I am not a prankster but I could not resist this one.
A few years ago we went on a trip and I hired a friends son (19-20) to come over and give hay and water to our goats (2). We paid him well when we got back. He say my daughter a couple of days later and he said I owed him another 50 bucks because one of our girls had bitten him. Truth - our goats did not bite so he must have been messing around a bit. Plus our girls did not like guys for some reason. Plus he was kind of a smart alec then. So a couple of days after that I showed up at their house. When he came out I tried to give him an envelope. I apologized profusely for the goat biting him and said my daughter had said I did not pay him enough. He kept refusing the envelope. I insisted and said even if he did not use it he could put it in the basket at church or do something nice for someone with it. I said it was worth it after all he could sue us if he wanted to. I was so sincere. He still did not want the envelope so I put it in a little box next to the door and left. Laughing all the way to the car. I heard nothing for days. Turns out he could not open the envelope, he felt so guilty. His mom said he should and he said why, there's only money in it. He finally opened it and inside was a smiley face and 50 dollars in play money. I guess he is a hard guy to play a joke on and he was going all over the house, his parents said I got him good.

On board ship, sending someone to get some relative bearing grease.

She was madder than a midget with yo-yo!

LMBO!! That's the funniest thing I've seen for awhile; thanks for the laugh.

It's hysterical to watch. That prank was pulled on me several years ago; I remember thinking wth?? when the dang thing wouldn't come up. LOL! I laughed for days and then pulled it at work (got about 5 people) and none of the victims (hehe) thought it was a bit funny. Sheesh, told them to lighten up. :)

Great that you got a lefty...the look on her face must have been priceless! :) ^5!

Yeah, that was what I was thinking too. Get a man who is likely not eligible, a Marxists, likely Muslim, likely Homo with wife and kids as a disguise, and dumb as a rock into the highest office in the land by pushing a “Hope and Change” slogan and using willing media to bash opponents while shielding said Marxists by calling opposition “racist”.

I think pranks are destructive and hurtful. I don’t like them. Obama’s election is the greatest and most destructive prank ever.

Super gluing a quarter to the floor at work!

I used to subscribe to "The Slick Times" during the Bubba years, and they'd often include these:

Since I'd eat lunch in the parking garage in the car, I'd fold 'em up a bit and drop them around.....always a hoot to watch how people would surreptitiously snatch 'em up and scurry away....

Sorry, but nobody can come close to the large number of really original pranks like this group of college students:

MIT Hack Gallery

getting obama elected as president.

A very close second behind Al Gore's man made global warming prank.

The best friend of a gal I worked with worked as the receptionist at a sperm bank......since I do "voices" very well, we got on the phone to her, with my desperate pleadings that "I want to make a deposit; no I NEED to make a deposit"

Joanie would tell me I should make an appointment, but I'd get more quivering and hurried and tell her "NO - you don't understand! I NEED to make a deposit right now!"

At that point my coworker busted out laughing and the show was over.

[Outlaw Woman]

Oh man...lol

‘Products’ of Public Education huh? ! (wonder how many of the maroons tried to ‘spend’ them?)

[ErnBatavia]

Heh....see my #70....

Too bad it didn't end like this: but I'd get more quivering and hurried and tell her "NO - you don't understand! I NEED to make a deposit right now--oh, wait. Never mind."

Made up an “official” looking “sex offender in your neighborhood” notice on bright yellow paper. Put the victim’s name and photo on it - so HE was the one on the official sex offender notice. Quite convincing - he was the new sex offender who moved to the neighborhood. Name, picture, address, phone number - all listed there.

Early, early morning, I put a copy on his front door, and on his windshield, under the wiper blade (face down, of course).

Then proceeded to put blank bright yellow paper sheets on every car and door within sight of his front door.

Needless to say, he freaked pretty bad that morning when he went to leave the house for work!

What's the best prank you've seen?

Unfortunately, I can't relate it. But it involved a morel mushroom and made someone nearly barf in visceral reaction.

Wittenberg U, Fall Semester 1978.
The ATO fraternity had a large bell they would ring when we scored a touchdown.
Night before a game, some DSP pledges and I stole the clapper from the bell.
Next day, we score the first touchdown and the ATO brothers all gather at the bell and start to rock it and ring it.
NO DING DONG possible without the clapper.
Great consternation and humor takes place in front of 10,000 fans.
Late spring term before graduation, our Delta Sig brothers took the clapper back to the ATO house and great fun was had by all.

Your post reminded me of a prank played on me and a group of co-workers many years ago. My memory is quite vivid considering it was nearly fifty ago. I still remember the names of the people involved. It was a small company and we knew each other well.

Upon returning to work after lunch, the story going around was that Jimmy, one of our machinists, lost part of a finger while working on his car during lunch. He hadn’t returned from the hospital but the word was that he was okay. He caught his finger in the fan belt of his VW Bug. Someone retold the story each time another group returned from lunch.

The word going around was that OB had retrieved the severed finder from the parking lot and had put it in a small box.

There must have been a dozen of us when OB came to the lobby carrying a small closed box. Most of us were curious to see the finger. As everyone gathered around OB slowly removed the lid. There sitting in a clump of blood soaked cotton was the piece of finger. As we leaned closer, the finger quickly jumped up causing many gasp and screams.

What OB had done was to insert one of his fingers through a hole in the bottom of the box into the bed of cotton soaked with blood. His timing was perfect as we all leaned closer to get a better look.
