Question

Legal answers only, please. Also, "you" can be either singular or plural. Thanks!

Answer 1

When I was in high school (back during the 1980's) we pulled some pretty good pranks.
I once heard someone say that they put a ping pong ball into their superintendants gas tank. Every time he accelerated it would suck the ball up to the fuel line and his car would die, however the gas eventually disolved the ball and there was no trace or evidence that anyone had done anything.

I myself (and some buddies) once stole an outhouse (one of those old wooden types) and took it to the front of the school, we sat it up, filled it with hay and lit it on fire, suddenly someone yelled "It's the Principal!" So we all ran to the truck and jumped in. We were laughing pretty hard, thinking that we got away, when suddenly all of my buddies who were with me in the back of the truck began bailing out, I was wondering why and then I noticed that the Principal had run with us to the truck, climbed in with us, and had gone unnoticed. Needless to say I got caught.

I currently enjoy pranking telemarketers who call. I learned this from an email I recieved. When telemarkerters call I pretend to be a police officer and I inform them that the person they are calling has been murdered. I then keep them on the line and question them about how they knew the deceased (myself) what kind of involvement did they have with him (me), how are they connected, etc... eventually I tell them that they are a suspect in the murder and I find out where they are calling from, then I inform them that their local sheriffs office will be contacting them soon. This usually shakes up the telemarketer pretty good and it is a riot for me.

Answer 2

I used to work with a really sleazy, vain guy, Everyday he would spray deodorant all over himself about 10 times a day and in the tea room he kept a mirror and jar of hair gel that he would use in copious amounts all through the day, I know this is horrid but we emptied a whole tube of Bostick glue into his gel, You can guess the results.

Answer 3

when i was younger one guy would always make fun of me and i hated it but that guy was a friend to one of my best guy friends... so i couldn't do too much.. then one day that mean guy said something along the lines of how i had to be adopted bc i was "really ugly and fat" compared to the rest of my family... so, the next day I went up the my Best guy friend and said "i can't take it! I am adopted! but i didn't want anyone to know!! I just wanted to be normal!" then I acted all upset. He was hugging me a few moments later saying " i'm so sorry i didn't know!" then he told off that friend of his. I kept it going with the help of a cousin of mine. I wrote a note as if it was from my mother saying that i was adopted and that she was sorry she didn't tell me before. I took it to school and showed him and quite a few others in my grade. after awhile some people caught on that it was my hand writing so i told them that i copied the note so they could read it better. After i went home i actually told my mom my plan and why i was doing it and she actually wrote a note herself to help me out! lol but the odd thing was that when i took the note in that my mom wrote herself they didn't believe that as long as they had believed my mom had wrote the note in my hand writing! lol i kept this story up for maybe 2 weeks. and when i finally came clean that mean guy never bothered me again and my best friend said it was a good one

Cut a gumball in half...carve out the inside and fill it with chili powder and then get a little paint brush wet and some food dye. I gave it to my older brother. Hilarious!
Put plastic wrap on the toilet in the teachers bathroom in grade school...and took all the but a little toilet paper out-hilarious again!
Glued the phone reciever down...so they could pick up the phone, but it wouldn't go through.

Answer 5

Soldered a nickle coin to a shingle nail and drove the nail into the tar paving on the street. Six or eight people tried to pick it up, breaking fingernails and uttering some very unusual words. The joke was over when a boy younger than I pulled out his pocket knife and pried up the coin/shingle nail.

Answer 6

A friend played an at work game of lotto numbers. Every week you would put in $10, when the numbers were drawn, she would match them to her at work numbers. It usually took several weeks to match all seven numbers of the players.The pot was usually $200. I saw her numbers and when that weeks numbers were called , I substuited her numbers. She completely freaked out, jumping I won I won. She played those numbers on the regular lotto too, which was $256 million. It took me a half hour to calm her down and explain. She was really ticked off.

Answer 7

One year, my friends and I decided to pull a fast one on one of our buddies, who tended to be a bit of a show-off.

When he was at school, all of us went over to his house and loaded everything onto a truck. Our friend was a musician, so he had a few really expensive guitars and recording equipment, and we put everything, and I mean everything on the truck(we even took his underwear!). Then we called him and told him he needed to go home cause we think he had a break-in. He came running, and his face was priceless. He sat in the middle of the floor and was crying about his stuff. It took all the energy that we had to keep us from laughing. Finally, before he called 911, we told him what we did.

I swear we all slept with one eye open after that.. we were scared.

Funny as all get out though...

Answer 8

Answer 10

freaked out my younger brother who told us he didn't believe in ghosts with the baby monitor. Was an evil trick, scared him to death for weeks. We put the old baby monitor receiver in his room and kept the transmitter in ours. We hid his under his bed in a shoe box with the volume quite loud. We made silly noises and said his name etc at night when he was supposed to be asleep but was really watching horror movies. It really freaked him out. We teased him about it for weeks.

We also had one of those pen remote control cars- they are about 3cm long and are controlled by the end of a pen. When I worked nights, we hid it under a paper cup. One of the girls I worked with was always talking about the supernatural and contacting the dead. We set her up, we were all in on it except her, and we let her ramble on about the spirit of her dead dog??? don't ask, but we all pretended to be really interested, each of us retelling our own story. There was a pause in the conversation, and at this point, one of the girls pressed the button on the pen. The car (underneath the cup) moved quickly towards her, and she really freaked. We wet ourselves, but she later got us all back with a cockroach card that she brought back from a holiday in greece. It talked about all the different type of cockroaches there are, and as you open it, a mechanism inside that you wound up was released, and it vibrated, simulating the movement of a cockroach. Revenge was a dish best served cold!!!!!
