Comments on: How to Play a Practical Joke

on 12/12/2007 If you think this is funny you ought to check out http://www.manuremail.com ! You can send your buddy some manure anonymously. Then he can reply on the website without knowing who you are. You're notified by email to check the website to read his reply. It is hilarious!

on 8/8/2006 This works best at construction sites if you feel like picking on the new guy, which you do. Get them to look for non-existant tools for you, like a left-handed hammer or a cabinet leveler.

on 8/4/2006 Wait until everyone in the house has gone to bed (and the mark is still out with their friends) then grab about 25 empty soda cans and stack them about 2-3 inches away from the door in a pyramid shape. Now turn off all the lights and wait until the unsuspecting person comes home and opens the door only to be greeted by a late night crash. Works best on wood floors.

on 6/30/2006 When nobody is looking, get a small plastic cup and fill it with water and then prop a door open with something. Then place the cup of water on top of the door. When they walk through the door they get wet! This works best in schools and in shops.

on 3/28/2006 Take a picture of your mark's computer screen with all of their shortcuts. Be sure to line the picture up so you only get the screen, no monitor. Load that picture onto their computer and set it as their background. Now delete all of their shortcuts. They'll try to click their background thinking it will open programs.

on 3/15/2006 When you get the chance, put itching powder in a friends sweatshirt or coat, and wait until they put it on. The itching powder will drive them crazy. This is especially funny during class. You can get itching powder at joke shops or you can make your own. Good luck.

on 1/16/2006 Microsoft Office software has an auto correct function you can customize. Add common words to the list and watch the user try to type a paper.

on 11/22/2005 Ever hear of snap caps? They're little paper things that go bang when they hit a hard surface. You can buy them at any novelty shop. Put a few of them on each blade of a ceiling fan. When someone turns on the fan, after a few seconds, the caps should fly off and go bang. I don't know how well this will work, there are many variables, but the theory is sound. Plus it is harmless!

on 11/22/2005 When multiple acquaintances are at a get together, get multiple rubber radio-antenna toppers, of things like; flowers for your macho guys, Ford signs for your Chevy drivers (one for each car), and one license plate cover. As someone is sure to notice the antenna-toppers, they will all take them off, and everyone will forget about the license plate cover.

This is especially funny when they come to school on Monday, not knowing about it, and allowing everyone to see their beautiful new license plate outline.

on 11/22/2005 This one is easy and works very well in a busy office environment. Simply take some Scotch tape and tape down the button on the phone that is released when the handset is raised. Try to pick a mark that doesn't always look at the phone when answering it - the busier the person the more frustrated they become!

on 11/22/2005 This one is great in large office workspaces (especially cubicles) - Take a musical greeting card apart and take out the playing device (usually a small, flat circuit board). Don't forget the sliding thing that turns it off. Take the music maker and tape it under the desk of a co-worker (or take out a drawer to get access). Use a string to tape the slider to the drawer (the shorter the the string can be the better it works) if you can get this one to work it'll drive your mark crazy!

on 11/22/2005 Hide a walkie-talkie on a dog and bring the dog to the victim and talk in the other walkie-talkie.

on 11/22/2005 Make sure your mark is not allergic to any type of hot peppers. Next time you make a sandwich for your mark, cut up a habanero pepper and put it on the sandwich. This works especially well if you pack a lunch for work, school, or even an outing in public. This prank also works well with any food that you can successfully hide the cut-up pepper in. But it's very important your mark is a good sport, because these peppers are really hot!

on 11/22/2005 If you're at home, or at a restaurant, loosen the lids on the salt and pepper shakers. It can be very funny watching how frustrated people get.
