In my younger days I worked in a huge building with 1700 others. Walking out of the empty cafeteria I noticed that a roof leak had been cordoned off with black-striped yellow tape. I asked my companion if he had his chalk on him. He did. I laid down and said, “outline me.” That and a couple of catsup packs completed the effect.
The next day the lobby was full of reporters. We all got called into the cafeteria, which had been cleaned up, and we got dressed down.

Brilliant, but baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad;)
Did you ‘fess up?
Very creative.
All our dairy cows are lined up on either side of the long barn where fairgoers wandered through the middle of the barns on Sunday after church to see all the prize animals standing or laying in the straw.
We stuffed a pair of jeans with straw and waited patiently for a cow to lie down at which time we inserted the jeans underneath her rear end. We added a pair of boots, crooked the knee and waited. Beautifully, this time the cow sat on her tail such that when she'd try to swat flies the leg of our poor squished dummy would move as if struggling to get out.
It was perfect, looked real as hell, and the reactions of the unsuspecting "city slickers" was priceless.
Thanks for reminding me....I've not remembered in decades.
My mom had spent the night with a relative so my wife and I went to her condo and did a tape outline of a body, then affixed some Police Line tape across the front door.
Long story short, she freaked out and so did her neighbors. I won a best Practical joke of the month contest on the local talk station
Totally worth it!
Roommate and me did that a campus bus stopped at Texas Tech U about '79.
Made the school newspaper and included a bus in the pic.
A retraction was issued the next day stating that a bus did not run over anyone...that time
