In the Marines me and some other Marines played a prank on the platoon clown who loved to get under everyones skin. Some reason I was his Arch-Nemesis... In Desert Storm before the war started we put sand in his whole Alice Pack,shaving cream all the way up in his boots,and other stuff. I wasn't the only one,but CAN YOU BELIEVE IT ??The Clown of practical jokes couldn't take a joke after he had annoyed the rest of the platoon,but some reason I stuck in his crawl the most.

If you dish it out, you'd better be ready to take it. It's so much fun to get guys like that back.

I didn't participate in this one but I saw it happen multiple times. When I played high school football, the upperclassmen would target a freshman and challenge them to do "power situps". The older kids would hold a towel down over their face while they did situps, with the idea that it added resistance. After a few situps, the fattest lineman would squat over the poor kid's face, butt naked. On the next rep, whoever was holding the towel would pull it off suddenly. You can imagine the nasty result for yourself. Luckily I had older brothers who warned me about this tradition before I ever got there.

when I first started working at our church...I started the tradition of keying up my radio(the janitor crew and front desk all had'm)...and flushing the toilet so everyone heard.
every friday.
so one friday I continued my new signature...then the receptionist chimed in
"guys...a little decorum...the funeral party is here".

but its kinda symbolic if you think about it.

We have done many, too much to type out really. But, I will post one of my favorites......

We were mailbox deviants, bashing and stealing them from the day we could drive up to fresh or sophs in college. My good friend stole a guys mailbox and threw it through the back window of his corvette. Well, he saw him do it and the chase began. We were in an old truck dodging and weaving through town and neighborhoods, yards, whatever was in the way. After about 30 minutes, that guy gave up but we were scared......that lasted for about a week though :D This friend who did this always had a screw loose.

Anyways, our best work was stealing one of our teachers mailbox every weekend for two years. We would take/destroy it and the next weekend a new one would be there. I think it was the 7th or 8th mailbox that we left outside his classroom door just before class. Boy, was he irate :lmao:

His mailboxes became stronger and stronger as the months wore on, eventually leading up to concrete contraptions. However, that didn’t stop us! We filled his box with concrete too a couple of times :laugh:

Long story short, we checked on his mailbox status about 10 years later just to see. We weren’t going to do anything, we grew up since then but he had a P.O. Box and no longer a mailbox :muttley:

I feel bad looking back and I would be mad as well if some punk kids kept doing this to me.


I won’t mention the time that we lined a dark road with stolen pumpkins Halloween night causing a cop to swerve and crash into a ditch :laugh:

Played prank on my math teacher in high school. Four of my buddies and me called his house and left him a message from the state education department that we had reason to believe that there was cheating on last year's state exams and they have narrow the students down to who it was. Informed him that since it was in his class, they were not properly monitored and that there will be consequences not only for the students involved but also for him. Went to the principal the next day and told him about the joke and to have our math teacher come in his office 1st period when we have him for class. We had the principal tell our teacher that he got a call from the state education department regarding the cheating scandal and he will help him in any way possible. Our teacher told us that there was a problem on the board to do while he goes to the office discuss this with the principal. Of course the four us who were involved were concern and he told the class that he receive a call that one or more of us cheated on the state exam last year and he needed to discuss it with the principal. We let him go to the office and then let the class in on the prank. The four of us then went to the principal office to lend our support to our teacher. He was surprised to see us but we told him that we were there to support him in any way. He was thankful but told us we needed to get back to class. We finally let him in on the prank. The funny thing is the superintendent heard about the prank and thought it was good one and wished he was in on it because it was so clever. Til this day whenever I run into my teacher he always brings up the prank we played on him.

A couple of weeks before the start of my senior year, me & a few buddies made a huge papier-mâché replica of the male genetalia (from here forward referred to as "the prank") out of big 18" diameter carpet roll tubes that looked something like this:

and those big bouncy balloons for the round parts and tip:

painted appropriately and black crepe streamers used for hair:

When it was finished, it was over 20 feet long.

We identified the side of the school auditorium as the place we wanted to hang it because everyone had to walk underneath it as they entered the school from the parking lot. Problem was the auditorium was like 50-60 feet off the ground and even when we managed to scale the main roof, it was another 20 feet or so to the top of the auditorium from that roof. So we made several commando runs to figure out how to do it and ended up making ladders out of 2x4's we smuggled & left on the roof. We didn't want the prank to be easily taken down so we identified an alarm bell box on the side of the auditorium that was about 15 feet from the roof and 30-40 feet off the ground so we drilled holes in each end of the carpet tubes and tied twine to pens and stuck the pens in the holes so they would stay in place once the tension pulled them perpendicular to the hole. We had enough slack on the twine so it created a big loop we were able to run a rope under to let us lower the prank down the side of the auditorium until the twine caught on the alarm box and held the prank in place. We even gave it an upward tilt for max effect.

We had everything ready the night before school was to start, ladders were in place and the prank had been set on the roof under a tarp several nights prior to D-day. On the night of the hang, friends were placed at the intersections of all adjacent roads (we had a clear view from the top of the roof of everyone) and set up signals of how to flash the car lights if cop or cars were coming.

Then all me and a buddy had to do was sneak up on the roof (we did it at 2 am), lower the prank in place and show up to school the next day to admire our hard work.

It went flawlessly and it took the principal & his cronies all day to get it down and he was FURIOUS! We called him Spanky and we all hated him, it was hilarious watching him fume up and down the hallway frustrated this had happened on his watch and unable to identify the culprits which he never did.

I took pictures of it but am sick to say I've lost them so all I can do is give you this as an idea of what it looked like

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.

that gave me flash backs to the pranks some crazy guys did in my college dorm.

1. Back when people listened to records, record covers were easy to come by (I wonder how many people have no idea what I'm talking about). Anyway, this one guy would take the record out of the cover, pop it open and fill it with shaving cream and then close it (white still puffed up from being full of shaving cream) and put the end that opens under a closed door of someones room and then jump on top of the record cover which caused the shaving cream to shoot out and into the room, apparently like a fine mist because everyone he did this to ended up having a thin layer of shaving cream over seemingly everything in their room. It was hilarious (as long as you were a recipient)

2. We were on the 3rd floor of the dorm and had phones with long cords that would stretch and coil back into place, so the same guy figured out he could throw the handle/ear piece part out the window and it would spring out and then came crashing into the window below breaking the glass and freaking out whoever was in the room below. Then he'd just (I'm laughing so hard thinking about this, its hard to type) quickly pull up the phone handle, put it back on the base and act like nothing ever happened. Here's a picture of what the phone looked like for you youngins'

lololol, we did something similar and since we all drove trucks, we finally just started saying screw it and popping the curb and mowing down the whole block of mailbox with our trucks

Damn, we had no respect, I'm embarrassed at how much of an *** hole I was, sadly I still can't help but laugh looking back on it all

The movie Dazed and Confused could have been a documentary of my high school experience

this scene reminds me of your story:

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.
