Practical Jokes - Serve em up here!

I don't even know where to start...
I worked in an ancient factory, and usually the "batch guy" was all alone. Dusty, dark tower, ride old elevator to the 5th floor, and enter a hall that housed conveyor belts. At the end of the hall was a hole, and a ladder to access the next hall for conveyor belts. Climb down, go to the end of the hall, another hole. Climb down and there were two shorter halls, with a conveyor belt each. This was an extremely dusty facility, and as you took the path, you should have a radio with you to contact the furnace operator, as well as a flashlight and a wrench or two. . (in case of emergencies)

My buddy and I took a couple of old uniforms and a pair of rubber boots and created a giant dummy. I cut out a Jason mask using an old bleach bottle, and we put big welder's gloves on it. It was creepy looking and nearly 7 feet tall. We placed it at the end of that very last conveyor and unscrewed the light bulbs.

We set up the next shift guy by triggering a sensor way out on that conveyor knowing he'd have to head out there... it was awesome. Dude got down there in the dark, turned on his flashlight, made his way to the sensor at the end and his flashlight beam hit that dummy, he about broke his neck trying to get out of there.

We were at a trap shoot at the local club one winter, it was really really cold. The club house was an old corrugated grain silo, just big enough for about 15 people but we had those old time school desks in it that had the table tops on them.

Along with those someone built a wood burning stove and had a good fire going. I grabbed an empty spent hull and folded the crimp back down and showed it to “most’ of the guys.

One fella we called Pudgy was wedged into one of the desks and we were talking when I showed him the crimped end of the shell just before I threw it into the fire.

Most of the guys acted like they were headed out the door but ol Pudge was squirming, flailing and cussing while trying to get the desk to let loose of him. About that time all the other guys were busting out laughing but Pudgy was cussing us all out.

Not so much a practical joke,,,
As an act of pure revenge.

When I decided to get out of the USAF after 8 years,,,
My co-workers tried to stick me with all the scut jobs my last month.

On my last day I got there early so I could make the morning coffee,,,
Our coffee pot was one of those 30 cup aluminum urns.

I took a Brillo Pad and scrubbed the inside of it all clean & shiny,,,
I made certain to get all of the stains down to metal,,,
Then made the pot of coffee.

Watching my co-workers taste that aluminum in every sip,,,
And knowing it would taste that way for weeks,,,
Well, to use the old saw,,,
It was Priceless!

Oil puddle under the car is a good one.

In college we had a neighbors cat that walked on our cars. shitting all over, tearing garbage bags etc. we gave it wolf brand chilli before they brought it in for the night.

Shoe polish on the old at&t black phones. Removing either the mic or receiver speaker.

Super glueing items to desks

Burgler traps attached to drawers

In the old days of blue prints writing a message on the back side of the draw that you couldn't see until you made a blue print copy

Switching the letters on computer key boards for hunt and peck typists

Hiding inside a sandblast cabinet until someone walks up to it then jumping out and scaring them.

Buying a tin of double tree cookies and eating all the cookies to be replaced with rice cakes.

Fake snakes in lunch boxes and desk drawers

My sister and I got my mom so many times with fake vomit and poop. We always blamed the dog.

Switching letters on display / information cases. One time there was a notice for an "evacuation meeting" they left the glass door unlocked. I changed it to Ejaculation mtg.

When fax machines first came out I used to copy the text on clear plastic and the transmit a copy of the back side. People couldn't figure it out. I would tell them one of these settings was wrong.

Used to have an email I would send that would flip the screen display upside down.

There was another one that would maz out the speakers and say " hey everybody I am looking at porn" that would make all the prairie dogs pop there heads up in the sea of cubicles.

With the old CRT monitors at strong magnet on the opposite side of the cubicle wall was fun

After one particularly bad meal at the college cafeteria, we super glued the plate, cup and utensils to the tray and then placed it on the cleaning conveyor belt.

A day later, they had it screwed to the cafe wall above the belt with a note stating these are the only items to go through the cleaning.

My sheriff lived at the jail in an apartment sharing a wall with the drunk tank. One night, the trooper brought in 15 drunk Indians for DUI and Public Drunk. Abut 2 am they all decided to have a pow wow singing and beating on the metal bunks.

HA YA HA HA YA HA YA HA YA ! BOOM boom boom boom, - BOOM boom boom boom.

The sheriff, in his pj's, walks into my dispatch area, rubbing his eyes asked me if I had tried to shut them up. I said I had tried everything but MACE. He asked me if I still had the three Black Cat fireworks I took off one of them during my search. I said, yes and reached into my drawer to get them. He went over to his desk to get a lighter and went to the drunk tank door. This is a solid metal door with a 6X6 peephole and locking cover.

He opens the peephole cover and screams, "YOU DAMN DRUNK SOB'S SHUT THE EFF UP OR I'LL SHOOT YOUR ASS!

HA YA HA HA YA HA YA HA YA ! BOOM boom boom boom, - BOOM boom boom boom.

He lights the Black Cats and throws them in through the peephole and slams the cover.

BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!

He opens the peephole again and screams, "SHOOT HIM AGAIN, HE'S STILL MOVIN!"

Silence

He grins at me and goes back to bed.

Back in the early Windows95 days, my old boss got someone by taking a screenshot of his desktop and setting that as the desktop background. Then he moved all the icons into folders off the desktop, turned off all the system icons, and set the taskbar to autohide. Everything looked normal when the guy got back from lunch, but no matter how many times he clicked on the “icons,” nothing happened…

I have a dear departed friend that was the king of practical jokes. One of the best was when he took a box of chicklets and dumped out the gun and replaced it with feen-a-mint (laxative) gum. He proceeded to ask a local gum-aholic if the would like some. Gum-aholic grabs the box, and proceeds to chew the whole box. About 20 minutes later the gum kicks in. Closest bathroom door is locked. Gum-aholic has to sprint about 75 yards to the next bathroom, and spends the next 2.5 hours in there.

I remember Howie Mandel telling people he went to porn movies with a bottle of Jergens Lotion and about the middle of a really hot scene he would splash and squirt everyone around him.
