My my so many I dont know where to start. First one that comes to mind is the time one of our co workers bought a new felt hat. He was very prould of that $36 hat. After a few weeks we found out where he bought the hat and bought two, one a size larger and one a size smaller. Every other day we would switch them. Darn nearly drove the guy nuts. He though his head was swelling than though it was shrinking. we finley had to tell him the truth. We took him out to lunch for being a good sport. Another time I took an phone anr removed the wire ans the mike and replaced them with a black hose with a bulb on one end filled with water and the other into the phone with a small brass tube through an enlarged hole in the mouth peace. I replaced the real hand set under a towell. Had somebody ring the phone. When they picked it up I would squeez the bulb and you know what would happen. That phone went all over our plant. Than people wanted to borrow it to take home for partys. Never knew where it ended up.

I think it all started when we tied a dead fish to our canp leaders muffler. I was 12 at the time. We also paddled a boat at night over across the lake to the girls camp and stoled three bathing sutes from the line. And tied them togather, a red one a white one and a blue one. We than ran them up the flag pole. Never got cought.

Part of:

While in college we had a slightly nerdy roommate that was quite blind without his glasses. His bedroom door opened inward. We completely covered his doorway with duct tape, ficked off the circuit breaker, then set off the fire alarm.

Witnessed (but wished I thought of it):

While manager of a pizza shop, we all became good friends with the guys next door at the beer distributor (good guys to be friendly with, huh?). Everyday, one of my cooks would go next door and play the lottery. He would often go on rants of what he'd do when he hits it big. The numbers were chosen on t.v @ 7:00 pm. We had no access to a t.v., so everyday he'd go next door and ask for a printout of the winning numbers. One day, I saw him come running out of the store, jumping & screaming, while ripping off his apron. He came into the store hysterical. Throwing his apron on the ground, screaming "I quit!!!", "I quit!!!" "F*@ck this place, f*@ck this town. I'm outa here!!!!" This went of for 2 or 3 minutes. Suddenly, I saw the guys from the beer distributor slowly creep around and look into the window. They were laughing hard. I said as I pointed out the window, "You may want to go talk to them before you quit your job, and say something you might regret."

As it turns out, if you hit the "reprint" button on the lottery machine, it will print out a copy of the last set of numbers played. Earlier when my co-worker played his numbers, they hit the "reprint" button when he walked out the door. When he came back later for a printout of the winning numbers, they printed them out, but handed him the reprint of his own numbers. He went from broke, to a millionaire, to broke again in a matter of a few moments.

I looked at him and said, "Pick up your apron, and answer the phone." It was amazing to witness, but if I'd have been the victim, I can't guarantee someone wouldn't get hurt.

At Fort Sill we had finished our training, as we waited for the buss we saw the training NCO's VW parked in front of the barracks. a bunch of us carried it and placed it between two trees then we got on the bus and left.

would have loved to see the look on his face when he saw that and often wondered how he got it out from between the two trees.

Back in 80’s a friend of a friend couple were getting married, so my friend decided to give them a wedding gift. In a huge box he collected hundred of cans of various food items, gift-wraps the huge heavy box and presented them, everyone was anxious & curious as to what was in the heavy box.

Later we all found out about the can-food prank, the punch line was: They had to use one mystery can a day because all the labels were peeled off.

Before going into the Air Force, I worked at the Chamberlain Army Ammunition plant in Scranton, PA. One day, while working the press for the nose of an eight inch shell, I got a sliver of metal in my finger and couldn't get it out. My uncle, who also worked there, recommended that I go to the nurse and ask if I could soak it in cider. At least that's what I thought he meant; I was almost to the nurse's office when I realized what he really meant. As I stormed back to the press, I could hear them laughing hysterically from a good distance away.

When I was in highschool, my locker was very near the chemistry teacher's room. I was an amature chemist and one day I brought the makings of hydrogen sulfide gas with me, mixed them and put the concoction in my locker. This is the "rotten egg" smelling stuff and also the gas that produces the smell in farts, I learned recently. All day long people were asking the chemistry teacher what he was making.

We done that in high school. but we put it in the schools ventilation system. they had to evactuate the whole school. They never did find out who done the dirty deed. We wanted to brag about it but for fear of suspention we had to keep it to ourselves.

When i was a kid, living at home, both my parents had full uppers. (false teeth.) Both had their uppers soaking in a glass, one for my father and one for my mother. One morning after brushing my own teeth, i looked at the two glasses and just took out both the plates and switched them. Mom came in and cleaned her plate, and proceeded to put them in her mouth. All of a sudden she yelled out, "Harry! (my fathers name) something is wrong. They dont fit!!!!! We have to go to the dentist right now!!!!!" By that time, i had told my father what i had done and we were both laughing hysterically. Mom finally figured it out...I didnt get spanked, but mom was just a little angry at me.....But it was funny at the time.
