re: What's the best practical joke you've ever played?

I have a bunch but my most recent was pretty good. I was taking my operations VP to a meeting with a client last week and wanted to screw with him. I set him up by talking to him in the car about how we needed to "reset" some of our relationships with certain customers. That the give and take relationships we desire had turned to often into give, give, give. To one sided. So I told him that I had adopted a new approach to dealing with some of them.

I had already rehearsed a script with a buddy who was going to call at exactly 9:15am and act like a customer. Having it all set up, my cell phone rang at 9:15. I looked at the phone and uttered "geez, this guy is the perfect example" I answered and put it on speaker.

Friend: "Hey ______, could you check and see where your trucks are? They were supposed to be here at 8:30 am and I have 5 guys standing around waiting. I can't get in touch with anyone in your dispatch."

Me: " I hear you Rick but before we get into that lets back up a little okay. If I recall correctly we had this same conversation last Thursday and I am pretty sure I told you how we are going to get handle this moving forward. You do remember that conversation, right?"

Friend: "Yeah but I was just hoping you could check for me."

Me: Oh, I see. Let me reiterate what I told you. You must not have understood so let me make it clear again. And I really need you to store this into your memory so we can avoid this little exchange every other day. So here is the deal. I can't tell you when your trucks will get there. The fact is that we will get there when we get there and you and your guys will stand there and wait whether it is 10:00am or 5:00pm. And I am not going to hear a peep out of you again about it the rest of the day or on any days from here on out. That's how we are going to handle this from now on. Are we clear on this?"

Friend: " I guess, if that's how it has to be."

Me: "It is, have a good day Rick."



The look on my colleagues face during this exchange was hilarious. After I hung up he was like "holy shite man! I have never heard anything like that before. He just let you humiliate him and then agreed to it all."

I let him think it was legit until later that day when I let him know it was all set up.

This is pretty funny.

Not really a practical joke, but the best way to piss off whole bowling alley on a Friday night is to play $10 worth of Lou Bega's Mambo Number 5. This was on an old school juke box with 25 cent songs.

I still do this. I will play an entire B Spears album right before I leave a bar.

Put a chicken in a suspended ceiling at an old job I had. It was glorious

Icy hot in the skivvies.

Best joke ever.

I masturbated outside of a woman's house in Metairie before. You should have seen her face!

A friend of mine in high school had VERY conservative uptight parents.

We got into a little scuffle so when I stumbled upon this thing online that was an offer that if you sign up they send you some free lube and nudie mags (this was 15 years ago before porn was 100% internet) I plugged in his name an address.

The kicker was that he was a Jr so I signed up as Jr and left that part off the mailing address so I knew for a fact his dad would open the mail.
