That's a good one, never heard of that!

I love the classic turn everything on in the car, radio, wipers, heat, blinker, etc, but it doesn't work so well in the new cars. We used to do this to a couple of police cars back in the day (we were very good friends with, I don't recommend trying that) and we would get them good.

Oh my gosh, I am pregnant and at the last family gathering, my neices and nephew thought it would be funny to put soap on the toilet seat. Well, being pregant, I was the one who needed to go potty. I fell in! They got in a lot of trouble, but I am going to soap the seat at the next family gathering!

Oh I have a good one!

When I got married, my hubby was one of 6 boys, and the first to get married. His mother innitiated me by pouring a box of Rice Krispies into my suitcase. LOL So, it became a tradition to prank the new wife.

When hubby's brother got married, they left a set of keys with my mother-n-law to water the plants. he he We went over there and removed the labels off of about 20 cans of soup and veggies! LOL They didn't know what they were having for dinner for a month!

My Old Boss loved playing jokes on us around the store. He would put a rubber snake in the stock room and it would just about scare us to death. Well one day he went in the stock room to move some boxes and saw WHAT HE THOUGHT was the tail of the rubber snake, went to pull it out and IT WAS A REAL SNAKE!!! Needless to say, the rubber snake made it to the trash real fast. I have never seen that man so freaked out. I thought it was hilarous since it seemed like I was always the one that would find that rubber snake.

I had read about something similar and decided to pull this on my sweet elderly Auntie. When we were visiting her at her winter home in Florida I "borrowed" her little garden statue. Ok it was a gnome.
Brought it home and took pictures of it around our house with our family. Started a photo album with the pics and packaged up the book and gnome and sent them to my sister in another state. She did the same, passing it on to another family member.
Two months later Auntie got her gnome back with the photo album of his vacation.
She thought that was a great joke.

We did the same thing but with pink flamingos. It started with my sis and bil, they had taken them down to my parents house in Florida....couple of months later the flamingos were back at their house. They came to visit us that summer and after they left we found 'em. Soooo, our next trip to Florida they tagged along and went back to my parents. I believe they are at my sister's now waiting for their next home.

One our favorites as a kid was to take the sprayer in the kitchen and either tape it down or use a rubber band so the next person to turn on the tap got sprayed. We also put saran wrap over the toilet bowl/under the seat but that is not fun to clean up. I just thought of another, we vaselined the toilet seat or switched out the sugar and salt. We also put things in each others sheets .... a snake was the worst. Oh, and those popping fireworks that had strings, we tied those to everything . We put those cigarette loads in anyones cigarettes or cigars that smoked so it would blow the ends off. I wonder if they still make those. I am sure I will think of more in a bit.


Can you tell I had brothers


thought of another favorite. Injecting just about anything with hot sauce. Filled choclates of victims favorite types like milkyway etc, raisins, cakes. If you are really good you can inject it through a sealed wrapper.

We used to do this! My mom had a meat marinating set that had a thin injector with it..never used for meat but used for lots of other things! If you inject under the seal flap on the bottom of the candy bar the person will never see it. One time my sis and I did this to my BIL. The only thing they had that would "inject" was strawberry preserves so we used that and injected it into a Milky Way (or a 3 Musketeers...forget which). It was a real surprise for my BIL, but he thought it was delicious! LOL

One of the neatest pranks I have ever heard of was done by my nephew on his mom. It went on for the better part of a year. She has been teased by her two sons for years about what a bad cook she is and that was supposed to be the theme at first. Send recipes or postcards. But it grew and grew.

My SIL was pranked by her son back in 2003. It was such a neat prank that she made it onto the front page of the Mother's Day edition of the St. Louis Post Dispatch and was also on several radio shows via phone around the country.

He runs a web site and posted this on the site. He asked people who came to the site to send his mom post cards and not let them know how they knew about her. She got, I think, over a 1000 post cards from all over the country and even a few from out of the country. The typical card would have a message like, "Hi there, we really enjoyed the picnic last week at Uncle Bob's. Hope you had a good time also." Others might report on the new baby and how much she favored my SIL. Many were full length letters bringing her up to date on all the family comings and goings, including in some cases photos. Or some would send little gifts. She got souvenirs from their travels, invitations to parties, (with no time, date or address mentioned), and of course family reunions. Almost none had return addresses. But one did, a wedding invitation, and she ended up attending it.

She and my brother were totally befuddled for a long time. They kept accusing me of being behind it somehow. Everyday the mail man would have another stack of mail for her. She is rather quiet and unassuming and had more fun with the prank. My brother finally figured it out but wouldn't tell her. She was receiving things for a long long time.

In my late teens I worked at an auto parts store and one day we shrink wrapped our managers entire car using the big rolls we used to shrink wrap pallets of parts. It was hysterical when he went out and his little Chevette was completely covered with a big old bow on top.

Several jobs have afforded me the opportunity to instigate several practical jokes:

At the 911 center we had to shred everything that was printed (privacy laws and such)--we'd have HUGE bags of shredded material. Several of the deputies ended up with the bags in their car--Opened of course

KY on the door handles and toilet seats at the ambulance stations where I worked. Also because we worked 48 hour shifts, it was not unusual to have underwear and shoes in the freezer, or turn off all the hot water to the shower...
In a male dominated enviroment practical jokes ran rampant....

ok I have to put my 2 cents worth in!
we were staff at a camp and took boiling water and desolved knox gelatin in it! lots of it! and poured it in to the toilet bowl and boy did it jell up!

we were dismantling an old out building of our 125 year old church, it was made of brick, well my brother kept a brick and it proceeded to turn up every where and if you recieved the brick you had to find a way to pass it on!
I frosted and decorated it as a birthday cake! one friend had it in his suit case when he wen on vacation! this went on for years until about 10 years ago he brick disappeared not o be found again!

My brother and I are only 2 years apart and we used to put soap on each others toothbrush. I have to say that even to this day I have to rinse off my toothbrush every time I use it.

Nope. I'm probably the type people would play jokes on if they thought it safe I HATE practical jokes but luckily, my friends and family know that revenge is in my blood (just not to the tune of jokes) so they don't do them...

I love to laugh!

Take someone's preset dialing buttons on their phone available for speed dial and set them all to "dial a bedtime story" or "dial a prayer" if you know it won't offend someone's religion. or even Time and temp!

LOL,

My hubby falls for this one all the time. I put a small rubberband on the sprayer hose at the kitchen sink to hold it on and place it back down and aim it forward. I then tell my sweet hubby that I'm too tired to do dishes and ask him to do it. When he turns on the water the sprayer sprays him. He falls for it about once a year.

My sil's father is quite a prankster. So during one of father's trips to Canada, my sil and his uncle thought it was time for pay backs.
They went into father and mother's house and turned all the furnature upside down, stripped all the bedding off the beds, did the saran wrap thing to the toilet stool and a few other things I don't recall at the moment. But the grand fanale was in the garage. My sil works in the city's radio shop, installing equiptment in the police cars. He brought home an old siren and installed it in his dad's van that was sitting in the garage. He installed it in such a way that the minute the engine was started the siren activated. Needless to say, father was a little put out because this time he was outdone.

Another time sil was dubbed the "sign bandit". It even made the morning talk show on the radio.
He went around changing the wording on signs at a number of different places. I can't say on here what the signs ended up saying, anymore than to say they were definitely eye catching.

I have 3 sons-in-law who are pranksters and 2 adult grandsons who follow in their dad's footsteps. So we never know what to expect and when.
