What is your best all time prank?

One that I did that wasn't so nice...it was nearing Christmas and I reluctantly was at a shopping mall trying to finish up the purchasing of gifts. I was waiting to pull into a space that some old guy was vacating. I had been there for at least thirty seconds waiting, with my turn signal on. Another guy comes up,from the opposite direction, after I had been there waiting, and the old geezeer vacating the space pulls out in such a way, that he has me blocked and leaving the space open for the "newcomer" who immediately zips in. I start honking and yelling, and my wife tells me to chill out, and "not make a scene". I find another parking space (farther away of course) and so as I am walking by what should have been MY space, I notice that rude boy has left the rear window of his daddy's sleek new Caddy slightly open. I happened to have a squeeze bottle (nearly full) of deer urine in my coat pocket. Well I should say it was nearly full...at first.

My really good practical jokes all revolve around my occupation healthcare.
When I was one of the head Nurse's Aide (before we were fancy Certified Nursing Asst.), one of my jobs duties was to train new help. Bedmaking, sponage baths, empy bedpans, & post mortem care. Hate mentoring as it's termed now.

I had this trainee standing along side a hospital bed in a freezing cold room shaking & shivering. Seems I had told her in a very seroius manner that she should open the windows (Feb.) to let the spirit out, & cover the mirrors to prevent the spirit being trapped. Left her alone in the room for a quick or not soo quick cigarette break with fellow coworkers.
Icing on the cake was when we transported the pt. via gurney in the elevator to the morgue - as the doors opened I threw myself against the back wall of the elevator all the while screamming & pointing toward the open door. A la the baddest acting in a B rated horror flick ever.
Long & short of it she fainted, I was suspended for 3 days without pay & she became the wife of an accountant.
Her crime was referring to fellow coworkers as those colored girls. Apprently she thought I passed for a Miss Goodfella.
Watching her slide down the side of the elevator trying desparately to hit the close door button & hang on to the handrail all the while white as a ... ghost. Priceless.
Coworkers all pitched in & gave me $10 for groceries & lent me a bus pass so I could take my young daughter out to local attractions for my 3 days off. Last ran into those girls was in '93. Cookie is Chartruce, Ivy is Emerald, Janu'a is Auqua Marine, & yup I'm still beige (pun on being a half bred).
Good times back then.

Uh oh she stirred up a new one. I was in my early 20's going to school. Had friends who were always cooking up something wonderful. They never locked the house.
One day I went over and sampled what was softly rolling in the pot begging a taste with all these wonderful aromatic spices wafting.
Oh man was it ever great...they come home and I commented on the "Fat chicken"..how it was so good but kind of lots of fat you know?
They rolled on the floor at this as it was pigs feet not chicken. They probably still call it "Fat Chicken" in my honor.

There was a young sailor I worked with for a while who would drink all night and come into work LATE to sleep it off. Well I got tired of covering for him and while he slept in a lazy boy lounge chair in a room he was supposed t be cleaning, I took a roll of pennies and placed them up and down his arms and legs , onhis head , anywhere that a penny would lay, and then dropped a large book onto the table in front of him. He jumps and pennies fly. The next time I used a suirt gun full of perfume to wake him, Pennies flying and a smelly drunk jumping mad. Never cured him of his bad habit , but got myself through dealing with his abuse of the system. I 'll never forget Willy O'

DH's workmates have pulled a few good ones (DH wasn't involved or "gotten"). It's the kind of group where, within reason, was is OK back when they were doing it 5 yrs ago. DH was the "old guy" in the group(35 yrs) as the other were all under 25yrs old and fresh out of college.

1) Boss was out over Christmas holiday. 2 employees wrapped everything in his cube with Christmas wrap one evening. Each pencil and pen individually, file folders, chair, etc. They laughed over that for a long time - "big boss" thought it was funny, too!

2) One of them was out of the office for a week on a business trip. They came back to every inch of their office, except the floor, covered in post-it notes.

3) OH, almost forgot this one. DH was involved in this (as was I as I placed the online order for the guys) The lone female in the group got a new full size SUV a while back. The guys all got together and bought it a set of "male parts" and hung them of the hitch. Took her a week till she found them and she never figured out where they came from.

Back in high school I worked on the stage crew for the school musical. The stage crew was always pulling pranks on each other, and occasionally the cast. One year, during the party after the last performance, we wrapped a fellow crew member's car with shrink wrap, and doused it with hot water to try and get it real tight. Well, being February in Wisconsin, it was about fifteen degrees below zero. His car was encased in a cocoon of plastic and ice. It took him several hours to get it off and another hour to chip all the ice off his windows so he could go home.

An old favorite from our college days: When chatting some ladies, someone would steer the conversation towards double-jointedness. People would start talking about other people they knew who were double jointed and how. Eventually one of us guys would bring up a cousin or friend who could touch her elbows together behind her back. It never failed, within moments the women were giving it a try. Usually took them a while to figure out why the guys were all laughing!

I and all my coworkers are roughly the same age, so a few years back, when the first one of us turned 50, it was a big deal. Our offices aren't much bigger than a typical cubicle, much like a big enclosed box with a door. It took us awhile, but we managed to completely fill her office with black helium-filled balloons. She's a laughing screamer, so we knew it would be noisy, but really didn't expect the reaction she had when she opened her door and all this massive quantity of black balloons were staring her down. She turned around, with tears in her eyes, and said "thank you all so much for thinking of me. Now who has a straight pin?"

Lesson learned: sometimes it's hard to be cheerful when you turn 50.
