Silly pranks

I'll keep it short...

A cushioned office chair can absorb two coffee pots of water. It will hardly even drip until someone sits in it.

Spare car horns can be powered by the backup light circuit on your buddies car. First time he tries to back up it will take him a while to be certain the coast is clear.

When I was still in the Navy, but at home on vacation, my sister and I got my parents pretty good. Note that my sister was then going through chemo treatments (radioactive pharmacology) and I was working on a nuclear powered submarine. Late one night, with only the television on for light, sis and I broke open some chem-lights and smeered the stuff all over. When we walked into the living room mom was quite terrified about all of the glowing... After about 30 minutes of explanation she was relieved that my sister could still joke around.

nearly 30 years ago I was in a shop that had just hired 2 new fellas right out of the Air Force. They were so happy to have these new jobs and getting paid what they were, and talked it up everyday. One went out and bought an expensive motorcycle, the other bought a big diamond and was making wedding plans. They'd had the jobs about 6 weeks when a rumor went around that positions (each person filled a numbered position) were going to be cut by Congress in order to meet the next years budget. These rumors were frequent and nobody ever paid much attention....until one day in distribution we receive an official memo (bogus, concocted by me) that indeed positions were being cut and it named the particular positions to be cut. Sure enough - it was their 2 positions in our area that were on the hit list. After almost an hour of cold sweats I had to call it off when the one started to call his fiance to tell her they couldn't get married. We have moved over the years and changed agencies - from DOD to DOC -- and we still see each other on occasion -- they swear they still owe me one but have as yet to get me.

If you have anyone you know that is vain about their haircolor, you can cut/tear out some of the "Just for Men" hair color ads, fill in with their name and address, check the box for request more information and free sample, then mail it for them. Also, if they are a little older and don't want to admit it, you can do the same for them with cards from AARP, or some such organization.

When I was a senior in high school, my Dad owned a service station, in which I worked every day. Most folks woudln't believe the things women leave behind in public restrooms, but one day I found a rather large size brassiere, and it even appeared to be pretty clean. At the time, my best friend had graduated the year before and was in the process of moving from his parents' home to an apartment. It so happened that he and a younger brother shared the same car. So one day he stopped by the service station with a load of his clothing in the back seat of the car. When he wasn't looking, I slipped that bra into the back seat under his clothes.

The next day he came to tell me that he fround a bra in the back seat of the car, and as a joke, and assuming it belonged to his mother or younger sister, he had walked into the house where his parents, sister, and brother were watching a TV program and, holding out the bra, asked his brother, "What girl did you take this off of?" He said when they discovered that bra was far too large for his mother or sister, he was sure his younger brother had gotten it somewhere and he was sorry he'd carried it into the house like that. I think both brothers always thought the other one had acquired it, and the parents wondered which one had done it.

And I never told anyone where it came from.

My brother-in-law drives a milk tanker. He was speeding on the way home from the plant one day and was pulled over by an arrogant state trooper. Trooper was being real nasty. Now these trailers are painted down the side like a holstein and have *********Dairy plastered down the side. The trooper asked him what he was hauling. My brother-in-law, on the way home from the plant, told the trooper "sail boat fuel." The trooper asked him why he didn't have his hazard placards on. "I don't need them for sail boat fuel." Trooper storms back to his car and gets on the radio, comes back a couple minutes later, and tells bro' to "get the he** out of here and don't ever come back."

This one has to do with a tractor, just to keep this forum going. At the plant I worked at, they had an old Ford tractor that had a cab on it. If you had to use this thing for any kind of transportation at night, you had to be careful and check the ledges at the top of the cab before you took off. Someone would put a cup of water on the front ledge for when you pulled off, and one on the back ledge for when you braked quickly. A rude awakening when you're half asleep.

In military mechanics tried to make me look stupid and used strawberry jam on the caterpillar tank wheel instead of red grease - only one, but I was smart enough (rare case) - to find out and let them repack the whole tank

But it was a good prank

several years ago a service tech I worked with got a new vehicle. While he had it in the shop getting it all set up a couple of the other techs re-routed the windshield washer hose to the underside of the steering column- and made sure his windshield was in need of a squirt.

Newbies in that shop were given two way radios to install in their truck. The radios were set with a small charge of black powder and an model rocket igniter that went off as soon as the power leads were connected.

Aw come on, I thought that was kind of lame compared to some of these. I thought I pulled some good ones, you guys are some funny ***.

Not at all lame. I could picture myself telling the trooper something along those lines...it hit me right in the gut!

It was also the first time I heard an analogy of air/sailboat fuel...hahaaha

You guys got some good pranks in this tread. Here is one of mine.

I had a friend of mine at work that ws always pulling fast ones on me. So my payback was:
1= Put a whole squid in a jar and let it sit in the sun for a week with lid on. This gets very stinky when cured.
2= I got 4 decent sized clams.
3= doing this during the summer worked real good
This guy comes to work and parks his car so i sneak out of the plant early in the morning and hang the split clams under his car. Then i take the jar of squid and poke holes in the lid and tie it up under the front seat. Then go back to working.
Quitting time comes and we all punch out. We could smell that stuff all over the parking lot area. My friend had a cold so he did not smell it but we could see him swinging at the yellow jackets and flys as he got into his car and drove off.
He comes in late the next morning and what a time he had. He gets home and parks his car with windows open. His mother smells it from within the house and makes him go park it far away so he does. The next morning he gets a wiff of it and still has to battle all the yellow jackets and flys. The smell is pretty good now. I did not know it at the time but he had to take his car in to get his breaks checked. He gets to the garage and the mechanic was gaging from the smell. They get the car up on the lift and see the clams hanging around and the mechanic said to him someone sure had it in for him.They remove the clams and check the breaks and he comes to work. They did know about the squid so he still had the stink plus all the yellow jackets and flys buzzing around. I was in tears when he was telling us about it.
The smell was so bad he had to park the car way in the back of the plants lot. Everyone was complaining about the stench. He looked all over for an hour trying to find the source but could not. I finially break down and tell him I will get the squid out if he buys me breakfast and he agrees. I had to get my full mask respirator and got it out and put a new lid on it. I swear you could smell that squid threw the glass it was so bad.
He never pulled any more tricks on me. I kept the jar of yuk and would show him it and he would always ask what i wanted for breakfast just so I would not do it again. We all got a good laugh out of it.

We had a fella at work that liked to pull the kind of pranks like the windshield wiper hose trick. He liked to find a parts cleaning sink on the plant that had a hose on the spickot. He would stick a small bolt in the end of the hose and punch a well place hole further up the hose so that you'd get a good shower before you realized something was wrong. He would wet you in many different ways. He would show you the funnel/quarter prank. you would balance a quarter on your forehead while looking up and put the funnel in the top of your pants. Then you would look down and try to drop the quarter into the funnel. Only thing was before you could drop the quarter, he filled the funnel with water. He did this to his supervisor, who happened to be a woman. Thought he'd get fired, but somehow she didn't want to explain how he wet her.
Had to find a way to pay him back for all he had done to everyone else, myself included. He loved to read cowboy paperbacks when we had a minute or two at work (break, lunch. etc). Well, I came up with the idea that when he set the book down, he would fold a page to mark where he was. I'd pick up the book and turn it back several pages (10-20). Did this about 10 times during the read. When he finished that book, he said he wouldn't buy anymore of that author's books because he kept on repeating himself. Never told him what I did.

i "Most folks woudln't believe the things women leave behind in public restrooms..."

Yeah... My fiancee' left her diamond engagement ring on the sink counter at a CVS restroom on our way to the company Christmas party a few years back. She went cold when she remebered about it a few miles down the road. Luckily, it was still there when we got back. I remind her of it every now and then, when I don't mind a dirty look...

here's one my Dad pulled years and years ago. Neighbor bought a new car and was very proud of it and just wouldn't shut up about it. Dad being a trucker came in all hours of the night ... and over several weeks kept adding a gallon or two of gas to the neighbors tank. This of course just redoubled the man's bragging about the mileage he was getting. ... Then - Dad reversed it and started siphoning a gallon or two out .... Then one Saturday we were driving by the car dealership (only one in town) and there was the neighbor raising all kinds of stink with the mechanic about why his mileage dropped like it did. I don't think Dad ever did tell him.

Another thing we did lots of times, especially to individuals who knew very little about automobiles, but were proud of the one he/she had, was to stretch a 12" to 18" piece of bicycle inner tube over the end of the tailpipe. It certainly makes for a funny sounding exhaust.

I don't play pranks on people anymore...
We were throwing a tennis ball in shoulder deep water, playing keep-away from a friends dog. "W" threw the ball halfway between me and the dog and I got to it about half a second before the dog did. Tooth went in between my thumb and finger as he clamped down. The next day, I called "W" at work and told him that I was in the hospital, room ___, and my arm was swollen up the size of my thigh. They needed the dog, because the doc couldn't figure out what was causing it. He said he would be there in a half hour with the dog. I let him off the hook, and told him to that I was going to call his wife with the story, but wasn't going to let her off the hook, but tell her to call him to get the address of where to take the dog. He got called into a meeting and couldn't take the phone call from her. She took the afternoon off to get the dog, had flowers delivered to the bogus room, and wanted to kill me when she found out.
A month or two later they got me back with one that cured me of pulling pranks on people. We won't be discussing that one here.

Growing up late 50's in rocket city USA (Huntsville AL) had kids thinking space. Our best space prank was to attach a carbide lamp to big homemade kite and fly it behind bike at nite in different areas of town. PS Is this thread PG or higher? Wouldn't want any kids I know to read some of this

Here's a useful prank that you might plan for if your employer provides a refrigerator for you to store lunches and you're having a problem with someone stealing your 'brown bag lunch'.
Get a jar of 'jalapino jelly' (county fairs usually sell them) and make two sandwiches. One of the sandwiches has the special jelly. When the thief bites into it he'll learn not to steal other peoples lunch. The nice thing is that you can't be accused of trying to poison the guy 'I like it that way'. At the very least you'll find out who the thief is.
