I'm not sure that the statute of limitations has run out on all the pranks I've played in the past, so I'll plead the 5th on this one.  :-X [smiley=laugh.gif]

I saw this on another website:    can you imagine??


I have one planned for my parents:

My parents anniversary is April 2 - been together almost 40 years. Happily married I might add. My dad is in NYC for a funeral, mom is in Florida where they recently retired to. So, my joke, I'm sending divorce papers to my mom. Don't worry, I am also sending flowers and sending them on a cruise for their anniversary. I just wish I could see the look on her face when she gets the fed ex package with divorce papers with my dad alleging she cheats, wants the house, the boat, the retirement package.

Boss prank...

this one was bad, almost had my boss in tears

Before she came in, I managed to have her entry badge deactivated, her locks to her office changed, and empty boxes stacked outside the door.  She was told she had to be escorted to her office, where our VP was standing with a stack of 'letters'.  We were all (7 of us) taken to a conference room where we all opened our letters one by one.  My boss was simply dumbfounded.  All of our letters were copies of severence packages that had been going out (downsizing), but when she finally opened hers (last, of course) it had big block letters "April Fool".

Didn't like her much.

Well, for my boss…this wasn’t for April Fool’s day.  But there was a couple of month’s of non-stop work while we were launching our first analyzer and during that time when I asked him for a day off, just to recoup, he’d always have an answer…“not a good time right now, we need you now, soon, after the launch…”  We were working 14 hour days and many Saturdays…I was also in cycle.  Two months of this and I was a zombie…

During a department meeting, in the middle of the meeting, I got up from my chair, climbed on the table, crawled slowly across the conference table, and pretended to collapse of exhaustion, practically on his lap…

After they all stopped laughing, my boss gave me the rest of the week off…

Don’t recommend you do this unless your boss is as cool as mine…LOL

Word to the wise-Langa does strange things when she’s excessively tired… :-[

One of the nurses at the Army clinic I was stationed at, was on a rant about specimens being stored in the staff's food refrigerator. NOBODY had done that. She just needed something to bitch about at an in-service. That night, on break, I bought a Milky Way out of the snack machine, melted it in the microwave a little, then "molded it" into a rather fecal shape. Then I put it in a clear baggie and paperclipped a bogus lab slip to it, designating it as a stool sample, and then laid it in the food refrigerator.

The next day, I was on evening shift, and just as I was coming in the door to start the shift, she comes running (waddling?) down the hall, making this high-pitched keening noise of horror, holding the "stool sample" aloft for all (patients and everyone!) to see. I ducked into the locker room and proceeded to laugh so hard, my ribs were sore, the next day.  [smiley=laugh.gif]

This is one my staff pulled on me.  I still keep a picture of my office that day taped in my scrapbook....

They borrowed a whole bunch of headless manikins (sp?) from a local retail store, put tee-shirts on them and hats on the necks.  They positioned them all over my office - there must have been at least 10 of them - and put a big sign on my closed door that said, "Only a fool would take on the job of leading this mindless bunch."

I laughed till I cried.  It was a good joke, but made me feel loved.  Of course, if you hate your boss, you probably wouldn't want to do anything to make him/her feel loved!

I wanted to play a practical joke on my boss once and had it all set up.  But I chickened out.  But here is how it was supposed to go...

There was a new hire in the sales department, Randy, a single older gentleman with a bit of a fem bent to him.  The VP of Sales, Rob is a 6'2" good looking guy, built like some of the ladies pics of the day.  One day Rob wrote a quick note on Randy's desk calendar to indicate that Randy had missed his birthday.

IWas going to play that one up to the hilt and I went and baught a pair of black satin boxershorts with red metalic chili peppers silk screened on them.  I tucked them into a nice heart shaped box, and put a card in there that read...

" I hope this makes up for missing your birthday.  Maybe you can model these for me Friday night"  ~R

As I said I chickened out and never DID pull the joke off, but I do have a nice pair of sleep shorts now.. ::)

While working in admin for IBM  at HQ at 3424 Wilshire Blvd. I took a roll of twine, and asked a very nice lady to hold one end. IBM needed to measure the front of the building. I walked around the corner of the building, and asked a gentleman to hold the other end. I walked around to the employee entrance and ducked inside and went back upstairs.

I have no idea how long the two of them held the twine. The best practical jokes are without malice. And, you never get to know how they turn out.

P.S. Several of you have been pranked. Dallas folks need not worry. I am on the road.  Be careful opening your car door. You have been warned.

Not April Fools, but a practical joke gone bad.

I was the lead counselor at our church's summer camp for the high school boys.  Our church took like 20-25 boys, and right before camp a bunch fo the TP'd my house.  I knew the ringleader, and decided to get him back.  I took a very small plastic bag, and filled the bottom with baking powder.  I then got the head counselor for the whole camp to get in on the prank.  He came by that night for lights out, and he called me and John and PJ (the ringleaders) outside.  He said that they had gotten a tip from another student that these two were dealing coke.  As per policy, they came in and checked their bags immediatey.  They found this bag.

PJ knew it was a joke, he just figured it out.  John FREAKED.  He was pleading with the Head counselor.  No mercy from him, had to call the police.  He looked to me for some kind of help.  I said "John, he found it in your bag.  How can I believe you?"  I knew things had gone too far when John started to cry.  I gave him a hug, pulled him in close, and whispered "John, its alright.  Its just that this is what happens when you TP my house."

The whole cabin, who had been listening, ignited in laughter.  John, he was 16, I was 22.  John grabbed me and threw me up against the wall, and threw back his fist...and then ran off into the woods crying.  It was about midnight, and me, lead counselor for my church, had a camper out in woods and I didn't know where he was.

To make a long story (a little) shorter, it took me over an hour to find him, and another 2 to convince him to come back to the cabin.  He wouldn't talk to me.  And him and another camper who didn't like me planned to jump me in the woods and kick the crap out of me.  They never did, and John and I eventually made up.  

The thing is, John was the biggest practical joker I ever met in my life.  He just couldn't handle it being played on him.  

I regret doing it because it really hurt him.  However, it was the best practical joke I have ever played in my life.  I'm a little torn.

About 7 or 8 years ago, where I used to work, the manager would ocassionally wear some brightly colored clothes his wife would pick out for him. One day, he showed up wearing a shirt that was very similar in color, and stripe pattern as the local Taco Bell apparel. We  dept. managers,  7 of us, along with one of the assistant managers,  decided to have a little fun.

It was either Monday or Friday, and we were all in our weekly meeting. The telephone system was such that you could dial an extension, then start talking into the phone and it would come out the speaker on the other end. An arrangement was made with one of the salespeople on the floor. About 10 minutes into the meeting, the phone rang, and a voice came out of the phone saying: "I'll have 3 soft shell tacos, a burrito, and  diet coke" Terry, the manager, was standing right next to the phone, and we all just busted out laughing. We were laughing so hard, the tears were flowing. He gave Dave, one of the assitants, a look filled with daggers. We must have laughed for at least 10 minutes straight.

I'm not sure what happened to Dave, it wasn't even his idea.   ;;D

And Terry never wore anything his wife got for him again.

One morning, before my wife and daughter awakened, I took  a bunch of large marshmallows and lined them up in the driveway, spacing them about three feet apart. At the end of the line, I put a little pile of them. Then I took my daughter's sidewalk chalk and drew an arrow to them, and wrote, "Snowman Terds."

I walked outside with them later, and my wife yelled, "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT??" And my daughter was kneeling down, poking one with a stick and saying, "Ewwwwwwwww!!"  [smiley=laugh.gif]

On what was to my last night of work, at a certain Army clinic that I was stationed at, (I had received a much-envied transfer to the local aviation/medevac unit), I went through the clinic and "liberated" every last roll of toilet paper from every lavaratory, and "wiped out" the supply room, as well. (I hope people were wearing long shirttails, that day!)

A doctor had a model of a heart on his desk, and I placed a cigarette in the aorta.

I turned up the volume full-blast on the PA system.

I took a rancid tuna sandwich that I found in the "sacred" staff refrigerator, stuffed it into a specimen cup, and then "installed it" in the ceiling heat register in the chief nurse's office.

In the OB/GYN exam room, there were pull-down charts of the female reproductive system. I taped raunchy centerfolds to them and then rolled them back up.

I did a bunch of other things, but those are the highlights. There were very very good reasons for doing those things, but it basically boiled down to simple revenge. LOL

Due to an incident in High school, I am a few others did not graduate with our class of '88. However, being the meatheads we were, we still got to go to prom (slipped in) as well as smuggle in some goodies. I cannot talk about the outcome of that night, but the milk of magnesia punch and ex lax brownies were a hit! That was just a joke, the punchline was, all of the adjoining bathrooms seats were greased with vaseline!

Our lips were sealed and no one ever found out who crashed the prom. I want to go to the 20th reunion in '08, just to see if anyone is the wiser decades later.


One fave work joke all the workers were in on at a wharehouse I worked at years ago...we had a very hyper/stressed/intense boss who was an ASS! He got a message one day that corporate was coming in the next day for an evaluation. The storeroom was a mess, and when we first went in to work, he was in panic mode on the morning the suits were supposed to come in, we started an argument and one by one said "Screw this. I quit." walked out and clocked out. We all stood silently in the hall while we heard him scream and freak for about 5 minutes! It was cruel yes, but fitting. 10 minutes later we all clocked back in and went to work. About 10 minutes later and he was like, ":What in the hell?" and we just went about our work without saying a word. Almost got fired for that one. Never give the boss a mild stroke. He'll take it out on you later.

Ours was a small unit so our mess was all-ranks.  

It was my turn to plan the next function which, coincidentally, was April 1, so I told everyone it was fancy dress - be there at 1930hrs.  

I later told everyone it was formal-dress, and be there at 1900.  Everyone, that is, except our resident prankster.

So we're all there on time in formal mess-dress, and he turns up half an our later kitted up as the King of England.

I never had to pay for a drink all night.

This morning, I wrapped scotch tape around the handle of the spraygun on the kitchen sink, and pointed it so that it was aiming directly where someone would stand, if they were using the sink.

Mari smacked me in the head for it, as she came in to change her shirt, since the one she'd been wearing now had a huge wet spot on it.

It was worth it.  [smiley=laugh.gif]
