Here's a prank a friend and I played on another friend in college. My first friend, Jade, was from Hawaii, as was I. I lived on the Island of Oahu for my Junior High and High School years. Jade was from Maui. As you may know, almost all the street names in Hawaii are Hawaiian words. For example, I lived on a street named Polihale. So living there, you learn a bunch of street names whose meanings you usually don't know. So Jade and I decided to play a prank on June who wasn't from there. This was in California. We told her we learned to speak Hawaiian in school. So we just recited street names to each other, pretending like we were speaking in Hawaiian. She was like, "Wow, cool, looks like you guys learned it really well." After we left, I admitted to June that we were really just saying the names of streets, and she had a good laugh. She was a great sport about it.

Your turn. Any pranks you played?

I took a dead cat from a biology class and put a rope around its neck. We were on the second story so I swung the cat from the second story window - I could hear the class below screaming. 5 day suspension.

My senior year of high school, there was a keg party at a place called Cady Camp, which was just a big clearing in the woods.

A friend of mine had a Filipino girl exchange student staying with her, and she was at the party. I'd never met this girl, and my friend brought her over to me and said, "Everyone's been telling her there are lions and bears in the woods. Would you tell her they're just kidding?"

I said, "No, of course there aren't. The worst thing you have to worry about here are gorillas, but they're very rare."

I told my friend to let me know if she brings the girl into the woods to go to the bathroom, which she did, a short time later.

I sneaked up into the woods and made gorilla sounds (Very authentic sounding, FYI.) to see if she'd get nervous, and apparently that's an understatement.

She ran out of the woods without even pulling her pants up, and I'm told she fell down twice.

When she and my friend were telling me the story, I asked, "Did it sound like this?", and made the noises. She said, "Yeah, it sounded exactly like that!!"

It took me repeating it three times before she caught on, and about an hour before she laughed about it.

I worked at a small country club for most of my life as a golf pro. It was seriously like working at Caddyshack and were some of the best times of my life. We had massive parties on the course, stole booze from the club house, trashed golf carts, skinny dipped in water hazards, and constantly played pranks.
We had a new kid working for us and I had a golf cart parked at the top of the first hole which was a big elevated tee box. I took a golf club shaft and cut off about 4 inches of it and wedged it under the brake peddle of the golf cart. We then asked the kid to go run an errand in the cart. Man we were all watching this poor kid go screaming down the hill with both feet on the peddle standing on it trying to get it to go down. Finally he cuts the wheel a little and flips the cart. It skinned him up pretty good and dumped a bunch of batteries on his back but he lived. I felt bad about that one and he was pissed.

We also had a problem with nutria tearing up our greens for a while. The superintendent and I would go out in the evenings and hunt them on occasion, but we also set live traps. One night after having a few to many we ran traps and had caught two. We thought it would be funny to release them in the club house to let the wait staff and cooks deal with them the next day, so we did. The funny thing was we never heard one word about it. Nobody ever saw them or said a word about it. Either they found a way out or they're living the fat life at the C.C.

Not high school, but i have two bachelor party pranks/damn i can't believe anybody would ever do that to someone incidents.

First, groom at stag party gets very drunk and passes out (never do this kids), his 'friends' strip him naked tie him to a tree in the front yard of his bride to be's family (it's about 3 in the morning), ring the doorbell multiple times and book. I don't think i need to enhance this story further.

Then the pièce de résistance, groom at stag party gets very drunk and passes out (i must reemphasize kids, don't do this), his 'friends' drive him to a train station where they purchase a compartment for him. Everyone is laughing and joking as the conductor helps them get the semi conscious laughing stumbling groom into his cabin. They take all his clothes, close the door and leave.
Six hours later groom awakens in a haze to find that the train is about halfway to Montreal.. and he is naked. This predates cell phones of course. It's Saturday morning, he's due to be married Sunday afternoon.

Kids used to kick boys in the back of the knee while at the urinal so they pissed on themselves. Dumping water on someone taking a deuce in the bathroom. Unzipping someone's backpack just enough while walking so all their books eventually dump out. A decent one we did in middle school was move our nuns desk from the second floor to outside in the courtyard. She showed up and had no desk to sit behind...deep level stuff lol but her expression was priceless.

Wow, two of you, both very intelligent, made the same mistake. I have to assume autocorrect's default setting is "statue".

One of the best ones I have partaked in involved gas, a foreign exchange student, some gymnasium bleachers and a gym teacher who even let out a chuckle. :muttley::muttley:

In college pranks wars were very common, a lot of creative pranks, some kinda mean, they were funny though. A common prank was removing the pins from the door hinges, so when you open the door it crashes to the ground. Had that one done to me, except I came home drunk and leaned on the door and went crashing with it. A similar prank was to remove the bolts on the bed and replace with wooden pencils, strong enough to hold the bed together, but collapsed when someone sat on it.

One played on me was kinda cool, I came back from Xmas Break and my dorm room was completely filled waist high with crumpled newspaper. My suitemates and a couple friends had gone around town getting all the papers from machines and crumpled them all up. It was kinda cool, we all got drunk and jumping around in it like a poor man's ball pit.

One of our buddies had left for the weekend and we took everything, every single thing, out of his dorm room and set it all back up on the other side of the dorm, outside, exactly how the room was setup.
