Best Practical Joke

[shafferpilot]

At college we did the tried and true "soup shower" trick. The suite was a six person suite in three bedrooms. We had two full baths and a common living room. The one guy we didn't like (ROTC over-privileged jerk) was the target. We removed the shower head in the bath he used and placed a bullion cube in the pipe, then replaced the head. The other two who used that shower just used the other one. He was enough of a slob, that he didn't really notice. We repeated this several times over the week. I must say that his normal football player musk improved to the flavor of a sweaty steakBut eventually he realized that the rusty looking water that came out when he first turned on the shower wasn't normal and had maintenance come and check it out.... Needless to say, he moved to a different room later that day. Guess that doesn't really count as a practical joke, but with an appropriate target it could

In college, our doors opened into the rooms (rather than out into the hallway). Tying together the doorknobs of adjacent or opposite occupied rooms made for an interesting day.

Yeah ours did too, however we were not quite so nice. We would always wait around for a week and try to find the one person that was your stereotypical nerd or jock. Once we did find this person we would take the 55 gallon trash can from the end of the hall and fill it up with water. We would than take said trash can and lean it up against the door and then knock. We would usually do the knocking at 2 or 3 in the morning to get the desired effect. Well I am sure that you can figure out what happened.

Now you may be wondering how we got away with this? Well our janitor drank a lot, even on the job. He was a cool guy. We would always give him fair warning when we were about to do it. Fair warning, a bottle of nice scotch, and $100.

This also works with Jolly Rancher candies.

A shot of Coca-cola and a shot of Jagermeister look very similar. That can be a useful piece of information to have.

A shot of Worcestershire sauce and Jagermeister look the exact same. Watching someones face after they do a Jagerbomb with Red Bull and Worcestershire is priceless. I can say from experience it's very salty.

We used to take the ketchup packs that you get with fast food and fold them in half, and bite a small hole in the middle of the bend. Then we would place them under the pads on the toilet seats. When the mark sits on the toilet, they either get ketchup squirted all over their bottom or, when they inspect their "baby", there is a lot of red stuff in the bowl with it. Either way, it's pretty funny.

There used to be a thing called 'The Anarchist's Cookbook' that had all kinds of evil stuff in it. I used to see it all over the early file sharing apps like Hotline.

Not actually a joke, but somewhat amusing.

The scene: A local dump near a thread dying plant.

Starring a bulldozer and thousands of reject spools of thread.

Add a dozen high schoolers and toss spools about, covering the bulldozer with thread: thickly.

Enter equally thick bozer operator, who thinks he can just break the thread by driving off ...

WRONG!

Done that many times.

For hockey tournaments we would set the alarm clocks for like 3:45am in someone elses room. It was always funny to hear someones alarm going off at that hour.

We would also wait till a guy was just about done with a shower then take a bucket of ice water and throw it over the curtain on him.

Put my best friends sandals in the oven one time. Luckily his mom checked the oven before preheating.

You could tape the sink hose handle down so when the sink is turned on it sprays at the person.

Heres a good one if you dont mind fire and your in college. Take a can of hairspray and a lighter, when the roommate is in their room (if your in a suite) light the lighter near the floor and the bottom of the door. Then spray the hairspray. This big f-ing ball of fire should flame up on the other side.

We had a coach who loved his Harley Fat Boy, had it all chromed out and jet black paint. One night at a team dinner we took all of the TP from the place, wrapped his bike so you couldnt see anything but white and then rolled the last of the TP in to his feet. What makes it better is we called the guy Shrek, he is gigantic. He was not happy.

I drive a flatbed truck for a lumber company. What we do with a newbie is like after two weeks on the job we take all of his straps and tie down one unit of lumber really tight. I had it happen to me and I had to cut the staps off with a knife. We used to deliver lumber early in the morning and some of the guys would go out and scare the crap out of you while you were making you delivery.

I worked in an oil change shop when I was a teen. My favorite trick for newbies was to put my hand in the fan of a running car. Sounds dangerous, but if you put your hand in the backside of a fan, the flat part of the blade is all that hits you, so it hurts a little, but it won't cut you. Of course I'd grab my hand start screaming like someone just murdered my mom. Quite effective if the newbie is standing right there!

We had a practical joke that got the cops involved.
.......I told him 'The Police are going to want to talk to you in Brent's office.' He took off and straightened it all out.
There was a zero tolerance policy on practical jokes after that.

The lesson people should take away from that: never let your practical jokes go unsupervised.

Ruins it for everyone.

when we used to have parties in college we'd keep to bottles under the bar. a vodka bottle filled with water, and a vodka bottle filled with everclear. we were out for blood.
i had two roommates that poorly hid a jug of soured chunky milk in my room. so i got another guy from the house and we split up the milk into two containers and put them in each of their rooms. one guy was anal as hell about his room and found it cleaning two days later. we hadnt said anyting so he though he was double crosseed by his previous accomplice. so now the one guy has both things of milk in his room and me and my other friend are the only ones who know whats going on. suspence builds and we keep checking this guys' room for three weeks to see if it starts to smell, its hte middle of winter and one cup is on the heater vent, the other is under hte bed in the far corner. eventually it starts to smell. he cant figure it out and starts to put fans in his doorway, which made hte whole house stink. but it gets worse and he still cant figure it out. we cant believe he's actually still sleeping in there. it was horrible, like old feet and ass or something! but the problem is that we cant tell him that we did it because its been going on for so long that we just feel bad about him sleeping in this. he eventually found them but to this day he's on of my best friends but he has NEVER mentioned it. its really ackward. i love it.
