    Default practical jokes

    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!

    Declined Funds
    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.


    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.

    A few years back, I put every clock in the house forward 3 hours before I went to bed.

    The kids were up and ready to go to school, missus was up with them..........took them some time to realise it was only 4.30am.

    They didnt speak to me for ages.

    The quarter on the ground made me recall a program I watched on Human Behaviour.

    They placed an open wallet, showing banknotes, in the middle of a pavement (sidewalk to you Yanks) and drew a yellow circle around it. Many people looked at it but nobody made any attempt to pick it up; even deviating their route to avoid it.

    They then erased the yellow circle - the wallet was stolen in seconds.

    Go figure.

    best prank we'veor should i say kids have pulled

    took a vid of the toilet after we flushed it and even had the cord swining to the light

    when someone (kids m8s) come around and went to the toilet the boys would put the vid and just start to laugh

    the person would walk in look at what they were laughing at on the telly had some red faces when they thought they have been video'd
    Life is serious but taking it too seriously robs you of
    happiness, fun and productivity
