Practical Joke
There's
nothing more satisfying than a well planned and executed practical joke
on your best buddy. Just the sheer simplicity of a practical joke and
the pending mayhem is so rewarding. But please keep in mind some people
handle a good practical joke better than others, so attempt these at
your own risk. We aren't going to be shelling out the deductible on
your health insurance claim because someone clocked you on account of a
practical joke you got from us!
Ride
Damage Survey
This
practical joke is best done to people who are truly anal about their
car, truck, whatever. The type that parks their car 20 hectares away
from the mall to avoid it getting touched by human kind. When your
buddy leaves the car, get your friend to place a note on the windshield
that reads "Sorry, about the scratch. We will take car of any damage."
and add a fake phone number. Then as you come out with your buddy from
the mall, and they read the note, let the search for the non-existent
scratch begin. You can help by point out "potential" scratches,
watching him or her run over to see, only to realize it's just dirt.
This one can done from afar so that you can watch the owner of the
survey for damage rather than you helping out, can be even more
hilarious.
I
Didn't Type That!
Microsoft
Word and most likely a bunch of other word processing programs now come
with something called "AutoCorrect". When a common misspelling is made,
it checks a list for it, and makes the corresponding correction.
Example, it would change "adn" to "and". The magic of this is that it
is user editable! Hop onto your co-workers workstation, load up their
word processor's AutoCorrect list, and let your imagination run
rampant. First start with the small, but most aggravating ones by
reversing what is already in the list, change the corrections to the
misspellings! Then move to even more humorous stuff like company
acronyms, people's names, it's endless! Then watch to see how long it
takes before they switch the blame from their own typing, to the word
processor, and eventually to their sick minded co-worker... you!

Superglue
a quarter to the ground in front of a vending machine. Only time-lapse
photography could truly show the ingeniousness of such a practical
joke, but sticking around for an hour gives you a pretty good idea of
how cheap people really are.
Dry
This
Park
your car on a the street facing traffic, using a dark colour late model
domestic sedan adds to the authenticity of this prank. Wear dark
clothes and wear sunglasses and hold a hair dryer out the window and
watch in delight as car come squealing to a halt as they pass you.
Flash
Gordon
In
countries that use speed cameras, park your car on the side of the road
at night, preferably somewhere you can hide well. As cars pass you,
take pictures with your camera, the flash will lead the drivers to
believe they have just been caught speeding. Watch the glow of red
lights as they slow down after realizing they just got a ticket for
speeding. Too bad you can't be there to witness the months of anxiety
waiting for the non-existent traffic violation to arrive by mail to all
these "speeding" drivers.
Chalk
Burn
Teacher
or professor giving you a hard time? Grab their blackboard chalk and
drill a small hole straight down from the writing end, insert a match,
and fill the hole with a blend of chalk dust and glue. Put the chalk
back and watch the panic when smokes starts to spew!
Show
Your Colours
Place
a "Gay Pride" sticker on your homophobic buddy's car. The joke only
gets more amusing the longer the person doesn't realize it is there.
This works great for people that reverse into parking spots and tend
not to walk around the back of their car.
