Before my father got his hearing aid there were certain tones he had difficulty with such as our phone ringing. My brother would occasionally stand up from the dinner table, pick up the phone and announce that the call was for my father. Dad would get up and try to take the call, of course becoming upset that someone would interupt his dinner and hang up. After a couple of times of this no one could keep a straight face and we just busted up.

I was sitting in the parking lot waiting to go in for 2nd shift when I saw one of my old day shift bosses changing a flat tire on his truck.

After he finished he was real dirty so he went back in the plant to wash up.

As soon as he was out of sight I let the air out of the just changed tire and went in to work.

Years ago I was living with a room mate. He had a habit of taking my food for himself. Around christmas time I was dating a woman with two young children. They had no money for christmas decorations. I knew of a field no longer worked by an elderly farmer friend. With his permission we cut a pine tree out of the hedgerow. Then we made salt dough decorations cut out with cookie cutters. Well we frosted a few of those and left them where my roomie could find them. Next morning I woke up to, "YUCK!!, you gotta find a girlfriend that can cook". LOL!

A few years before that I was riding an old Triumph Bonneville and a co-worker had just purchased a new Harley Evolution. He swore the new Harleys would never leak oil, and made fun of my old Triumph. Every day at lunch, I would put a spot of oil under his bike the size of a quarter. Drove hime crazy for a month. Every day he would be out there on his knees at quitting time trying to figure out where the leak was.

There are a couple others, but, I'm not sure what the statute of limitations is on them!

I buy at auctions and re-sale at the Flea Market(part-time) I bought a "Row Deal" for a few bucks. That evening while going through all the boxes we found a red draw string bag with 2 dild-"s in it--we talking about 2 expensive ones--very life like and flexable battery operated----I took this bag to the Flea Market and let a few of the sellers in on the Joke I was fixing to play on one of the Older, quiet Sellers. I walked over to his table with the red bag in my back pocket and talked to him a few seconds and he had a customer walk up and ask him a question---while he was turned away--I layed this bag on the edge of his table where he was sure to see it and went back to my tables to watch --as well as several other sellers were watching-----This man seen this bag, picked it up and open it--looked in it(at the same time as 2 women and a man walked up to his table to ask about something) This man pulled one of these Dild-'s out the bag and held it up above his head and looked towards another seller beside him and Said "hey, what is this"---We all laughed so hard it hurt--His female customers turned red---He said afterwards that he had never seen on of these in his 70 years--------We still laugh about it.

I had a friend working for me years ago and he had went next door to get lunch for all of the workers and myself also. Everyone called him Moose because he was about as big as one.
A guy came in looking for Moose, because he seen his truck outside and we got to talking while waiting for him to get back. They guy tells me to ask Moose about the time they were in Atlanta and well, "went" with a black girl in the back of a laundry truck.
I told the guy as soon as he told me about it to get out of there because I was going to get Moose back. He was always getting me and this was perfect.
When Moose got back, I told him it was a black lady came to see him but had to leave but she would come back later. He started asking all kind of questions and I just fed him a little bit. I told him she said he might not remember her but she knew him in 1973 from Atlanta and said something about when he worked for a laundry company. Then I told him she has a nice looking daughter with her. Real light skinned and pretty.
Moose turned white as a sheet. I didn't need all the help I had that day anyway, so when he says "look man, I forgot I have got something else I need to do right fast" I told him well, go ahead.
I waited about a week and told him the lady came back around again and said she would come back at so and so time. She said she needed to tell him something important.
Again Moose hauls butt as fast as he can get away.
I played him for over a year straight on that one and later too. He was operating a crane about 7-8 years ago and it got away from him and fell off a bridge into the river and he is disabled now and I lost contact with him for years but I seen him maybe a year ago at the doctors office. As bad as he always got me I had to get him again. I ask him if his daughter ever found him. He says what daughter?
I told himthat woman looked me back up again because she remembered the company name on my truck and was still looking for him but I didn't know where he was.
That started about 1980-1981 and Moose still thinks he may have a daughter from 1973 with a black woman.
I know that's mean but you should have seen some of the things he did to me. All's fair in love and war.

On a trip to the UP of Michigan one October with 4 friends, one of the friends accidentally drove his 3 wheeler into the cold water and was quickly over his head...losing his glasses. We all searched for his glasses for quite a while. When I found them, I handed them to the friend who had lost them and winked at him. He put them back on and continued to direct us up and down the shore line trying not to grin too much when everyone was looking at him giving directions while trying to collect their breaths. It did not go over very well and it was not soon forgiven.

Three headed pig

Well, some people think I was joking with our three-headed pig. Fortunately the vet got photos:

We, neighborhood kids, would put dog poo in paper bags and put them in front of the house's front door and light it then ring the door bell and run like hell. We would laugh like hell when the guy opened the door then tried to stomp out the fire and start cussing!

When we were kids, we would take an old purse and fill it with fresh cow manure. Then we would leave it on the road and wait. Never took too long for someone to come by in a car, stop, throw the purse in and take off!! I would have loved to see their faces when they opened it!

A friend of mines mother would do something similar. She would put a rock in a box and then wrap it in pretty paper and sit it on the side of the road. And this was when the lady was in her EIGHTIES.

As kids we also did the purse in the road caper, but we could put a string on it so it could be pulled back in after the vehicle started to stop and back up.

Heard of someone getting rid of their garbage during a strike by boxing it up nicely and then leaving it in a vehicle with the windows open.

My husband had a real jerk of a boss. Horrid excuse for a man. Anyway, we got even with him for the harassment of everyone by cracking a few eggs (just barely)and putting them under his seats in his car. It was July. That car stunk so bad he had to ride with the windows open and you didn't want to ride behind him either. Nothing like Farm "fresh" eggs!

The usual things like short sheeting beds, saran wrapping the toilets, vaseline on the door handle, shaving cream in the hand or in the pillow. All sorts of things at college.

Hilarious jokes everyone. Thanks! We use to put a large rock behind someones wheel of their car so when they left work (usually after dark) they wouldn't be able to move the car. Or chain the vehicle to a tractor and lock the chain. Also, took out the headlight bulbs on someones car so they had to get a ride home after dark. What about letting raw eggs run down in the cars vents, you would never get the smell out. Chris

One year my mom and I stuffed a holstein cow outfit and buried the body in a huge round hay bale located in front of the country ice cream store. One lady came into the store sobbing saying she will no longer support our company/family farm business if that's what we feel about our animals....geeze....

So I took the cow and sat it on a toilet in our front yard reading a Hoard's Dairyman Magazine surrounded by beautiful yellow mums.

At the NC State Fair a group of young farmers are always playing a trick to the unsuspecting crowds by hooking fake rats or snakes on a string and handing in the rafters or running across the alleyways. Too funny watching the reactions of people. Every year they are asked to stop...

Then they resort to placing stuffed jeans (complete with farm work boots) next to a 1500 # cow who is lying down. Always a fun time at the NC State Fair grounds!

When I was in the service (USAF) and stationed in Korea, I worked the bomb dump, prepping munitons to go on the A-10s. It was a new base (actually a tenant squadron on a Korean base) and they were just building the chow halls and such. We were way out iaway from everything and the chow hall was about 5 miles away. I always brought my lunch and at lunch I would stay and man the shop while everyone else went to the chow hall.
We often had alerts and war games and had to don and work in full chemical gear. At those times everyone on base had to put on their chemical warfare suits and masks.
On my last day there before rotating back Stateside, when everyone went to chow, I took everyones gasmask (including the CO) and smeared grafite grease aound the internal part that fits snuggly aound your nose and mouth.
The next day I left Korea was then stationed at Shaw AFB in SC.
About 6 months later, another airman from that shop showed up at Shaw. He told me that soon after I left they had an alert. After the all clear everyone removed their masks and had a black ring (that was very hard to remove) aound their lips and noses. They deduced that I was the culprit and wanted to courtmarshall me but had no proof hehe :banana02:

good thread

Had a buddy that worked with me, he was a slacker but was treated REAL bad by the foreman. One night we were sucker spearing and after cleaning the fish he takes all the guts home with him. Next day the foremans truck is locked up tight and the keys are gone, (back when everyone left their keys in the vehicles). Well, he walked home, (few blocks) and for some reason left that truck there for a few days before getting into it, middle of the summer, sucker guts behind the seat. He never drove that truck to work again, not sure what he did with it. Another time the same co worker waited till the same foreman went in a porta potty, then he drove a forklift under it with the mast against the door and proceded to shake that potty up and down for a while. Then he lifted it about 15 feet in the air and left. He got fired for that one. He also filled the foremans kennedy toolbox locks with loctite, and loctited the box to the metal bench.

On April fools day one year I faxed the plant manager a note, on corporate letterhead, that said his boss from corporate, (that he was terrified of and was a real hothead) was on his way to verify that he had taken care of some deleted inventory he had been yelling about, the fax arrived about 15 minutes before the boss was suppossed to. He flipped out and was loading the inventory into employee pickups before I told his secratary. He took it pretty well.

After my brother jumped my new bike off of a gravel pit wall and crushed both rims showing off for a girl, (and after he thrashed me to get to my bike) I sprayed perfume all over my sisters room and and on his back and waited for my folks to take appropriate action, which they did.

My wifes friend says she programmed a universal remote at one of her friends houses and used to sit outside the window at night and change the channels while they watched tv.

Back in the sisties where I worked a guy bought a compact car. It may have been Toyato or datsun, can't remember which, and was bragging about how much gas milage he would be getting. Well each day one of us would bring a quart or so of gas and put in his car. Back then after so many miles you took the car back in to have it tuned up and serviced. Well when that day came the free gas stopped and he drove those poor guys at the dealership crazy because they messed up his gas milage. Sam

I have a friend/colleague/former student (all the same person) who is quite handsome and ripped as far as physique goes. He's also very straight (as am I). Remember when Apple computers had all those stickers they gave away with multicoloured bands in the shape of an apple? I cut one into a flag shape and put it on his rear bumper. My friend's brother was the one to notice it and when he asked him about it, my friend said, "No wonder I've been getting wolf whistles and honks and waves from other men for the last two weeks!"


Another one I did, was on April 1, I went around to about three or four newspaper vending machines...put in my money, but then took (a few) more than my share of papers. I waited a year. The following April 1st, I went to several of my friend's houses where they subscribed to the paper. I switched them out and gave them a year old paper in it's stead. I also took one with me to work, and left it laying around and at lunch, guys were looking at it and one said, "I thought Duke won the final four this year...the paper says different." Oh...and the rest of the papers, I returned to the vending machines to prank people I didn't even know.
