Posted: 3/15/2005 4:11:03 AM | Saran wrap on reading glasses that have been left on a desk is good. Trimming at the edge of the lens is hard but the effect is great. Not usually noticed when first picked up but optical quality of saran is spectacularly bad.
-------
Get a somewhat long spool of rope, and when walking down the street ( acting official..), get someone to assist you in measuring a distance. Pick a spot near a corner , go around, and find another person to hold the other end of the rope. Go across the street and just wait...
------
Next time you are having dinner, keep an empty jug of water on the table. When somebody asks you to pass the jug, pretend while picking it up that it is full of water and heavy. Keep the jug on the table near the victim. The victim will apply what he/she considers is appropriate strength needed to pick up the jug. This will cause the jug to jerk up to a significant height.
------
In Word, Under tools, select Auto Correct and then look for all the words that are commonly misspelled and automatically replaced. Type in a common word like "the" and have it be "auto corrected" with another word - the suggestion is to use a naughty word :D
------
A classic: put a rubber band around the hose handle of the kitchen sink. Whenever they turn the sink, water will spray them.
------
Take a screen shot of the victim's desktop and save it on their computer, move/hide all of their folders and make the screen shot into their background. They will freak out for hours because they won't be able to click any of their icons even though they are still there. (I'm going to try this one on the kids' computer, LOL)
------
This one would take some arranging, but would be pretty funny :D Take a truck tire innertube and fold it in half. Place the folded innertube between the mattress and box springs on your friends side of the bed. Very slowly inflate the innertube after your friend falls asleep. This will lift the mattress up and send them rolling off the bed. The guy that reported this one used a fish tank aquarium pump to fill the innertube, and placed the pump in the next room for noise reasons. A bonus with this prank is that the victim is usually half asleep and falls for it a second or third time before investigating. | |

Posted: 3/15/2005 5:55:35 AM | Office pranks - tape up the entrance to each cubicle with packing tape (shrinkwrap is a good alternative, too). Fill the entire cubicle with packing popcorn.
Adjust the volume on everybody's computer speakers to *high*
CRAP - I used to have more of these in memory. . . . Time for some research . . . . . It's coming up on pranking season, and I've got a hankering for some prankering. | |

Posted: 3/15/2005 5:59:26 AM | One of the Discover fun consultants had this trick played on him. He came to work and everybody had a picket sign and was officially on Strike. You can probably figure out the rest on your own.
--------------
Put a small radio in a ceiling panel close to the targets desk. Just have it on loud enough so only they can hear it. When asked deny you hear anything.
------------------
This one works best with paper bag lunches. Change some of the contents of the bag - You know upgrade the lunch. Or change the sandwich meat in someone's lunch.
----------------------
Page yourself over the office intercom and tell yourself to take the day off or compliment yourself on a project, do not disguise your voice.
-------------
Anytime you are in charge of any kind of newsletter or broadcast email system you are the driver's seat to play a prank. Any organization that is short on money can easily fool people into an outrageous fund raising activity or ridiculous cutback. You may want to tell them they are only allowed one toilet flush per day or some other ridiculous restriction. | |

Posted: 3/15/2005 6:00:51 AM | This involves duct taping a pencil in between the liner and the shell of a ski boot. But you could use any annoying object on any kind of footwear.
------------------------
Take a picture of your butt and tape onto someone's driver's license and they won't notice until they pull it out for the next speeding ticket.
---------------------
Put feminine stickers on the back of your victim's shirt if he is male or vice versa. Some examples are like "boy crazy" or "princess". Put messages on work lockers, cars, houses, and other noticeable locations. Try to find out which form of music they hate the most and put that sticker on. You can also change their political endorsement signs during a hotly contested election or referendum.
--------------------------
When you have a friend coming into the airport make a sign that says, "Welcome back from Prison" or "Congratulations on your sex change." Bonus points for getting strangers involved and saying things like, "I saw your story on TV - a terrible miscarriage of justice," or "Wow you don't look like a man/woman at all any more."
--------------------------
Leave a note after you have lets say toilet papered somebody's house and put the wrong name on it - Like, "Ha ha Steve this is payback for sleeping with my sister."
---------------
If you can get the exact same clothes as they are wearing and get them a size smaller or bigger, well you can figure out the rest | |

Posted: 3/15/2005 6:03:09 AM | If you can move somebody's car and put it in a different spot from where they originally left it you can cause a great amount of panic. You may need extra keys or a floor jack to achieve this one. Try a different floor of the parking garage or move it over a few feet. This confuses the owner and makes them think they have lost their mind. Best to use this one on April Fools so that at least you have a reason for the target to lose their mind
------------------
Get inside their car and turn all the controls to the on position in the car. The wipers, the radio, the signal, parking brake, adjust the mirrors, move the seat all the way to the front or back, turn on the vents (Point them all at the drivers seat on high). Not an evil prank but it will certainly wake them up in the morning. For bonus points set all the preset dials on the radio station to their least favorite station.
--------------------
Take some regular balloons and fill them up. Place under the tires so that when the car moves they think they have a major problem. Works best at night. Try to keep them out of site.
------------------
Pour a little vegetable oil on the on the muffler. You may need to crawl underneath the car and use a rag. Huge amounts of smoke will come off the car and cause a very concerned driver. It will smell like a giant French fry. This one is not for the faint of heart and is a huge minus in the environmental department.
----------------
Fill the defroster vents of someone's car with confetti. Be very careful not to spill any so they have no idea what is coming. Put the defroster on full so when they get in the car and turn it on the confetti goes everywhere. A good vacuuming will clear it up.
--------------------------------
The next you buy walnuts you get carefully crack the walnut along the central seam. Then put in different stuffing for the walnuts. Then superglue the two halves back together.
Almonds - This will confuse the subject
Put one with a note that says "I am a walnut picker in the jungle and I am being held against my will. Please save me"
Fill the shell with corn starch. When the victim cracks the nut, it explodes in a white cloud.
Put a small toy inside a shell.
Put a gummy worm inside the shell.
You may want to make a couple extra and drop them into the bulk bin at the local supermarket.
-----------------------
Pour water in hand, make a sneezing noise then throw water on back of person's neck. Best not to use this one on strangers - You may get punched.
---------------------------------
Make some cookies with **stard hot chilies. Put the cookies out but put a sign up that says "Do Not Eat - Very Hot".
------------------------
Well the old trick says take cans from the kitchen and peel off the labels. But for an added dimension to this prank - carefully slice off the labels with a sharp knife off two cans that are the same size. Then mix all the labels up and glue them back to the cans. Replace the cans
-------------
You know those spring snakes that pop out of can. Their effect is magnified when people are sneaking around grabbing food they shouldn't be touching. Works well in a lunch box | |

Posted: 3/15/2005 6:04:30 AM | Spray paint weird vegetables or plants and put them in your neighbor's garden. This prank is a great way for the garden fanatic to start their April Fool morning.
-------------------
Many new TV's have an option on them that lets you set a time for them to turn on. Simply go to the menu and set it for about 2:37 AM. Before you go to bed turn the volume up to max and shut off.
--------------------------
For kids when the kids fall asleep. Without waking the kids change the beds they are sleeping in.
--------------
Put a coat hanger or two in between the sheet and the mattress on target's bed.
---------------------
Get lots of cheap alarm clocks (from garage sales or second hand stores). Set them to go off at 3:00am and every 20 minutes thereafter. Hide them well.
--------------------------
When people are obsessive about order, ensure to move things around to make them lose their minds. We used to do this with the fridge magnets. Just by changing the order around the room mate would go absolutely bananas. Slight movement of the furniture or any other movable object can also be very irritating to subject. For better results do it subtle, do it everyday.
----------------------
It's usually not a good idea to make people late but it is totally fine to make them early or at least wake them up early. This trick works best when you change every clock, including the car and their watch. If they confront you tell them there was a power surge. | |

Posted: 3/15/2005 6:34:03 AM | | Get a bag of oreo cookies, scrape the filling out and put toothpaste in them place them in a baggie, go to work and hand them out to your co-workers or your children at home, the looks on their faces will be well worth the time you put into doing this!! | |

Posted: 3/15/2005 11:38:57 AM | Many years ago I lived in a duplex, the other side was inhabited by a crotchety old couple.
They used to yell and scream at me, my kids, my visitors, and anyone else who stepped on "their" side of the grass, or did anything else to set them off. For april fools day I purchased several cans of florescent pink spray paint. When all was quite in the neighbor hood at around 3 in the morning, I went outside and spray painted their side of the grass. The look on their faces was worth all the trouble. Them standing there on the grass shaking their mean old fists at me made the whole street laugh. I had to move out because of this, but for years when ever I ran into someone who lived on that street we laughed about this. | |

Posted: 3/25/2006 10:19:48 AM | | Started this one in late January, a co-worker bought a new car, for about 3-4 weeks, we added 5 gallons of gas, once a week. Asked him how he liked his car, he loved the gas mileage. Then, for the next few weeks, we took out 5 gallons, then asked again......had his car back to the shop, couldn't figure out why the gas mileage got so bad......we got him on april fools.......... | |

Posted: 3/25/2006 12:57:49 PM | Chewin' tabacky/ snuff is disgustin'.....'specially if the user insists on spittin' it on the floor at the shop.
This foul behavior can easily be remedied, however, with a generous lacing of of cayenne pepper in their their chew supply.
Unfortunately when I did this I was on nights/ he was on days (left 'is supply at work 'cuz 'is ol' lady wouldn't let 'im chew at home) so I missed the reaction, but apparently it was priceless. He whined & snivelled so much that the boss bought 'im a new pouch of chew.
But he learned to swallow.

Posted: 3/25/2006 2:48:26 PM | Get up early, get to the office early, and fill all the coffeepots with decaf. Then invent some important reason to beg "just a minute" from people on their way to the can. It's easy to develop a caffeine addiction without being aware of it, and the office drug addicts will keep drinking coffee until their addiction is satisfied. (which, of course, it never will)
----------
Get a handful of new one-dollar bills from the bank, cut out a bill-sized piece of stiff cardboard, stack them and make a pad by cementing one side with rubber cement. When you need to pay for something, bring out a pad of bills and tear off as many as needed. | |

Posted: 3/25/2006 7:36:36 PM | Getday, everyone.We had a Classic April Fool"s prank one year in the Town near us.
We have a Family Farm in New South Wales, Australia.The Nearest Town is Wagga Wagga{Aboriginal for place of Many Crows-An australian Bird}Wagga has a population of around 65,000 people.Wagga is built on the Murrumbidgee river.The Mrumbidgee is a quite sizable river and is fed from the High Country or Snowy Mountains.
Here in Australia,we have a Fellow called****Smith who has a Chain of Electronic Stores,promotes many Australian causes and issues and is a Celebrity Adventurer.One could say he is a smaller version of Richard Branson.
One April Fools day I was up early on the Farm and had the Radio on.The local Radio Station 2WG broadcast that****Smith Smith had sucessfully towed an Iceberg back from the Antartic!!!They stated that at 10 am that morning, the Iceberg would be towed down the River past Wagga Beach!!!I heard it and thought"I wonder how many Mugs they will suck in!!"
You would not read it about it,but there were hundreds down at the Beach waiting for this Iceberg to come past!!!I had to laugh!!! | |

Posted: 3/26/2006 4:22:11 AM | | This one i did to my son....The local radio station was having people call in for Spongebob X boxes. We tried a couple of times but you know that you never get through with hundreds of people calling at the same time. Now...to win this X box you had to sing the Spongebob Squarepants song as well as being the 10th caller. So..i dialed a number randomly and told my son we got through and to sing the song to the radio person.....little did he know it wasnt the radio station but joe shmoe from somewhere in town..... | |
