Good googamooga, Lori! Uh, if I ever chance to go to a TVCH get-together, I may believe the rumor around here that you all carry hatchets!!

Uh, nothing as dramatic as that, but I have been known to set cups of water on the top of half-opened doors, and short-cheat the bed on occasion. As a child, I sent away for the typical goofy gags: the gum pack that snaps over your finger when you reach in for a stick, the flower that squirts someone in the face, and the can of nuts that is not nuts but a sproinging thingamajig that pops out when you unscrew the top. That's about the extent of my ingenuity when it comes to playing a joke on anyone.

I was in college and my cousin was patiently awaiting her college loan/grant to come from the government. Her money was running out fast and it was nearing December and she still didn't have the money. I called a local radio station and had them give her a prank call to say that it was the finance office at the college and that there was a problem with her documentation and there would be another delay and she wouldn't get any money until after Christmas.....they finally had to tell her it was a joke. Poor thing ROTFLMBO - we still talk of this and laugh even though it was now 20 years ago

Hubby and I have a very good friend who is a practical joker. One year we sent him a geezer birthday package. It had all kinds of things like Polident, wrap around sunglasses, a fishing hat..etc.. for his birthday. It was all wrapped very nicely..LOL

My sophomore year in college, my roommate/best friend and I decided to pull one on a friend of ours at KU. We were at KSU. I was talking to her on ICQ and I told her that my roommate had met this guy. I talked about how the guy was cool and all that and then I tell her that my roommate was now engaged after only a couple of weeks. Our KU friend was shocked. We got her phone number and called, and as soon as she picked up, my roommate shouted, APRIL FOOLS! Our dear KU friend was pretty peeved.. LOL But, her falling for that was pretty sad since my roommate is not someone to EVER EVER fall for a guy that fast let alone get engaged. She's still "just dating" her boyfriend of close to four years.

Anywho, I'm waiting for my husband to pull something on me... He wants to tell his mom that I've got a bun in the oven. Wonder if she'll pick up on that one. LOL

At a place I worked back in the early 90’s we were forever playing practical jokes. The best one I ever pulled was somewhat elaborate. One of my coworkers rigged our boss’ computer so that no matter what key he typed a pornographic display appeared on his screen (Maxine Headboom to be exact). So, I helped my boss get back at my coworker.

I arranged to have my brother appear as an FBI agent, complete with dark sunglasses, to arrest my boss for using government property for the distribution of pornography. My brother is 6’4” tall and can be very serious. Our mutual attorney friend concocted an arrest warrant for us. And, I had it set up on a Friday afternoon right before the coworker was scheduled to go out of town.

It went down something like this. The FBI agent arrived at our offices wanting to speak with my boss. I just happened to be the one who saw him in the hall and directed him to my boss’ office (that wasn’t planned). They sat behind closed doors for about 15 minutes and everyone in the office was speculating as to what was going on.

Then the door opened and all of us were summoned into the room. The FBI agent told us that all of us would be contacted for questioning and all of our computers were being confiscated. The coworker was told he had to be there on Saturday to meet with the FBI agents and assist them in the removal of the computers. All of our contact information was taken down on a notepad. Then the FBI agent stood my boss up, charged him with the crime of using government property for the distribution of pornography, read him his rights and handcuffed him. As the agent walked my boss out the door my boss called back to me and asked that I call his wife and lawyer.

While my brother and my boss went downstairs to smoke a cigarette the entire office went nuts. I was laughing so hard that I was crying and everyone thought I was just in hysterics. We all swarmed around the coworkers’ desk to decide what to do next and he started blaming himself for putting Maxine on the boss’ computer. Then he ran to the bathroom.

After he got back to his office our boss and my brother came back. Our boss told the coworker that he had one more thing to say before they left. You could have heard a pin drop. Our boss takes his hands from behind his back, waves them in the air and says, ‘David, payback is hell.’

It took David a moment to figure it out and then he just sank in his chair mumbling that he couldn’t believe this was all a joke. Everyone relaxed at this point and started laughing, slapping the boss and my brother on the back and congratulating me on the best joke they had ever seen played out.

For some odd reason after that there were no more jokes played on either my boss or myself. And, to this day they still talk about it at that courthouse where I used to work.

None. I've never really been a practical joker. I'm not creative enough.

No, I don't do this type of joking; I don't think they are nice things to do to other people.

I've done several - most were brilliant because I take irritating and humiliating others quite seriously. One winter when I was a teenager I went and collected dormant house flies from the attic, put them in a jar and then put the jar in the fridge. There were a couple of hundred of them. Just before my father went to bed, I opened the jar and put it under his bed. The flies slowly woke up and began buzzing around the room. He'd kill 5 or 10, go back to bed and then another batch would emerge. He was cursing and killing flies all night. Ah, good times.

I also once found a seashell - again as a teenager - at the beach that stunk to high heaven. Something had clearly died inside it. Just before my mother went grocery shopping I put it in her purse, hoping she'd open it just as she went to pay for her groceries. I wrapped it in cellophane and poked holes in it so she wouldn't smell it too soon. It worked perfectly and I understand she was mortified. I blamed my father who took the heat. Again, good times.

A joke we pulled on our boss years ago.

We had an audited inventory (something that happened once a year)this day and everyone dreaded that day. We were always in by 6 am and didn't get out until late in the evening.

Well this year we had it set up that only 2 people would show up, the rest of us would all call in sick. After about the 3rd person calling my boss was having a fit, he was begging the people to come in.

What the boss wasn't aware of was that we were all gathered in one of the conference rooms using the company phone to call in.

We had our bosses boss in the room with us and he called his office and asked him if things got started on time and were going smoothly. Of course my boss had to let him know that no one showed up. His boss was having a hard time keeping from busting up laughing listening to him try to explain what was going on. He tells him to get over to the conference room immeaditely to discuss it.

When the boss walked in all he saw was a bunch of us sitting around eating donuts and drinking coffee. The look on his face was priceless.

When I worked for the school board, we used to break in the new girls at the office by this prank. When they were on phone duty, we would call and say Mr. Babich was there in a meeting, could you page him. First name Sonny.
Seconds later, we'd hear on the intercom,
"MR. SONNY BABICH, LINE ONE. MR. SONNY BABICH LINE ONE."

For Christmas two years ago, I gave my son a cell phone for xmas. I wrapped up one of the old shoulder bag purse-size models for under the tree.
