What's The Craziest Practical Joke You Ever Did?

[BamBams]

Come on fellas!  Let's hear about them.  When I was growing up - high school, etc - we LOVED pranking our friends, innocent bystanders, etc.

I've got one to share, but I'll wait and see what you've done first.  

Let's keep the posting clean okay?

[jh45gun]

I love jokes but never got into practical ones it always seems that some one gets carried away or some one mad. The last one we did which was harmless was a guy we know who shoots on our pool team aways wears white dress shirts so one night we went to our pool league as a team all dressed up in white shirts. He thought we were making fun of him so it did not go over too well. He did not get that upset but you never know how some one might take your joke. I guess you have to know first wether they are into practical jokes or not.

When I wa in high school we took a kid's VW bug and carried it up the front steps to the main entrance of the school.  Does that count?

Junior year in high school 3 or 4 of my friends and myself were on an all day fishing trip on the river. We took along a cooler with lunchmeat, chips bread, mustard , ketchup, boiled eggs, soda pop, and various other things. One of the guys wanted a sandwich so I fixed him up a big ole bologna and cheese and mayo sandwich and when he wasn't looking I put 2 or 3 nightcrawlers in it. I handed it to him and he took a huge bite and started making all kinds of faces, he looked at his sandwich and began throwing up right away. The rest of us were cracking up laughing so hard but all he could do was give me a good cussing because he was troo sick to do anything.

A few years ago, a group from work took a 16 passenger van on a road trip to look at some expensive equipment.  Just about everyone in the van worked in law enforcement or corrections.  We started back late, with the world's best driver behind the wheel (call him Frank), and everyone else urging him to get us home fast.   We were on an interstate when the blue lights appeared.   Frank pulled over, and when the trooper approached the car, all of us passengers took turns thanking him for saving us from the madman behind the wheel.   The trooper asked for ID, and got 15 sets of creds and a press card.  The troopers in this state (which will remain unnamed) are not know for their sense of humor, but this one broke under pressure.  We all had a good laugh at Frank's expense,and proceeded on our way a little slower than previously.  To this day, Frank turns colors if someone mentions that road trip.

Back when I was about 12 years old, I had this friend named "Joey."
One summer Saturday, I was sitting at home watching television and there was a knock on the door.  It was Joey.

Joey held a large, cardboard box in his hands and asked me if I would like some gerbils.  Evidently, Joey's gerbils had been breeding frequently, and his mother insisted that he get rid of them.  I'd say there were about 10 gerbils in that box.

Well, seeing how I was bored to begin with, I offered to help my friend find new owners for his gerbils since I couldn't take any off his hands myself.  So off we went, knocking on door after door.  There just weren't any takers though.  Minutes turned into hours, and we were becoming rather disappointed and getting kinda hungry too.  Joey's mom had told him not to bring the gerbils back home under any circumstances.  I really felt sorry for him.

Just when we thought it was a lost cause, we were walking across this large parking lot at a bank.  A blue car with a middle aged lady quickly pulled up nearly hitting us both.  The lady then hurriedly went into the bank as if we didn't even exist after she nearly ran us over.  

Well, Joey and I noticed that she had left her driver's side window rolled half way down.  We both looked into eachother's eyes and it was obvious that we were both on the same page.  So into the car went about 10 gerbils. The box went into a nearby dumpster, and Joey and I then beat feet all the way home.

To that woman I say, please forgive us, because we forgive you for nearly running us over.  I hope we didn't steal too many years from your life.

I hardly know where to start so I'll just post one for now. In grade school there was a substitute teacher that we couldn't stand. Miss Mary was a spinster, never married, and mean as a rattler, or so we thought. The first thing every morning she would sit down at the desk and open the top drawer for her papers. One morning, after a few pleasantries, she opened the drawer and somehow :-D a 4 ft long blacksnake slithered right out into her lap. She let out a blood curdling scream, kicked the chair back, on rollers, and hit her head on the radiator heater, knocking her out colder than a hammer. We were ALL punished, even lil ole me. POWDERMAN.              :-D  :-D  :-D  :-D

While on a 'Jeep trip', with 3 other friends we drove to the top of a nearby mountain, which had some radio and TV towers at it's peak.  This was a deluxe operation, having a metal porta-poddy on it's asphalt parking lot.  While we were shooting pistols down off the back of the mountain, I noticed a friend head for the porta-poddy. After he got inside, I signaled to the others to watch. I pitched a rock which hit the toilet, and fired my pistol (in a safe direction) at the same time. He screamed "I'm in here" a dozen times in six seconds!  We all had a good laugh at his expense.  It was childish but it was funny at the time, and we all were very aware of where we shot.

[BamBams]

Hahaha!  Those porta potties can be hazardous!  We used to bring one to the shootin' range.  The door was kept shut with a little wood peg through a hasp.  Ya never knew when someone was going to lock you in there by putting the peg back in!

Ouch!  It was all in fun but ended badly.  With a couple of college buddies, we stuffed the drains in the bathroom on the floor below us in the dorm and turned on all the water in all the sinks and showers.  We lived on the 7th floor and they on the 6th.  We hit them about 2:30am on a Sunday morning, expecting someone would come home from a bar or get up to take a whiz.  Anyway, no body noticed till about 8:30 the next morning, when the dorms resident manager saw the water was pouring down the elevator shaft.  Rooms on the far end of the floor had 3-4 inches on the floor.  Books, record albums, class projects were all floating around in kids rooms.  I fully expected to be expelled, but graduated with honors.  I learned my lesson about unintended consequences though.

[FWiedner]

I was about 10 years-old and had been watching The 3-Stooges.

I got the bright idea of placing a bucket of water above a doorway and rigging it so that my older brother would get soaked when next he exited through that door.

I waited in a concealed position behind our dog's house where I would be able to observe my trap being sprung.

When my brother opened the door and stepped through, the entire bucket of water came down on top of his head, bottom first.  There was no sudden torrent of cold water or suprised shriek, just an odd "thud".

It was like he had been clubbed.  Knees buckled, straight to the deck.

I was laughing wildly as I ran from behind the dog-house.  I had to force myself to catch my breath so that I could ask him if he was all-right.

He stood up and punched me squarely in the nose.

Haven't been much of a practical joker since then.

Another time a friend of mine left his keys in his car and left it sitting on main street in town. We took it and hid it in another friends barn for 3 days. He wasn't too happy and reported it as stolen. At the end of the 3rd day under the cover of darkness we returned it to the exact same place he left it. To this day I still don't think he knows what happened and I sure am not going to tell him.

I had two friends in High School, Barry & Mickey, that were always messing with eachother.  

One day, Mickey put a dead chicken in Barry's locker.  No biggie.  We were all farm people.  Barry disposed of the chicken in the trash.

Well, Barry, not to be out done, put a dead fish in Mickey's locker.  The problem was, Mickey got sick and didn't come to school for about three days.

You would NOT believe the stink in that hallway.  Finally, the assistant principle found the fish.

when i was little my dad smeared toothpaste on the phone earpiece and dialed it so it would ring.

no one answered the phone and he said "are you going to answer that or not"
so i threw the phone to my ear and got toothpaste in my hair and down my ear. he thought that was hilarious.

so i took our pump soap dispenser and filled his new moccasins with a half inch of soap.

strangely he didnt think that was nearly as funny.

but i did.

One halloween, as a lad, I smeared blue cheese on a buddys truck manifold. It was funny til 2 days later he picked me up to go hunting.It was not funny driving down theroad with the windows down in the winter. It still stunk in December when it was 0.
In grade school we put a cat in the principals glove box in his car. He started the car, the cat would squall, he got out, looking under and around the car but finding nothing. He repeated this several times. Finally he opened the glove box, the cat jumped right in his face, he wasn't cut up too bad. Evidently the cat hadn't crapped all day either. POWDERMAN.  :-D  :-D  :-D  :-D

Evidently the cat hadn't crapped all day either. POWDERMAN.  :-D  :-D  :-D  :-D

I laughed so hard I almost cried when I saw this. I can just imagine that. *MEEOWWRRRR....ppffftttttt*    :-D . Wow...

25+ years ago I bought a 3 story brick house on so 2nd st in Lou Ky. The 1st floor was being used by a couple whose house was being renovated 2 doors down. He, a college prof, she, a student. They moved into their new home halloween weekend. I visited a few days later. They told me about a ghost they had. Doors creaking, chains rattling and dragging on the floor, footsteps, and low groans of pain. I said, you did research the history before you bought didn't you? They said, of course, it was built by a dr around the turn of the century. I said, yes, he was a dr of sorts,uhh, I gotta go. She said, you know something don't you? I said, uhhhh, I gotta go. She grabbed my arm and said, you better tell us. I said, well, he was kind of a dr. He liked to do tests and experiment, uhhhh, on live people. Drunks, homeless, and transients started disappearing all over lou. One of his victims lived to escape and told the law. They surrounded this house. He wasn't about to be taken alive, pointing upward I said, he hung himself from that rafter, he jumped from the stairs. The police found what was left of 37 bodies buried in your basement. By this time these 2 well educated folks were speechless. I said, see ya later and left. None of this was true, except the dr part, he was.
Later they decided that their ghost lived under the stairs. They hired 3 different contractors to tear out the enclosure, they all got scared and left. They finally hired an older gent. He started in and she heard him hollering at something. He said, spook, you best jest git on out of here, I got a wife and 5 kids to feed so you jest git. He finished the job and their ghost disappeared. POWDERMAN.

[JPSaxMan]

Now that wasn't very nice, now was it?   . But I'm sure it was fun  :-D  

[BamBams]

Wow!  Some of you guys are onery!

Okay, here's one from when I worked as the evening manager of "Aqualand" - age 16.

Somehow, we aquired this large, Pacu.  It's a fish.  It was the only fish we had to feed Goldfish to.

One night, a customer and I made a "bet" as to how many Goldfish the Pacu could eat.

Well, we had a tank full of "feeder" Goldfish.  So we started feeding the Pacu.  We put about 25 Goldfish in the tank.  I'm not kidding when I say that water was splashing everywhere and the lid on the Pacu tank was bouncing up and down like a kettle of boiling water.

After that binge - we put in about another 25 Goldfish.  Same thing!  By the time we were done, the Pacu tank was only 25% full of water, and the Pacu could only lay sideways on the bottom of the tank.

The next evening, the Pacu looked ready to go again!  He was all excited and happy to see me!  I swear I detected a smile on his face.

The same halloween, same old house in Lou. I drove a stake at the edge of the sidewalk, only about 25 ft from the house. I tied some clear mono fishing line to it and tied the other end inside the house from the 3rd floor window. I taped a stick about 2 ft long to a hanger, then draped part of a white sheet on it, weighting the bottom with fishing sinkers. I then attached fishing line on my rod and reel to the hanger. The hanger was then hung on my original line, then I waited. Didn't take long, here came some trick or treaters. He he he he, could hardly wait. When they got real close I let go of the line, the hanger, ghost, went flying down at them as I squalled and screamed. Scared the crap out of them, and me. They ran into each other trying to get away from the ghost, and then ran right out into the street. That scared the crap out of me. I retrieved my ghost as fast as I could. I removed all evidence of what could have been a disaster. POWDERMAN.        

[powderman]

Another halloween prank I remember was some guys, I was not involved, took a roll of toilet paper, put the end on the white center line of the highway, put a rock on it to keep it there, at the beginnging of a curve, and ran it straight out into a hay field. I was not witness to this, but was told that there were several vehicles that ended up in that hayfield. Thankfully, Nobody was hurt. POWDERMAN.

A particulaly objectionable 1st class petty officer in the Coast Guard had his tool box tack welded shut. Holes were drilled and zerk fittings installed. Then the proper amount of lubricant was applied, to finish the job.

He became less objectionable, almost friendly.

Dali Llama say this prank date back approximately one-quarter century.  Dali have friend, XX, who build home in somewhat upscale neighborhood.  XX immediately proceed to install 12 foot diameter satellite dish in front yard, away from trees.  Dali make up fake letter from homeowner's association and send to XX, asking him to remove satellite dish, as it not fit with ambiance of neighborhood.  XX mention letter to Dali, and ask what to do.  Dali tell XX he had better comply, perhaps move dish to back yard.  XX move dish, with negative effect on reception.  Dali then compose second letter to XX from homeowner's assocation, telling him that while appreciated, the mere movement of the dish not be acceptable.  XX call Dali and ask what to do.  Dali suggest paint dish with camouflage paint to make it blend with nature.  XX paint dish, further negatively impacting reception.  At this point Dali end involvement, and mysterious letters from homeowner's association cease... :-D

Our high school was notorious for clever senior pranks, with each year's class trying to outdo the others.  The year before ours, the seniors got together and bought one of those old surplus Jeeps for $64, and took it completely apart.  Over two weekend nights shortly before graduation, they managed to hoist all the parts over one side of a building, and down into the courtyard in the middle.  Then they put it all back together.  Monday morning, teachers show up to find a fully assembled Jeep in the courtyard.  It took the maintenance crews almost a week to get it out of there, and they had to remove two huge glass panes to do it!

The following year it was our turn.  One local genius figured out a way to rig a pulley system that attached to the top of the school's flagpole.  Then we raided every used tire place in town and bought as many $2 cheapies as we could get.  Using the pulley system overnight, we hoisted 104 tires up and over the flagpole, which was about 50 feet high.  The school administration never did figure out how we got them so high, because the building by the flagpole was only two stories tall.  They had to cut the tires off with a chain saw, and it took a full day.  They never found out how we did it.

In my packing house days we always had something going. At one time I had an ole boy that packed, using my hot water pot to heat up his cans of soup and such everyday. Told the old man next to me I was gonna fix him up. That next day...true to form he placed a can in...I replaced it with a can of cat food. With labels off, they were identical. Put his off in another one. Lordy, when he opened that can up at lunch time... :-)  stink is putting it mildly. What made it funny is no one else knew about it and were all trying to figure out what it was.  :grin:  I ended up going down and getting his because he was starving.
Later on down the line...we done it again...this time we placed it in a barrel of dry ice. Froze it solid as concrete, we put it back in the hot water about 10-15 minutes before chow to get the outside of the can hot.  :grin:  At lunch he broke his plastic spoon when he stuck it in the can. No one cracked a smile...cause he jumped up...said "that SOB"..."I'm gonna kill him"! Threw the can up against the wall and out the door he went heading down stairs towards our foremans office.  :-)  You see, our foreman would go around before lunch shutting off the steam, I guess trying to conserve. Well anyway, he got halfway there and figured out that can wouldn't of froze by shutting off the steam. When he came back in he was one mad old man.  :-)  Course no one smiled cause there'd a been a fight right then and there.  :-)  Later on he caught me and my buddy laughing about it...he was cooled down by then.  :-)  We laughed about it for years. So that's just a couple of our many, many exploits down there.

Everybody at the plant knows that Sammy is not the brightest bulb in the chandelier.  So, one day Sammy saunters into the break room and Jesse gets him to one side and sez, "Sammy, you gotta talk to your wife man.  She called up here on the pay phone awhile ago and was talk'n to one of the guys and she told him you gotta small pecker"!  Well, Sammy made it home that night and really read his wife the riot act.  Every once in awhile somebody will remind him of that and his face gets really red.

Many years ago I was squirrel hunting and saw a guy sitting up against a tree a ways downhill from me. I knew him, he was a braggart, nobody was as good a hunter as him, he could hear a squirrel fart a hundred yards away, or so he said. I decided to sneak up on him. It took a good while, but I got right behind the tree he was sitting against. I had carefully set my gun down about 10 ft from there to free both hands. I reached around the tree and put a hand on each shoulder, squeezed, and growled real low.  He jumped up screaming, his shotgun landed at least 10 ft away. He ran away screaming bloody murder, must have covered 50 yds before he noticed me laughing. He never smarted off to me again. POWDERMAN.  :-D  :-D  :-D  :-D  :-D  :-D

A long time ago..I was working for a small hospital on the  mid-nite shift.. it  had one of the old style morgues in it...basicly a room with a steel disecting table and a small cooler...where the shelves pull out sideways.....one of the guys I worked with thought it would be funny to scare one of the cleaning crew...one in paticular that was afraid to be in there in the first place...so...my co-worker..took off his shoes and I made a toe tag up for him and put it on his big toe...and covered him up with a sheet on top of the slide out table...while he waited on the table in the cooler for ole Henry to amble in to start his cleaning...I was to accompany him down there on pretence to do some work on the cooler and give my co-worker a pre-arranged signal(cough 2x) to let him know it was us...all went according to plan.. and  I opened the cooler and started working on the sliding table part  When Henry saw the body on the "slab" he instantly became extreamly nervous...and I when I coughed twice...my co-worker raised straight up moaning loudly...Ole Henry peed his pants running straight out...he was so scared he ran out of  the building screaming and we were laughing so hard we cried...ole Henry wouldn't never set foot in there again...and would walk on the opposite side of the hall when passing the door...

I had just gotten remarried ,and my new wife knowing how much I was into guns , wanted to buy me one for Christmas.
I told her not to spend that much on me ,but she insisted that if I didn't tell her what gun I really wanted that she would just pick one out and buy it.
Soooooooo, I told her what I really wanted but never bought for myself because it was a LITTLE out of my price range was a-----HOLLAND & HOLLAND dbl. rifle in 375 or 458!! :shock:
Seeing as the most I ever spent on a gun was in the $500 range.
I also told her that it wasn't a very popular gun around here and she might not find one at the gun dealers in these parts
Told her she would more than likely have to order one,lol
Well she ended up going to the locol gun store and asked if they had a Holland & Holland in 375 :shock:  :lol:  :lol:
THE guy looked at her sorta funny and said --"No"
So she said how about one in 458?
The guy is giving her a strange look now and says "No"
So she matter of factly say's "Well can you order me one and have it here before Christmas?"
The dealer looks at my wife and asks"Do you know how much a Holland & Holland costs?"
Wife (thinking around $500) says "No---how much?"
Dealer breaks the news to her "About $10,000 to start!!!"
 :shock: Wife :shock:  :oops:
Wife knows she has been set up :twisted:
Wife refers to loveing husband in terms best  used to describe a
fatherless dog
Gun dealer and two customers get a big kick out of my lil joke on wife :lol:
Soooo , this is the part that shows how crul my loveing wife can be :twisted:
A few days before Christmas around 11 o-clock at night she looks at me and says"Your going to be surprized at what I got you for Christmas." :twisted:
I play along and say "What you get me? my gun I wanted?"
She says "yes smart ass :twisted: "
I say" you did huh? --where you get it at?"
She names gun store. Then tells me they didn't have one so she ordered it :shock:
Hmmmmm? So I say with a big smile "Well how much did it cost?"
She says "Almost $10,000 "
Me looking at wife knowing she knows how to use a credit card    :eek: I say yeah right "
Wife gets up goes to desk and gets out a bill of sale made out for a Holland & Holland 375 dbl rifle for the small sum of $9,995.00 :shock:
AAAAAAAAAGH!!-- I ask her with my calmest voice at the top of my lungs "ARE YOU CRAZY? We have to get to the gun dealer as soon as they open and hopefuly stop him before he sends out the order.
Wife lets me rant for about 15 min. then lets me off the hook.
The evil woman of mine got the dealer to write a fake  bill of sale for my Holland & Holland just to get even with me :twisted:
Can't believe how mean such a sweet lil woman can be :roll:
