It's really early, but have fun!!! Tell about pranks you or someone you know have pulled off. (or attempted in some cases)

A couple of years ago I went on to a university student website forum pretending to be a civil servant in the Treasury Dept. I said I was disgusted by what the government were about to do and wanted to make it public. I said they intended to drastically reduce all student loans and that they would have to be paid back in no more than 2 years after graduation.

Oh boy - did those students get freaked or what!  []

Working on gold property near Las Vegas.  Slipped a woman's thong and bra into his suitcase as he flew home on April Fool's Day.  His wife almost divorced him and still won't talk to me (I eventually fessed up).

That was a little too extreme.

A classic from 1957 that I have never seen till now. []

One that was popular at work when I was young; giving someone a slip of paper with the telephone number of London Zoo on and saying they must phone back an speak to Mr. Lion.

Yes, I was young and stupid once! [:I]

New to all forum thingamajigs so be gentle with me.

I used to work in a lab and took great delight in sowing up the cuffs of peoples lab coats. All these boffs trying to get their arms in their sleeves and failing was too much. []

A good trick is cut out a pistol shape out of 12 guage steel and place it in somebodies book. It's quite funny when they get to airport security.

Ringing a switchboard and asking for a made up name to be announced over the tannoy is always fun.

Ring up the switchboard and ask them to tannoy yourself, make no attempt to disguise your voice.

When I owned my restaurant, my brother disguised his voice with a poor German accent and called one of the waitress and said "I'm looking for my mother.  Her name is Imagene Dumchick. Could you see if she's there? Just call her Ima and her last name is Dumbchick"

This poor waitress stood in the middle of the restaurant and yelled out "I'm a dumb chick" three times before she realized what was going on.

Sorry Doctor Beaver. It wasn't your lab coat was it?
The other trick  my best friend played was to send a message to all the top scientists, from health and safety, saying that their gas powered office chairs (the ones that adjust height not propel them along) where faulty and that they might explode. They had to either lock them in a cupboard putting a sign on the door saying danger exploding chair or if they couldn't find a cupboard they had to wear shin pads and a crash hat whilst sitting on the chair. One man did actually lock his chair up.

[DoctorBeaver]

No, it wasn't. I've only ever worn a lab coat once and that was when I was visiting an alien establishment (Oxford university).

I've got a friend who lectures at Oxford. He is ultra intelligent and on a different plain to most people. His kids don't share his intellect and are very sporty. On showing us around all the different colleges he announced "And over their is All Souls."
His son looked astonished and replied "Paul scholls, where?"

[Make it Lady]
