Also in the not good practical jokes while drunk department: deciding the FOB Commander was just joking when he told you guys to pipe down, and piling on and giving him a friendly noogie.
What is it about 0300 and Mr Daniel's judgment juice that brings out the mischief in people?
(No I wasn't one of the drunks, or the FOB commander. I was ops NCO or duty SGM, I forget. Either way, I got to go wake up COs and CSMs and tell them to meet their miscreants at the boss's hooch, forthwith).
My budddy Archangelsk has a saying: Good judgment comess from experience.... Experience comes from bad judgment.

Another not-nice practical joke:
When the USAF security inspector, portraying himself as a Marine for a security exercise, approaches you and asks for directions to the crypto shop...you're supposed to make the "Helping Hand" signal to the Security Police, NOT direct him to the line shack and make a throat-cutting gesture to the Flight Line apes.
(They found the inspector two hours later, ordnance-taped to a grease rack and liberally coated with axle grease and Speedy-Dry :o)
