The only one that immidiatly comes to mind is taping a faucet.  Take some
scotch tape and tape up the place where water comes out of the faucet.  When
the water is turned on, the water pressure will make the water squirt out of
the faucet at all angles, getting almost everything (And hopefully the person
turning the water on) quite wet.  If you get good at this one, you can make
some slight modifications and tape it so water comes out aimed at a specific
point!

My favorite practial joke is to catch a complete stranger in an alley and beat
the crap out of him/her, for no reason at all.

(just kidding)  :)

A good one I've only heard once:
Some stagehands I used to work with were doing a show with some scummy
evangelist, who tried to cheat them on pay and was clearly not a Man of God.
They managed to get paid ok, but before they left somebody sneaked out to the
parking lot and put duct tape over his taillights.  They never found out what
really happened, but here's this guy from another state, with no taillights,
and a huge bag of cash from contributions.... Imagine trying to explain *that*
to a cop!

(BTW, if you do try the first joke, it's also good to constantly repeat some
gibberish while you do it... something like "What's the frequency, Kenneth?")

I had heard one of those companies that advertised that they could find a
missing loved one or a deadbeat spouse by calling an 800 number and giving
them information on the person and pay $60 for the service.  I had though
about calling this 800 number and, on their nickel, mention that I was looking
for a lost uncle who was last seen 20 years ago, and when they ask for the
missing person's name, respond by saying "His name is Hoffa - Jimmy Hoffa."

BTW, "What's the frequency, Kenneth" was the phrase spoken by the men who
mugged and assaulted Dan Rather about 10 years ago.  Also the title of an
R.E.M. song.

Re: 5:  That was left as an exersize for the reader.  :)


#7 of 38 by kain on Sat Nov 4 17:31:56 1995:

oh, UM okay, I don't really get the 5 but 3 is great, where'd they get that
idea?


#8 of 38 by scott on Sun Nov 5 13:20:10 1995:

I have no idea where the "taping the taillights" idea came from.  I still
think it's one of the most original practical jokes I've heard of.


#9 of 38 by kain on Sun Nov 5 14:32:27 1995:

yeah with cash in a foreign car I'd love to see that person's face when the
cop got him! :)


#10 of 38 by orinoco on Mon Nov 6 21:50:39 1995:

coyote--tape doesn't hold up too well in water...try duct tape.
Taping the taillights is a good one...


#11 of 38 by kain on Tue Nov 7 01:28:11 1995:

#13 of 38 by orinoco on Tue Nov 7 20:48:16 1995:

#14 of 38 by coyote on Wed Nov 8 03:59:11 1995:

Maybe my faucet has a weak water pressure...


#15 of 38 by orinoco on Fri Nov 10 00:15:22 1995:

Are there any schools/colleges in the A2 area that have desks bolted to the
floor?


#16 of 38 by kain on Fri Nov 10 17:32:50 1995:

why?


#17 of 38 by coyote on Fri Nov 10 22:09:13 1995:

I think I've seen some, but I can't remember where.


#18 of 38 by orinoco on Sat Nov 11 02:31:18 1995:

#19 of 38 by clees on Wed Nov 29 17:22:17 1995:

OK, here is one:
At school we did this to an enlish teacher one:
Rule one: everybody in class has to cooperate.
2. Everytime the teacher turns to the blackboard to write
something everybody shifts their desk 3 inches forward.
After ten minutes all desks will be pushing the teacher to the blackboard.
Then, reverse and shift the desks backwards, 3 inches everytime the
teacher turns to the blackboard.
And so on and on.
It is a good way the drive your teacher insane.
(Must be scary, esspecially if this is done silently.)


#20 of 38 by orinoco on Wed Nov 29 22:40:12 1995:

hard to pull off silently, tho, unless the teacher is deaf or very dense


#21 of 38 by kain on Fri Dec 1 23:00:53 1995:

#25 of 38 by pothiraj on Fri Jan 3 15:44:08 1997:

We tried this one at our college hostel... We get a sort of tobacco ppowder
in India, which we spray near the nose of a sleeping inmate....
Well, that causes a hell lot of snnneezing.....

I was stationed in southern Maryland at Patuxent River Naval Air Station in
1988, when my friend Mark asked me to come with him on a road trip to Chicago
to visit two of his good friends. We get to Chicago, and to the house his two
friends are living in. His two friends are throwing a large party the next
night. We decide to pull a good prank. We put 6 large bowls on a long table
on one side of the room. Each bowl is then filled with various snack foods
like chips pretzels, etc. One of the bowls (and keep in mind these are really
large punch-bowl sized bowls) we fill to the top with a half and half mixture
of Combos@ and Snausages@. By the end of the party, that bowl was empty.

there's a pill you can take (bladder medication, i think) that makes your
urine orange...a good joke would be to somehow slip it into random drinks a
at a pool party...


#33 of 38 by rca on Wed Oct 18 23:21:31 2000:

phenolpthalein (sp?) turns bases (inc. urine) pink.  It's an indicator
used in chem. to test for alkalinity.


#34 of 38 by ignatz on Sat Jan 20 03:03:25 2001:

my personal favorite is spending the night at a friends house with a 
camera. when they go to bed at night, i stay awake. instead of placing 
stickers all over their face, or marking it with a marker or ink pen, i 
like to stick my dick in their mouth and take a picture. 


#35 of 38 by nibbles on Mon Jul 15 20:27:42 2002:

I'm convinced that the British train companies are playing a huge practicle
joke on me... The one day of the year I need to travel into London all the
tube (London underground) workers are going on strike! I can get in to London
fine, but by British Rail's estimates I won't be able to get home until 6:00am
leaving at 10:45pm the day before, for what should be a 1 hour our train
journey... But perhaps life is just one long practicle joke, got to laugh or
you'll cry, That's my dose of ranting and philosophy over for the day :).

  Yesterday I called evil1, my evil sister and asked her if she had heard of
the news about John McCain's running mate. She said no. I told her that McCain
had the ultimate running mate... Michelle Obama. Of course evil1 is smart
enough to see through that, but I did catch a few of my passengers. It was
funny. (I later straightend them out)

One of my favorite jokes to play on my siblings during April Fool's day is
putting a bag filled with air or water in their bed. When they are all tired
and worn out, and need to sleep, they pop the plastic bag and either get
splashed and soaked with water, or they get scared by the sound of a Zip-loc
bag getting popped.


#38 of 38 by denise on Sat Sep 7 15:27:15 2013:

My siblings and I did jokes on each other for April Fool's Day [back
when  we were kids]...
