I used to like glueing quarters to the floor or sidewalks, then waiting to see people try to pick them up.

Anyone ever do stuff like that? Or had a good one pulled on them?

xD My neighbour did that when I was 9. Had me confused for a good 30 seconds while he and my dad just laughed at me :/

My old roommate pulled a great one. I woke up one morning, went into the bathroom, went to turn on the shower and found it covered in this sticky, somewhat translucent white substance. Totally thought he'd jerked off on it >.< But he assured me it was a concoction of flour and water or something. Sure hope he was telling the truth :/

one that isn't even a joke: in a certain small village where i lived for only a year in middle school people tend to take other peoples shoes if they are closer to the door or easier to put on than their own. this especially happened a lot at the school, so if i couldn't find my shoes when it was time to leave, i'd just have to take someone else's, and go to the neighbors if i wanted my own back

I never was much for those jokes, but I do love to make people jump.

I knew a camp counselor who loved to do things like this all the time.  She was like an aunt to me, lol, I knew her outside of camp too, but that's when most of her joking went on.  She filled showers full of balloons to the point where you had to pop a couple to get them out.  Duct tape rolled sticky side out stuck in people's sleeping bags.  Alarm clocks set for the middle of the night and hidden somewhere in the room.  Fishing line attached from the zipper pull of a sleeping bag to something else.  I can't recall everything at the moment but some of them were so clever... she was a master at practical jokes and we all knew it.  I really wish I could remember more, and if I do, I'll post again, lol.

Well, one summer they decided to get her back.  We were at breakfast the last day of camp and they decided to sneak up on her and suddenly duct taped her to the chair she was sitting in.  Then they put a video in the small tv in the dining room... we all assumed it was the "camp video" that they had been making all week long with little snippets that got caught on camera, it was tradition to do it that morning.  Instead, suddenly I hear from her, "HEY!  THAT'S MY HOUSE!" and indeed it was!  The video showed that some of them had went back to her house and stuck hundreds of plastic forks into her front yard.  It spelled "GOT YA!" lol XD

We had a stagehand pass out from drinking too much after a show one night.  So we gaff taped^* him to a chair, put in the back of a the truck and off to Portland OR he went.  They unloaded him about 13 hours and 500+ miles later.  I didn't have too much to do with that, other than laughing my ass off, but I did go ahead and take his wallet from him before we loaded him up.  No sense in letting him have any money or ID.  In for penny, in for a pound.



* - It's very strong like Duct Tape, but it does not have a shiny plastic coating, it's just black cloth.  They love it in show biz.

I have been known to put black shoe polish on the microscope head set. And warn people not to say anything.

There was time I had several PhD students who were a gas. One of the girls was really pestering two of the guys who picked her up and put her in a -20 bench freezer. She of course got out easily. She returned to the lab with a bucket of freezing water. The two guys, who were also medics and wearing suits as they had clinics on that day, were talking to each other; she upended the bucket over both of them. They were drenched and frozen. Then the pagers went off to call them to clinic.

There were people  on the floor crying with laughter.

Oh dear

I'm laughing again

We did a similar thing to this passed out little groupie, except we taped her to a wall,(she still had clothes on and everyone were true gentleman about it.) we had to leave early, so I suppose it was maid service that got her down. Oh, she was sideways so she could sleep well.

I just read about Nolly Goldsmith making a candle out of cheese and giving a wax one to a servant and having a candle eating race. That made me smile.

If you don't know who Nolly Goldsmith is, I mentioned him here...
