Best Prank Ever Pulled?

I'm fond of replacing people's hand sanitizer with KY lube...

I pretended to be an insurance agent after my mother backed into someones car. I called her on a work phone a few days after the incident and told her that the person she backed into complained that she smelled like a brewery (she does not drink). I told her that I would be notifying the authorities and that she needed to admit she was drunk. It went on for about 5-10 minutes with her eventually handing my dad the phone. They both got very heated about it to the point where my dad wasn't even listening to me when I kept telling him it was me.

Knew a Staff Sergeant who pulled a lame prank on another Staff Sergeant.
He waited five months before getting him back by putting his house up for sale.
He took pictures of the house and created a professional looking ad. He then posted it in all the local newspapers, online, and hung flyers around the neighborhood on poles and community mailboxes.
People were stopping by daily and the Sergeant's phone rang for weeks. The hopeful buyers were pissed and often confused when told the house was not actually for sale.
He thought he'd removed all the ads, but people kept coming. He had to ask where they saw the ad and then run around to various bars, churches, Costco, Sams, PetSmart, etc. to remove them from bulletin boards.
He ended up having to change his phone numbers, and no one ever messed with the guy again.

When stationed in England, you had to ensure your dorm room was always secure.
The running prank was to catch a number of Muscovy ducks and leave them in someone's room for the day/weekend/week.

One Airman received an Article 15 for animal abuse or some such. He dipped bread in Vodka and fed it to the ducks until they were too drunk to fly. I must admit it was hilarious watching them attempt to get off the ground.

Drive 2 16D nails in the ridge beam of a roof, one on each end. Stretch .016 piano wire from one nail to the other, making sure it is nice and tight.


Random CL/Rocky Mountain Oyster ads with your marks contact info.


Pull the cotter pins from the front end of the marks Jeep followed by a liberal application of Liquid Wrench. Allow time to take its course.

Crimp front brake lines with electrical crimping pliers. Don't crimp them completely. It allows the brakes to work in normal circumstances but effectively kills them for a panic stop.

Tape a few washers to a driveshaft.

Pull off wheel weights.


I can neither confirm nor deny any such activity ever occurred and had it occurred I would not be at liberty to discuss such hypothetical scenarios.

I think the attempted murder thread is on another board...

The towing business was not a gentleman's game Stu, you play for keeps.

Don't know if this counts as a prank, but..


I my younger days I used to live outside of SFO. We had a friend going off to join the military so we all took him out for a goodbye outing. Our friend was a *very* handsome young man who had played football in college and had modeled in his recent days. After some drinking we found ourselves walking in the Castro and ended up outside a very happening bar that catered to the leather chap wearing crowd - and our friend was a tad bit homophobic. Long story short, there was a little mom/pop grocery store nearby and one of us snuck in and bought them out of saran wrap. We then proceed to hold down our friend and strip him down to his tighty-whiteys -- and saran wrapped him to the light pole outside of the club.


Much hilarity ensued - especially when the club goers got involved. He was there for a good 45 minutes before some bike cops came by and made us take him down.

For you office cubicle types, nothing like slightly opening a can of tuna and putting it behind a drawer in someone's desk.

What?! All the tow truck drivers I ever encountered were nothing but gentlemen of the highest degree.
