Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Best pranks

A few charter boat captains and sundry undesirables were having beers one night and a certain captain mentioned he hoped his battery's didn't die overnight, with a large amount of rain expected he knew his bilge pumps would need to be working.
A plot was hatched.
Early the next morning a boat was towed out of it's slip to a spot where it wouldn't be seen. Four cinder blocks were tied to the dock lines so they would be pointing straight down and a marine antenna was stuck in the mud, the only thing pointing out of the water were there should be a 30' boat. Then a phone call was made, "dude your boat sank".
"I knew it, I knew it"! was all he could say until he was told everything was OK, then it was, "you bastids, you bastids".

A buddy of mine nailed me one time. A few weeks went by and I called him and impersonated a texas ranger who had found a load of cows with his brand at an auction in Houston.

A civilian Secretary and I used to play pranks on each other. One thing I loved to do was mess with her phone. It was such a big part of her job dealing with the phones that it drove her nuts. Just moving it to the other side of the computer could send her into fits

Well, one time I did just that. It was a ruse to get her to let her guard down. Of course she saw it right away. She worked on an elevated platform and could kinda see down to where we were. She glared and yelled down that I'd have to do better than that.

A bit later, while she was on break, I used some scotch tape to tape her handset down. That was to be the first of several little jokes I played that night.

What I didn't know, was when she moved the phone back to the correct side, she had inadvertently wrapped the cord around the base of the computer monitor. We're talking a late 90s tube style monitor.

As she's coming back from break, her phone is ringing. She literally ran to her desk and whipped up the handset. With the base firmly attached.

Which would have been funny. Remember that elevated platform she worked on? Yup, monitor flies off her desk and down the ramp that led down to my work area. Exploding into tiny glass and plastic pieces.

Whoops.

She never ratted me out either. Punched me, but never ratted me out. Tough old broad.

Years ago I was visiting some guys who worked for my same organization. They told me about a nasty prank they pulled on their boss a few months earlier.

One of the guys sat in a chair and smeared a gob of peanut butter on the bottom of his shoe. When the boss came in they started making small talk.

The other prankster finally said, "It smells awful in here. Did one of you guys step in some dog s--t?"

The boss looked at the bottom of his shoes and then looked at the shoes of the guy in the chair. He pointed and said, "There's where the smell is coming from."

The guy in the chair looked down at his shoe and said, "I'm not sure if that's what you think it is, but I better check it out." So he stuck his finger in the glob and then stuck it in his mouth and said, "Yep, you're right. It's dog s--t!"

They said the boss started heaving and gagging and had to head to the bathroom before he threw up. They both agreed that was the best prank ever!

There ain't nothing funnier than emptying out someones deodorant/anti-persperant tube and replacing it with creamcheese...... I never get tired of that one.......

Awhile back there was a thread about pranks on the fire and
I heard some really good ones. I think it was a year or so ago.
My dad had a friend many years ago who a total bleep to most
people and didnt care who liked him and who didnt. At one time
he lived in a rural area and two of his neighbors were feuding
about something and he was feuding with one of them also. He
was at the neighbors house that he wasnt feuding with and noticed
that he seldom locked his door when not at home. One afternoon
when his neighbor was running an errand, he quickly went over
to his house and when nobody else was driving by, he removed the
front door of the house and made off with it and disposed of it in a landfill or somewhere who knows. The guy comes home and finds no door and calls the police thinking he has been robbed. Police show up and nothing missing except the door. He immediately blames his other neighbors kids and goes to his house and confronts him, it got pretty heated and police came back and told both men to cool it and go home. Of course all of the other neighbors come outside to see what all the fuss is all about and start talking about who would do such a mean thing to someone. He later told my dad how he did the prank and said he got a heck of a laugh out of watching his neighbors almost fight each other in front of the whole community.

I have got a couple of easy ones
pee in a flat bottom bowl and freez it then slide it in your enemys mail slot [ piss puck]
or wrap a rubber band around the spray noozel of the kitchen sink when someone turnes on the faucet they'll get it
secure the hootus that makes the shower turn on in the bath tub and point the shower head toward the victum

Fill the shampoo bottle with Nair..

Man, you guys got me thinking of some of the ruthless pranksters
that I knew in the USArmy. I dont know where to start.....

Little piece of tape over the laser on a person's mouse will frustrate them.

Also - place where my bro went to college, the dorm room doors opened to the INSIDE, so we would take a garbage can, fill it 1/2 full of water and lean it against the door. 4 am and start pounding on the door. Guy opens the door and gets douched with the cold water...

Someone a while back on here I think, posted about playing back a recording of a mountain lion growling at their deer camp. That'd be a good one to see.

A coworker moved to a new town... So as a moving gift he was sent several subscriptions to gay porn magazines... His name, but his new neighbors' addresses...

on one job a guy put never seize in the hatband of my hardhat.
a little bearing blue on his hatband had him wearing a blue forehead stripe for a month.

another time a guy greased my truck seat.
i pumped a latex glove full of hydraulic oil til it was as big as a pig and left it crimped off on his truck seat. I didn't oil his truck seat, he did...

A mate of mine has seen a bit of Loctite dabbed on a co-workers overall press studs at the start of his shift. The lad was wondering why he had an audience at knock off time.

A jolly rancher or other hard candy in the shower head is a pretty good one. The warm water will dissolve the candy and no matter how long they are in the shower they will end up being sticky.

Ketchup packets under the toilet seat in the womens bathroom, or
Coolaid packet in the headband of a hardhat on a warm day.

I've seen or been a part so many pranks pulled on others and sometimes had pulled on me that I couldn't begin to list them all. Some were pretty hard core too.

One I remember we used to pull back years ago was whenever we knew a coworker was due a azz chewing over something we would get behind the boss where he couldn't see us but the coworker still could and try to make our coworker crackup laughing. If the boss happened to turn around we'd all be looking innocent and busy working.

Had an especially tough one to crack once. Our coworker's head was all trembling, biting his lip, holding his breath trying his best to not look at us. Finally we just dropped our britches and mooned him. That did the trick.

We dang near got ourselves caught that time too.

Substitute a "blue screen of death" file for a persons normal desktop image. Some will reboot their machine a dozen times before figuring it out.

I got an early start. Playboy centerfold on a pull-down overhead screen in Junior High School....and it only grew from there!

To be continued.......

A "Giant economy Sized" box of Tide laundry soap used to be be just THAT,....a great big sucker.

A friend who worked at the local A&P put the gleep on one,.....and later that evening it went into NOLa's almost brand new "Mardi Gras Fountain".

A nice quiet section of the "lAKE SHORE", where we'd grown up had become a purple and gold lit circus, we had a plan.

That box of Tide, quietly and slowly dropped into the entire outer periphery of that monstrosity around 0200 had, by 0400 morphed into a pulsating "Blob" of internally lit SUDS, covering an area FAR wider than we'd even dreamed of. Sumbitch was THREE stories tall, if it was a foot.

High Phosphate , old school detergent ( the stuff that actually GOT your clothes clean,).........sent the grass surrounding the fountain into some pretty strange growth pattern, for months subsequently.

I'd know more about this, but am only masquerading as an American,.........somebody who grew up in Nawlins' would know more.
