Comments on How to Play a Practical Joke

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Send the victim a lot of mail. Make sure you tell the mark that you are either older or younger, depending on the age. For example, if you are in 5th grade, say that you are his 8th-grade friend. Make sure it's convincing and doesn't sound like you.

When you're playing a sport or something and your mark is playing with you and is wearing those gym shorts (basketball kind of sport shorts), find the least expected moment to pull down his shorts in front of everyone. But be careful not to pull his boxers down, too!

Open up all of your victims CD cases, and swap all the CDs around. When your victim is looking for a specific CD, it could take them hours to find it (depending on how many CDs they have). Also, if they have their cases in a specific order, you can move the cases around.

If you really dislike someone like a teacher, you get an apple with a worm in it and put it on his desk. Remember, take caution so no one sees you do this.

Attach a notice on your mark's car without him seeing it that reads: "Please hoot. It's my birthday." Your mark will be amazed how many friendly people he will find on the road that day.

This is a good one to do in like a motel room with friends or at camp or someplace with people you know. What you do is you take some Jello, preferably red, and dump it in the back of the toilet, taking the lid off first. Then, when someone flushes the toilet, it'll be red and they'll get freaked out!

Mix the victim's hand lotion with Sunless Tan Cream! Within a few hours, their hands will be a nice orangey-tan color. This prank is great because it fades within a few days.

Weaken one corner of the ketchup packet by poking a small hole in it. Position it on the rim under the bumps with the hole pointing into the toilet. When the mark sits down, the ketchup squirts into the toilet and looks like blood. Guaranteed trip to the doctor!

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!

Take a small post-it note and put it on the bottom of the computer mouse. Place the post-it on so that the ball of the mouse touches the post-it, instead of the desk or the mouse pad. When the mark uses his computer mouse, nothing will happen on the screen because the ball isn't moving. Simple, quick, and you'll meet the dummies among us.

"Bake" a cake from wood. Use a round piece of wood, more or less the size of a cake. Drill holes for the candles; decorate it with icing. Ask your mark to cut the cake and be ready with lots of cameras to capture the important moment of cutting the cake.

Mix a hair-lightening substance (such as Sun-In or Hydrogen Perioxide) into the victim's shampoo. After a few washes their hair will be much blonder than usual.

Get 2 ketchup packets you can get in resturants and place under the little blocks of the toilet seat(keeps it slightly raised). When they sit down on the seat the packet will burst spraying their legs!

If someone you know has a sink with that extra spray nozzle on it that only comes on when you press the lever, tape the lever open an position it to where it will spray the next person to turn on the faucet. Don't forget or you will embarass yourself!
