What Practical Jokes have you played on your friends?

[C-Ya]

I’ll go first…….

There is nothing more exciting than going on vacation and discovering lost treasure……….

Little do our friends and other WorldCat owners dont know yet……….. They will be discovering some Spanish Dablooms.

Years ago I ordered a bunch of fake Dablooms, that truly look real. I use the fake ones to sprinkle in front of my friends while they are snorkling. I have had great times pulling off the practical joke. The real key to pulling this off is to state something to the effect of “Did you hear about the tourist that discover Spanish Dablooms last week?” Naming what ever place you intend on being at the next day, so it gets planted firmly in their heads. While telling that story, put a value on each Dablooms. I generally go with “OMG….. they were worth $12,500 apiece”. This will help them with the basic math they will need to figure out how much treasure they found.

You should see the look on someone’s face when they believe they just found 50 grand. It’s priceless!

While they are in the euphoria of having discovered treasure………. Ask them to buy dinner that evening. To share the wealth! Lol

Just a heads up…….. I would wait until the dinner is paid for, before you let them in on the joke. (I’ve actually have never made it that far. Most times we let the victim know within about 15 minutes) That won’t work for me at the WorldCat Rendezvous because all of our meals are paid for. Lol

What practical jokes have you played? I know I have more.

Here is what the Dablooms look like. (I am sure I am spelling Dablooms wrong, but I am too lazy to look up correct spelling)

I have a whole bag of material and have played out a ton of jokes over the years. Fake dog poop on the inspectors desk, fake lotto tickets, fake parking tickets, monster mask on early in the morning dark jumping out at one of our PEs, whistling exhaust device (co-worker actually took his new truck to the dealer for the noise) etc.

I have to say the best one I ever pulled was with my gen two remote fart device. I duct taped it to the bottom of my construction manager’s chair when I got in. He had a meeting later in the day with the Commissioning Agent, the GC and others, all around his desk. I was at the other side of the trailer in my office. I started in and it was fairly loud. He didn’t quite catch what was going on but the folks around did and started moving away from him with disgusting looks on their faces. It was absolutely hysterical.

My wife thought it would be pretty funny to put an Old positive pregnancy test in my lunch one day.

In college we'd fill a manila envelope with shaving cream and slip the open end under a friends dorm room door. Then jump on the envelope and run like hell.

At at All Hands meeting on a Friday, my Helper and I arrived late. Prior to entering, we put 2 premade bumper stickers on our Drugstore Cowboy Estimator's 1 ton pickup. Little did we know he was going to a Rodeo on Camp Pendleton that weekend. He didn't notice them until Sunday evening, relaxing with a frosty beverage on his 2nd story apartment deck, when he finally spotted them, and went down to investigate. He's was apoplectic! I worked with him at several companies, so it didn't take him long to figure it out. Monday morning He went into the office and demanded that we both be fired, as we had priors.

Larry, the owner asked, 'Well, what did they say?" He sheepishly replied, "Gay and Proud!" And, "Gay Rights Coalition"
Laughter ensued, and Lo and Behold, our employment continued on. Worked alongside him at 2 more firms. All was cool.

Those Joke Store purchased screaming smoke bombs usually got their share of attention, when wired under the hood of a car. Turn the key to start the car, it first gave off a ‘Piccolo Pete” type of scream, followed by a loud boom, then abundant smoke. These were basically Fire Works we were wiring up, under the hood of a buddy’s car, right next to the gasoline carburetor. What could have possibly gone wrong??!! WTF ! We were idiots. As has been said, “If you can’t look back on your youth and realize you were an idiot, you’re still an idiot”. Lol

I’m sure these would have also worked very well on a boat. But, none of us could afford a boat back then.

Don’t know about diving for coins but I remember Jaqueline diving for morphine.

Bachelor party over 30 years ago. Bachelor passed out and we bought him a round trip ticket to Hawaii. Another friend worked for the airlines and helped coordinate the whole thing. He woke up over the Pacific with no wallet etc. The stewardass had his wallet with enough cash for a couple days and handed it to him as he walked off the plane saying compliments of all of us. His return flight landed at 4am or something the day of the wedding. Needless to say his wife hated all of us and I only spoke to dude once afterwards. Could never pull that off in todays world,,,,

How did your afternoon go ?

Like I said, SHE thought it was funny.

ME? Not so much.

We are at the World Finals (IHBA) working late at night on my boat. My friend is a complete OCD clean freak and buys a new truck every year. My other friend runs over and climbs under the truck and pisses under the radiator. He comes back to the boat and a few minutes later asks what the fluid is under the truck. My OCD friend drops the wrenches on the floor of the boat and runs over to the truck cussing and yelling about how new it is and etc. i told him to smell it and see if it was radiator fluid or whatever... he stuck his finger in the foamy parts few times trying to identify the smell... By the time he figured it out my friend was running and halfway accross the pit. A perfect joke at 2am in the morning when everything is tiring and mundaine.

Early 70's it was a dead fish tucked under the driver seat of a classmate, give it a few days and that shit would go bad...

I make those brake Horns, wire up two automotive Horns to a trailer plug. Plug it into the trailer plug on your buddies truck, use the brake wire as the 12 volts to set the Horns off...sit back and watch the show.

I played this on my brother that is about 1 year younger than me. I was 14 and he was 13 and we shared a room at the time. He had been bitten by a black widow spider a couple weeks earlier and had always been deathly afraid of spiders. I had Iron Maiden posters plastered all over our room, including the ceiling. I ran a fishing line / connected to a real next to my bed and hooked my youngest brothers gigantic fake tarantula spider to it and centered the spider over my brothers pillow. I wish I had a video camera to record the look on on his face when I dropped it on him around 5:00am that Saturday morning! He screamed like a little girl! He broke my nose in the aftermath. He was 6'4" tall at that time, but it was worth it!

10 guys. Private Charter airplane for a golf outing. Pilot was in on the joke.

Slipped a dildo in one of the guys bags.
Outside the airplane, all of us were lined up with our bags. The pilot stated that he was going to perform a security bag check but to speed things up he was only going to choose one bag. Well what do you know...

5 shots of Jager and 1 shot of soy sauce. Hilarity (and projectile vomit) ensues. On a positive note, the soy sauce was low sodium.

So, in our teens. My sister has a new date, coming at 6pm and we are all told.. NO ONE ANSWERS THE DOOR ONLY HER.

Well, we had a programmable door bell.

I change the tune, and crank up the volume.

Sister is waiting, the date pushes the button.

As loud as it could go…… The Wedding March .

She opened the door as fast as possible, which was helpful, as he could hear it better now.

I was laughing so hard I was on the ground crying.

When I’m in my 20’s I had some down time. Took a three hole punch and some papers…. Punch punch punch for like 10 minutes. I had like a quart size bag full.

Went to the same sisters closet…. And proceeded to put the paper dots in EVERY POCKET OF EVERY PIECE OF CLOTHING. She was finding those things for years ….

Now you might be wondering, why would I be picking on my one sister when I have 5 sisters.

Back up to 4th grade. I have a crush on a girl, but too shy to approach her. One day this sister comes to me at lunch and said “Lisa O’Brian wants to meet you at the drinking fountain”

Cool very cool ….. I get there and I see Lisa coming…. Dang I’m nervous…. She walks up to me and says “what do you want?” I said I was told you wanted to talk to me? She says “You’re such a dork” and walks away.

So to this day, my sister and I go back and forth with this…. We are both in our 60’s now. My wife and I have a Princess cruise personal planner. I gave my sister the contact info for the planner… Lisa Johnson. A couple of days later I send a text asking my sister if she got a hold of her. Her reply “I left a message for Lisa O’Brian and she has not called me back yet”.

Welllllll I have to go now, I have some papers and a three hole punch. Cruise is in October and the planning is started… can’t wait for her to open her napkin at dinner

Tailpipe Whistles - Another Must Have item they used to sell at Joke Shops. We once inserted one into the tailpipe of a buddy’s brand new GTO. He was not at all mechanically inclined. Just spoiled by his parents. He drove around like that for a couple of days. He took the car to AAMCO. They said he needed a whole new trans. Of course, what else would they say? I told him I could fix it at no charge. I reached in the tailpipe with a pair of needle nose and pulled out that metal whistle. Told him it looked like some debris he must have picked up on the highway. He didn’t know if he should have been happy or pissed off. Believe he was a little of each.

Damn, looks like they’re still available thru Amazon! Lol

The Yamaha /Kaw dealer had a book of police tickets for sale for $5
April fools day made out a fake ticket to myself for going 183 mph, bike impounded and night in jail for the driver.
At the time was drag racing a ZX-14 that was built and did 155 mph in the quarter and still climbing, in fact in a mile was past the 183 mark.
At work a few days later scanned and emailed the ticket to my adult children and bike buddies.
lots of calls from kids telling me to sell the bike never drive fast again, my riding dudes said that sucks!
Had a hard time convincing my daughter it was a joke!

 

[Yoshiro]

If you're going on vacation with friends and have a rental house booked, get there before they do...

Find what bedroom is theirs, and swap the matress and box spring. Make the bed up like it was.

We did this before, it was epic.

Air horn zip tied to the underside of an office chair. Sit + HONK

We used to have a rainbow magnet that kept getting moved around to different trucks at work. It would usually last a few days before the driver found it and put it on another guy's truck.

Bachelor party.. one guy was so wasted we put his rollaway bed in the elevator with him in it. Press a lower floor button and adios. LOL

 

[RCDave]

We used to light the Levi tag on a buddys jeans on FIRE. He would always fall asleep watching TV!

Problem was the tag is quite flammable.

 

[havasuhusker]

Not really a practical joke, but when I was younger (7-8 yrs old), my dog took my rubber snake to the backyard. My dad, who was deathly afraid of snakes was mowing the yard. Well, my dad saw the "snake" and just about crapped his pants! He ran the damn thing over with the lawnmower and then I heard him yell my full name. I went outside and he proceeded to tear me a new one. Needless to say, I never had a rubber snake again.

Man your story sounds a lot like one of my brothers real stories. He is to old and fat to abuse that tuned ZX14 now, but his you tube videos were astonishing. I think his youtube handle was ZX14_Blur or something along those lines. My ex wife sent the link to his wife and our mom....bike was sold soon after.

15 years ago my buddy Stumpy was getting his EMT cert class done at our local fire department in Running Springs next to Lloyd's restaurant/bar. He would park his jeep in the lot in back next to the old vallet area.
So we went over there one night with a cooler full of beers, a floor jack and some jack stands. We jacked the jeep to have the tires set about a quarter of an inch off the ground, set up the cooler on the roof of Lloyd's and parked my truck around the corner.
Some of the firefighters teaching the class were in on it and made sure that most of the class would witness.
Stumpy comes out tired but singing to himself and we are trying our best to not start laughing too soon. He gets in the jeep, starts it, puts it in reverse and nothing happens. "What the fuck!!!" he puts it in forward, nothing again. He gets out and locked in the hubs... Gets back in an again, nothing... We couldn't contain ourselves anymore and started laughing our asses off from the roof, the class and firefighters did the same. He gets out of the jeep and yelling at us "you motherfuckers!!! He thought we stole his drive shafts!!!

We had an Inspector of Record on a larger public job I worked a few years back. He rejected more inspections than he approved. He was a decent guy but just plain tough. His name was Lorenzo.

Although the tech wasn't what it is today, I had a poster made and hung it on the wall next to his desk one morning before he got in. It was pretty funny at the time. He ended up liking it and took it with him when the project was complete.

So I have done a few that are good but the best one I have is about my brother. This is a long crazy story but I will summarize it best I can, little tuned up already....

My dad went on a Mormon mission while he was dating my mom since high school. He brings this Haitian statue back from the Dominican. Thing was fucking hideous playing the bongo it was always in a dark corner of our basement like a little 4 foot demon. I hated it. My brother took it to all of the colleges he attended and it ended up in Minnesota Crookston. So my brother was wild and he lived in this house that was the party house it was also the main distribution for smoke. They had this friendly rival and one night they stole the statue. Some freak black kid free climber free climbs the university main building with the statue 4 stories and I have no idea how he did, than ties a rope around the statues arms and hangs it from the roof.

This is back in like 06. My bro gets a call from his coach after he missed like 10 and dude is freaking out. This blows up, I watched on good morning America, the school basically tries to kick my bro out of school because he refuses to press chargers, FBI got involved. Cops raid there house and my bro as the cops are following him there they are trying to hide a shit load of drugs.

My dad hears this story and is pissed because the cops just cut the rope instead of pulling it up and it broke it in half. I loved that part.

As I type that out I'm not even sure it's a practical joke.
