My personal favorite is still when some guys helicoptered a bunch of tires into the crate of Mount Edgecumbe (outside Sitka, AK) and set them on fire to make it look like the volcano was waking up...

Some kids did a similar thing with a cinder cone near Amboy, CA back in the 1940s. Many of the townspeople fled.

I knew some people who were thinking about burning a bunch of tires in the crater of Mt. Tabor in SE Portland on April 1, 1980, but they didn’t do it.

Guess you and I think alike. I didn’t read the comments before I posted the same gag.

I did see another cool one.

Back story, I had just been let go from a long career due to a corporate reorganization. We were facing having to uproot the family and move to a new state. Didn’t know where yet, but the Michigan economy was in such a dump in 2009 there were no jobs at all to be had.

About 3am I was sitting in the bathroom and picked up an old Readers Digest we had in there. There was a short clip about a guy who saw a large dead buck on the side of road, went home and got his Santa costume on and laid down next to the dead deer just in time for the school bus to drive by.

I was laughing and shaking so hard I thought my wife would wake up and think I was crying because of the situation. I still guffaw every time I remember that story.
