I worked in a hospital a long time ago. The morgue was a prime place to pull practical jokes, and we did.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to regret this, but... . Please Eric tell us more :D
 
On older cars/trucks with the hood latch on the outside , Take a small piece of #14 ga wire and use the factory plugs to run it from the horn to either one of the headlights . My high school auto shop teacher did not find the humor in it for a couple of days.

Another one that worked on the "know it all" in my class was a 3/8 " bolt about 1 1/2 in long taped to the drive shaft . Man you talk about one annoying vibration .

You know, someone lying there on a gurney dead. The ahhh subject walks into the room, and the dead person is now alive. :-laf :-laf

It's been done a million times, but still works.

To mess with one our supervisors at work we replaced the ballast resister on his 70 Plymouth with an electronic flasher.

You could hear him start it and it would die. Then he held his foot down it started, revved up and died but before it quit spinning it would relight. it would rev up again and die...

Another time we his office was a temp building on a skid set inside the shop. We put a 1" nut under the center beam on the floor. Then when we went in to talk to him we stand over the balance point and rock the office. He would get sea sick.
 
I worked in an auto supply years ago... We used to charge up a capacitor and set it on the counter waiting for one of the local mechanics to come in and fiddle with it... That was good for a giggle. .

And who didn't do the patato(e) in the exhaust trick... or the M-80 down the toilet bowl at school...come on now we also had this guy in scholl who could &*JJ*){_)#@E&*BENJNM

at the drop of the hat...



But thats another story. .

Back in my High School Ag Shop days, we used to wait until a Freshman was learning to weld... he'd be bent over a welding table, concentrating mightily on trying to get his bead to go straight and somebody would heat up a 1/2" nut to cherry red and pick it up with a pair of pliers and place it on the toe of the guy's shoe. Most guys wouldn't see anything but would feel the heat and kick it off pretty quickly.
 
Did this one in college. Take a condom and fill it with water. But you must have the condom on a towel to hold the weight. It holds about 3 gals. Take it over to a guy's bed and roll it off. When he tries to pick it up to remove it, he naturally does it without the towel. Sploosh!!
 
Attaching a whistling, smoking, bomb to the spark plugs on this workers old Buick.



Next time he was using his car he checked under the hood before cranking. He didn't see the wire running from the spark plug through the firewall and under his seat. He abandoned the vehicle as it was rolling down the road.



Another time placed a hydraulic bottle jack under the rear axle. He thought he needed more fluid to make the car go. Had to pull up the floorboard cover, open the filler plug and pour some in. Didn't help though.
 
I've done the zip tie trick



In the college dorm we had suites of rooms (two rooms with a bath between them). I talked the guys in one room into letting me go through to the other room where I stuffed a sheet of cardboard over the entrance door. I piled a bunch of coke cans on top of the cardboard and waited for the guys from that room, who were out getting drunk, to return. At about 3am there was a load crash. The next morning, I heard that the RA nailed them for drunkeness and excessive noise. Those guys wouldn't talk to me for the rest of the semester.



Another trick to replace the smoke bomb on the plug wire is to fill a windshield washer fluid jug with oxy/acetalene, with a grounded spark plug fitted into a hole in the cap. This is a trick for the very carefull though, since an improper set-up might hurt someone.



We used to do the charged capacitor trick in the early days.



Just before dinner tonight, I washed my hands at the kitchen sink and grabbed for to towel and knocked over a big bottle of olive oil. Much to my surprise, the cap was not on the bottle and half of the olive oil dumped all over the stove and floor before I realized what happend. Mrs Doc still claims it wasn't a joke she was pulling on me. :eek:

College dormmate was an ***hole- we emptied his Baby Shampoo half-way and refilled it with u****- he didn't understand why we called him ***head that semester- we became very adept at hitting select faculty entering our building from six floors up with cold pizza slices- would land like a hat on ones bald head-also filling a fifty gallon garbage can with water, beer and garbage and leaning it against the door of another ***hole and knocking makes for a great sound- finally placing a ketchup packet under a door and stomping on it tends to redecorate ones room very quickly- there were others but I have the right to remain silent on those!!!!!!!!
 
I’m am dating myself here but back in my college days, an effective dormitory offensive was to empty a can of soup into an LP album cover. Placing the cover opening under the small gap in an enemy’s door and jumping on it would squirt the soup 20 feet into the room. The best part about this trick is if no one is home, retaliation was difficult.
 
Used to work with heavy equipment. Taking a glob of dirty excess grease from the fittings and put it on the control sticks of a Cat or under the steering wheel of a truck was always good.



While repairing a truck tire one day, one of my coworkers lit a cherry bomb and placed it behind me. Had to change the jocky's over that one.
 
We used to penny people into their dorm rooms. Jam pennies in the door jamb until it's tight and the door can't open. Worked especially well on that little ****-ant R. A. we had. :D
 
One of my favorites from college. Get 3 bails of shreded paper from the local bank. Get into the room and open the bails. Covers the average doorm room knee deep in paper.



Cover the outside of the door from floor to just short of the top with something (paper, plastic, etc. ). Fill the space between the door and cover with small things (popcorn, styrofoam peanuts, shreded paper, etc). Knock. Enjoy.
