Your Best Practical Joke(s)!

Oh! That reminded me of my days as a stock broker!! Yea! Like I'm a real professional! They use these tubes like they have at the drive up at the bank where the stock brokers used to put their order in and send it to the guys to place to the orders. Okay, this is showing my age because we didn't have computers, we had Quotron machines to watch the market.

But this is so sick!! We bought some hamsters ($.89 each at the time) and the guys in the order desk put the hamsters inside the tubes so that when stock brokers would reach in to get their orders, they grabbed a hamster instead. So sick! But so much fun!

Okay, I'm gonna let you in on a sappy part of me and my SO's relationship. During the first months we were so enamoured with each other, but neither of us would say "those three words". We talked about not saying them. We would see how close we could come to saying them without saying them....We both love words and so this was just a rerally fun time for us.

We were trying to decide where to have a little get-away, and I told her that I knew of a little island, what was the name....i couldn't quite remember, something-view,...OF view, yeah that's it, write it down....Island of...

So later in the conversation, (she still didn't see it coming) i asked her the name of the place and she said "Island-Of-View". I said...no it's Isle.....then she said "Isle-of-View"....and still didn't get it! I said "say that louder"...heheheheeee

My finest moment! HA!

Senior year of high school, our close-knit, fun-loving class gathered together to:

Carry a car up the steps and set it in the main hallway of the school.

Remove certain ceiling tiles (probably asbestos:p ) to make decorative patterns, overhead.

Inflate a weather balloon in the Principal's office (completely filling the room).
(Some of us needed "Depends" on that one :D .)

Switching clothes before class, so the guys were wearing skirts and dresses (more Depends...).
This really scrambled an elderly German teacher: she fled to the Principal's office (but couldn't get in :D)....

I was working at a large corporation with a bunch of engineers and we had a boss who had very poor personal skills (and horrible teeth - yellow, large and crooked). I saw a Dilbert cartoon that said something about looking like your boss will get you promoted - so I bought these gag teeth.They look like rotten fake teeth and they make you look awful because they are yellow, large and crooked. Well, I walked up to the other engineers without a smile and then grinned and they thought it was hysterical. So it went on.....

The next day, I got everyone in the department to put on a set of fake teeth and when our boss called the morning status meeting, we all sat down with our teeth in. When he wasn't looking we grinned at each other with the teeth. We were on the floor laughing. Our boss was clueless. He saw the teeth but since we sometimes brought nerf gun, squirt guns and all sorts of foolery to the meeting, he didnt' "get it". It was an hour long meeting in which most were in tears because we laughing so hard.

Last night, my two youngest daughters and I intended to watch the eclipse. But because of the snow and the cloud cover, it was not going to happen. So since they planned to be up, they decided to rearrange the neighbors light-up reindeer. Next year we should see baby light-up reindeer!

Operation reindeer complete!

I found this thread by doing a google search for PTSD jokes, not from within this forum.

I've never been much of a practical joker because I don't have any patients when somene plays one on me.

My ex-stepbrother on the otherhand... He once rigged up a phone somehow that got him in a LOT of trouble. He called the local police department, played a practical joke on them, then hung up. He thought he rigged the phone so they couldn't trace the call back to him. Unfortunatly, the phone kept the line open so nobody else could call in, and the cop shop couldn't clear the line either.

The cops called in the FBI, and within about 8 hours the FBI and the local police raided his house, took the phone and anything that was electronic in nature and arrested him. He was able to get the charges dropped to three months probation because he was a minor, had a clean record and he had no idea how his creation tied up the phone line so it was useless. He was threatened with federal charges.

Unfortunatly this did not deter him from his interest in pushing the limits. He got pretty involved in activities that could have gotten him arrested but he was much more careful and never got caught. If he did the same things nowdays he'd be listed as a homeland security risk. :eek:

Our church did a fundraiser where you could pay $45 to have the youth group "flock" someone's yard with about forty plastic flamingos. They would post pictures of people's yards with the flamingos all over them at the church. It was fun.

Well, Bear and I figured what was good for the goose was good for the gander... so one weekend while the youth pastor was away, we "flocked" his office. We stole the flamingos, got one of the secretaries to snitch his spare keys, and to go one better, we dressed them all up. So there were forty flamingos in various states of dress and undress (sunglasses, wigs, ties, lingerie, jewelry, underwear, etc.) all over this man's tiny office. One, dressed like him, was behind the desk in his chair. The whole church staff thought it was funny as hell.

He didn't. He had NO sense of humor.

When we were kids we had this giant doll we called Jennifer. We used to dress her up in my sisters clothes and sit her all over the place. Here comes my dad to yell at the doll for being out of bed. lol. It was funny you had to have been there.

Just one from when I was a kid:

At 5, climbing out our upstairs bathroom window with my sisters to go play hide and seek, in the dark, with the neighborhood kids. Then when we were through playing, my sisters and I, knocking on our front door and my grandmother (babysitter) answering the door. When she asked how we got outside and why were we not in bed, us kids asked her why she didn't remember not only telling us that we could all go outside and play, but had earlier even walked us to the door when she told us to go have some fun. :giggle:
