Practical Jokes

[haybierman]

I was conversing with some co-workers the other day about practical jokes we have pulled in the past on other friends. I'd like to hear some of your better ones that you've either done or have at least contemplated.

This is my favorite to date:

My co-worker did this to a friend...

While his friend was sleeping, my co-worker Phil got into the friend's car, rolled down the driver side window, and then spread shattered glass all over the front seat and placed a big rock on the seat so it basically looked like someone threw a rock through his window. His friend woke up the next morning and flipped out. I thought this story was hilarious.

Tell me some...

Alright, I have some college practical jokes we pulled:

First, the pee puck. Very simple. You take a water bottle that has a flat bottom. You pee about half an inch in it, then freeze it. Then, once hardened, you pop out the puck and in the middle of the night, slide it under someone's door. By morning, it has melted on their floor and voila, practical joke.

This one takes a little bit of planning. Take a vacuum cleaner. While unplugged, tape it into the on position. I mean, tape it really really good. Take the vacuum and hide it in someone's room (when we did it, it was in the guy's closet). Run the cord along the wall and discretely out into the hallway. When the victim goes to bed, someone sneeks in, and tapes the light switch in the off position. I mean, tape this really good too! Then, the fun begins. Simply plug the vacuum in somewhere in the hallway. Vacuum turns on, victim wakes up disoriented. He can't turn the light on because its taped off. He can't turn the vacuum off because it's taped on. To add to the situation, make sure you keep his door secured closed so he can't open it. AND to add EVEN MORE fun, have someone inside the room videotape it with nightvision. We did this often in college.

Lastly, one thing you can do that might cause a lot of damage is take a huge trashcan, fill it with water, lean it against someone's closed door, knock, and run. They will get flooded.

HAHA awesome. I love the vacuum cleaner one.

That made me think of one I did in college... not so much a practical joke but more messing with someone...

In college we had separate dorm rooms but shared a bathroom in between rooms with one other person. It just so happened the toilet was next to my door. One night, my suite-mate Frank was taking a leak (he was obviously drunk) so I sneaked up to the door and started slapping my hands against it and screaming. Needless to say i had to clean up the mess but it was worth it.

Sryan wrap the underside of the toilet seat. Then put the toilet seat back down. Then when your buddies decide to pee the games begin.

Here are a couple from the firehouse. First one I did the second someone else did.

We had one female firefighter on the shift after me so I took a CPR dummy dressed in a uniform and hung it in the female shower. And since she is the only one in the fire department, she was assured to see it. I closed the curtain so it wouldn't be seen till she went to get in. I guess, I didn't actually hear it, when she was going in she screamed so loud that the two guys on her shift heard in the kitchen whcih is a good four walls away.

The next was kind of the same thing done by some guys another shift. Two guys take the same dummy and put in a guys sleping bag on his bed. So when he went in, he kind of got a surprise. He paid one guy back really well. He knew when the engineer was going to bed so he went in his room and laid under the bed. And he waited and he waited. The engineer comes in his room, sits on his bed, takes his boots off and put his feet on the floor. Then it happened. The guy laying under the bed grabs the guys ankle. As the third guy descibed it, he went running out of his room screaming like a little girl. I wish I could have been there. To this day the engineer who got had always looks under his bed before he gets in!!

I will write a couple more tomorrow.

I heard a new one today...

1. Take about a 5 minute video of the inside of your bathroom.
2. When you have company over, wait for someone to go to the bathroom
3. While they're in there doing their business, pop in the pre-recorded tape and gather everyone around the TV.
4. When the friend walks out of the bathroom he will be petrified to see everyone gathered around the TV (seeing the pre-recorded bathroom video on the tv) as he will think everyone was watching him.

..applause adds to the fun.

When we would deploy you'd have to come up with ways to make the time go by faster so my Air Force buddies and I would always play jokes on each other. Here were some of my favorites:

Air crews would take black shoe polish and put it around the edges of one of their buddies crew mask. When they'd put it on during the aircraft preflight inspection to fit it to make sure it was good for flight, it would leave a big black circle from the bridge of the nose all the way down to the chin. As the crew chief, I'd have to call life support shop to bring out another mask for that crew members helmet for the flight.

2). The bloody toilet -- When we'd get deployed and have to stay in 40-man barracks, we'd take ketchup packets and line them around the toilet's brim and then put the lid down. When someone came to take a crap and sat down, the ketchup would squirt all over their legs and (actually it would go everywhere).

3). When I flew on C-130's, we would often open the ramp and door at the back of the plane in flight and put on a harness and sit on the very edge with our feet hanging off the cargo ramp. It was a thrill because you would lean forward a foot or two and be staring straight down to the ground from the back of the plane. Before flight, if we knew we were doing low-level flying and had a maintenance person who was flying for the first or second time, we'd explain to them during the preflight that we were going to open the doors and hang our feet out, but we had to make sure the harness was measured out correctly so no one would fall out. They'd strap the harness on go towards the back and we'd tell them to lean so that it is tight. We usually kept the harness tight enough so that their was only one or two feet left at the back of the cargo ramp (just enough slack to sit your butt down one feet or so from the edge). We would explain to them how to hold on and what to look for as far as safety. Once in flight, we'd hook up our harnesses and head back towards the ramp. The thing the newbie didn't know was that the loadmaster was holding on to about 2 feet of slack in the newbie's harness strap as they headed back to the edge of the open ramp/door. When the newbie got to the back of the open doors and pulled tight, the loadmaster would let go of the slack causing the newbie to lurch forward quickly. I had this done to me also on my first low-level flight and almost crapped myself. One minute your strap feels nice and secure and the next second you think your going to fall to your death. Luckily the strap would go tight within seconds and tighten back up. The newbie would then sit down on the edge shaking a bit from being partly scared out of their wits and partly from being so mad at the rest of us).

Our bunkrooms had a various numbers of beds in one of our stations. So what did we? We set the all the alarm clocks on different times, some with an alarm, some with different types of music. But then when the guy thought we figured it out he didin't realize there was strapped under his bed!! When it went it, he did also. He started pulling plugs not knowing this was a battery operated one.

My engineer tried to get the same guy with a smoke detector. We placed the smoke detector so that when he got on his bed the detector would go off as if you were testing it at home. What was strange was that he never said anything about it. Come to find out we did the wrong bed!! It worked but just not the right guy.

These are so funny!


A couple years ago, I had just got done drying my hair. I was taking the hair dryer back to the bathroom and got a great idea! The bathroom was right next to my room. My younger sister's bed was right by the doorway against the bathroom wall side. There was a plug in right inside the bathroom. Sooo I plugged the hair drier up. I peeked around the corner into my room. My younger sister was laying on her bed. I quickly put the hair drier by the door way to our room.. I turned it on and stuck it half in there. She screamed sooooo loud! HAHAHAHAHA
I still crack up thinking about that.

About 3 years ago Ash, our younger sister, one of her friends, and I were watching some of the Halloween movies. My dad went outside and banged on our bedroom window! Scared us to death!

Next week I might have another one to tell..... something else for my little sister. Ash and I have something planned for her birthday.......
