pranks and practical jokes


When did you last play a trick on someone? Dirty or cheap or any other prank? Something like a school time trick or April fools joke? A practical joke? I have to admit I was never really good or creative at it.

When I was 10 we (my whole school class) wanted to hide from the teacher, at the time we thought that would be really funny. In the last minute we got scared the she would get angry and wanted to go back to class, I sprained my foot and the ligaments in my left foot ankle twitched.

Or it was tradition that after the final exams in high school we would blemish the cars of our teachers. We did not get much more creative then putting tooth paste under the door handle of their cars or wrap them in toilette paper.


And the only person I repeatedly can play April fools jokes on with success is my granny.

It seems that I am a hopeless case, but is anyone out there better?

Is there actually anyone out there with more interesting, creative or to say it as it is – with actually funny pranks??? Do funny pranks exist? Please share your experiences with me! Any smart, clever, quick-witted practical joke you know of? Maybe one you did one yourself or it was played on you? Or at least something you heard of?

The story with your granny is hilarious.

I can add a small story myself, which I've posted on my blog some time ago. It's about this guy I met who (after some hot encounter at a bar) gave me his number. I sent him a text message and called him the next day, but it was the number of some random latina woman.

Some weeks ago I met this dragqueen at a bar who gave her hot encounter her businesscard so he could call her the next day. In fact, it was a businesscard she got from another guy just minutes before. I found this to be a truly evil and hilarious trick.

Here's another one: my unlce gratudated from High School some years before me, and he had the same English teacher that I had. She had this small incredibly old Citroen ("Ente") parked in a one-way street. So he and his friends lifted the car and turned it 180 degrees around, so it would stand in the completely wrong direction. Sadly, the suspensions of the car got severly damaged during that procedure ...

Usually I become the victim of such evil tricks. Last summer, me and Lisa had this fight going on in the office, where we would spill water on each other when the other person wouldn't expect it.

So one day, I went to the bathroom. But I didn't go into the toilet but was at the sink brushing my teeth. Suddenly, i heard SWOOOOSH and the whole toilet was under water. I looked around and heard Lisa from the women's toilet asking "... are you not in the toilet?!?"

It turned out that she has had a chair and a whole bucket of water prepared in the women's toilet, and everybody in the office except me knew about it and was just WAITING for me coming out of the toilet soaked.
 
You know, you should see an episode of MTV's Homewreckers with Ryan Dunn. In every episode, he demonstrates a couple of pranks everyone can do at home - and they look like pranks that might actually even work!

So tune in on MTV! :P
 
On April first, when my sister and I were around 12 years old, we simulated a burglary in the living room of my parents. We took away the cd-player and threw some pots and plants on the floor. Unfortunately I have never been good at not laughing at these occasions, so it didn't take much time before my father understood it was a joke.

Another time me and a good friend told the girl at McDonalds that we wanted to have a flower cabbage milkshake. She answered that it was not in the assortiment, which surprised us as we had just ordered it the other day in another branche. After we insisted she went asking her manager...

More often I was the victim of pranks. When I was ten my sister wrote me a letter coming from the bank. She did it on coloured copy letter head (which was really unique in those times), stating that I had won a trip to the Carribean.. It took quite some months before I could see the fun in it...
