutely shocked and astonished when she arrived. This girl was buck ugly. She ended up staying there the night and hooked up with another loser that very night, so all was not lost, but the look on my buddies face when she showed up was priceless.

My buddies and I always had a rule:
fun is fun but anything that is dangerous or will leave damage (scratches, etc ... was off limits) however, anything that might be annoying or just a pain was still fair game.

Buddies and I turned the Wrestling coaches car so that it was wedged between the cars next to it at the pizza shop we hung out at ... | - |

Everybody in our group in High school got the TP job when they got their new car
Misty mornings and toilet paper is just plain nasty ... lolo, yes, my turn did come around

elementary school was either potatoes or apples in tail pipes, great to hear when you're waiting for the school bus.

I'm probably the only teacher in my high school that pulls pranks on kids!
jump out from around corners
if a kid is caught sleeping -- beware! --
1.) one day a kid was so knocked out I got the whole class to empty into the hall and turned off the lights then we started to bang on the door
Did the same thing to kid who fell asleep during a movie. Poor kid's leg feel asleep and he was trying to run but ... ended up bumping into desks on his way out of the room.
2.) found a piece of paper on the floor and wedged it between the fingers of student that was propering herself up with her elbow. She woke up because everyone was snickering. She then realized that she had a piece of paper in her hand. The girl sitting next to her was so on the ball that she told the sleeping girl, "WTF! you are sooooooo weird, you woke up and picked up that paper and then went back to sleep!" ...


Not really a prank but, when I catch my kids cheating in class (the ones who are stupid enough to write answers on their desks) I yell out for an eraser normally get one from the opposite side of the room (no, I won't except his) and then then the perp to erase, then throw the eraser back. I just walk away and continue with the desk --- enough punishment has been given out I don't nark on my kids.


I used to have a self recorded message on my phone.
"Hello?
....
Hello!?!
....
HELLO !!!!!!!!!
....
oops, Please leave a message!"

I left just enough amount of time so that the other person would start talking. Apparently, several of my friends fell for it while at work and ended up getting louder and louder so that basically everybody in the office heard their voice
I did loose a date because of that still was worth it though !


lolo, I miss the days of NO caller-ID

When I was a teenager, I used to slide lit firecrackers under the bathroom door when my brother was taking his "morning constitutional". He would FLIP OUT.

Last year he was in town visiting, and I just happened to have some firecrackers (illegal here). Got him again, for old times' sake.

My wife didn't think it was funny at all, but my brother and I laughed all day.

I'm sure if I remembered my drunken HS and college days I'd have many good ones. One I remember.....

Roommate of mine got absolutely *****faced, passed out in his room. When he passed out, he seriously passed out. So we went into his room, folded his crappy mattress in half with him in it like a sandwich, then carried him outside in front of our apartment. We then also moved his bedframe outside, and set up his bed. Our apartment was in a big complex, and on the main floor next to the parking lot. That means everyone in the adjacent buildings had to walk past our place to get to their car. My roommate awoke the next morning to three girls laughing at him. He was in his boxers on his bed outside, and he had pissed himself. Good stuff......

Rob, love your story about the ugly girl. Another roommate of mine was hooking up with a dog ugly girl one night at a party. Being good friends we tried to warn him, then I went home early. It didn't help that she had a bad reputation as a slut. The next morning I awoke early, as I always do, and heard voices in his adjacent room. Knowing exactly what had happened, and what his response would be, I quickly woke my girlfriend (now wife) and we dashed out to our living room couch. A few minutes later he dashes past us and out the door, the puzzled girl in question trailing behind him. We just sat there and smiled. He still catches ***** for that.

I don't usually like practical jokes because they get out of hand with the "one-upmanship" factor, but I've done a few, only as payback:

Small rocks inside a hubcap on a work truck, large zip ties around the drive shaft between the mufflers can make lots of noise, one time I poured a box of talcum powder inside the bottom of a radiator fan shroud. The guy thought his engine was on fire when he started it up. that one is a bit destructive as it can clog an air filter so it should be a last resort.

But ... my best one ever was:
a co-worker liked to play with prussian blue. If you're not familiar with that product, it is a blue dye paste used to check bearing contact and it GETS EVERYWHERE!
A little tiny bit can go a long way.
Well this clown thought it would be a good idea to put some inside the headband on my hardhat. I ended up with tiny blue dots on my forehead, pissed me off. I told him I was gonna get him good so he was real paranoid for a few weeks but nothing happened.
Then one night he was taking his wife to dinner and had to stop for gas on the way. By the time he got to the rerstaurant his wife asked, "what do you have all over you?" Seems his gas cap was covered with prussian blue and he didn't notice it until he had it all over his hands, his pocket, his keys, his face, his door handle, you get the picture.

In the 1970’s I worked in a plumbing supply house. Lots of macho types in and out all the time ...sooooooo …I built a ‘mongoose cage’.

Imagine: Front half was chicken-wire mesh (top, sides) with a wooden base, I had some straw in there and a jar lid attached to the base with water (drinking) always in it.

The wood base extended back into the ‘house’ (all wood) part of the cage. A curved opening let the ‘mongoose’ traverse between solid box and wire mesh. The solid part had a top that was hinged at the front (mesh end) and had a large clasp at the back to lock it down.

There was actually no real mongoose. Below the hinged lid was attached a LARGE, spring loaded, rat trap (think Industrial Strength standard mouse trap). Also on the underside of the lid was a curved wire that attached to a brown, woman’s, wig that I had drug through some mud and let dry (dirty/messy looking).

I would attach the wig on the hook, compress the large spring and then close the lid so that just a tiny amount of dirty, matted hair was visible to anyone looking through the mesh cage and into the opening of the solid box.
(“I can see it in there!”)

I always kept a large, leather, high-cuffed glove laying on the cage.

On the top of the lid, written in RED magic marker was:
“Mongoose! DO NOT OPEN this lid!”

We sat the cage out on the loading dock and the trick was … to have someone ask about it? Inquire? Curiosity? Want to see it.

I would go out, make a big production of putting on the leather glove and then manipulate the cage so that the wire end was towards them.
When I released the latch the heavy spring would slam the wooden lid open and hurl the ‘mongoose’ with much velocity …RIGHT AT the observer, usually hitting them in the chest!

So for a split second, they see this mass of brown ‘fur’ rushing at them!

Ahhh ….Youth!
