Ok I need a really brilliant idea for a practical joke. There seem to be a few pranksters on this board. What stuff have you pulled that I can borrow? This is to be pulled on a fellow who put an ad in the paper to drop used X-mas trees off on a friends lawn for recylcling.

Find a gay rights/magazine website. Sign him up. He'll be getting that stuff in his mailbox for years.
Is he married? Have a female call, crying telling him the test came up positive. Or, have someone call & leave a message from the local free clinic. Make sure it says something about getting his test results back & he needs to call immediately. Ask if he's had any sores develop yet.
Sign him up for a personal ad. Something seeking very large females. Groups of large females very welcome. Transexuals ok, very large transvestites eagerly anticipated.
I can go on, but need more info on this person to work with.

Make up a bumper sticker that says: I HATE Western Beef...Love K.D. Lang's Music!
In any western province, that should do it!
Another one you could make up is: Support Your Local Police... BRIBE A COP!
That one will get him pulled over by EVERY officer that spots it.

Show up at his house late at night with some vaseline and smear that crap all over his vehicle's windows.. when he gets in his car/truck in the morning to take off he'll have a nice mess to clean up.
Along Kissy's idea... plaster rainbow stickers all over his car.
Wrap his entire car up in bubblewrap or clear plastic food wrap (use the food service size roll)
Get into his house somehow and stretch clear plastic wrap over the toilet bowl(s).. it's quite difficult to see in the morning when you just woke up and your eyes arent working right yet.

Mike, I forgot. Instead of plastic wrap, get 2 industrial size rolls of shrink wrap & a few rolls of duct tape. Have 1 person working all over the vehicle with the shrink wrap & 1 or 2 people, each with a roll of duct tape going at it too. Don't follow each other, keep criss-crossing. I know for a fact it takes 4 laborers & 3 hours to remove, if properly done.
If you can get in his house when he's not there, get the cans of spray packing foam. You spray & it swells to fill the gap. Open EVERY cupboard door and start spraying.
If you can get in his truck, also vaseline the gas pedal and gear shifter. If it's a standard, vaseline the e-brake release too.
Does he wear hats? If so, get some bluing stuff millwrights use and apply to just inside the brim. I swear, you have to burn it off your skin.

A guy I used to work with was a billboard painter. When he worked at a large billboard company he would paint the toilet seat white and wait for somebody to get stuck to it.

Chris is down right evil...She scares me! Worse thing I did was convince a naive yokel that he was required by law to wear a condom on his first ever tandem skydive. Hook, sinker, and line he did. And 300 skydivers all knew about it.
Oh and the time I woke my brother at 3:00a.m. pretending to be the town police and notifying him his van was found off the end of the town dock.
Oh and the other time...........

This is fun, keep them coming. Years ago my father had an on going battle with the cook at his oil drilling camp. She had a private bathroom so he smeared her toilet seat with honey and unscrewed the light bulb. She got even by serving him chocolate eclairs with shaving cream instead of whipped cream. The cook had a old wringer washer that she did her laundry in. On wash day he poured a 20 lb bag of oatmeal into her undies load. I used to love listening to Dad tell stories about the pranks he played.

Rubber snakes are always a favorite. I put one in a co-worker's desk once......he was such an ultra-cool dude that I didn't expect him to totally freak out. First he slammed the drawer and almost flipped over backwards, all in one move. Then he screamed expletives while shaking uncontrollably.
After i got over MY shock..I never did that again. He could have killed himself.
Be careful with those practical jokes. they can be dangerous.

My favorite requires access to his car's gas tank.
Add a gallon of gasoline each night to his tank for about two weeks. Keep it up until he is becoming insufferable about the great gas mileage he's getting.
Next shift to siphoning off a gallon a night and watch him running to his mechanic trying to fix whatever is wrong now that his MPG has gone over 100 to less than 10.

When nobody's home, go to his house with a bunch of keys. Any old keys, preferably small ones. With a metal saw, cut halfway thru the blades, maybe half an inch from the tips. Jam them into all the locks, break them off, and leave.
Mail a wedding announcement to the local paper.
Some nifty tricks were listed 20 yrs ago in a series by "George Hayduke" starting with _Don't Get Mad, Get Even_. I think "Hayduke" published a couple of my discourtesies, but he said he knew nothing of Edward Abbey's hero in _The Monkey Wrench Gang_.

At one of the body shops I do work for some of the guys laced the coffe pot with a ton of laxatives, they placed work boots with work pants draped over them in all the stalls, locked the privy doors and climbed out under the doors. The rest of the guys spent all day running across the street, in heavy traffic, to Buger King to use the can.

And you guys think I'm evil? Like I told Mike last night, I don't have a vendetta, I have experience.
George, I want to meet these guys. We could work well together.

You're in the sign biz so how about a decal on the back of his car without him knowing? "Deaf driver, please HONK to pass." How about an I (heart) FORD if he drives a GM? Or advertise some silly sport you know he'd have nothing to do with. "I live to bathtub race!" Sky's the limit here.
One of the oldest jokes of all time... confetti. Get into his house and open every towel, sock drawer, etc remembering to refold everything perfectly. That stuff will be in his house forever.

Don't stop now folks! Here is another one of Dad's Pranks. One Christmas season Dad went to visit a fellow who lived in a yard right next to the highway. A few drinks later Dad had convinced him to go along with his plan. Late the next afternoon they strung Christmas lights two thirds of the way across the front of his building. They then left the rest of the lights trailing to the ground. They made a stuffed dummy from a pair of coveralls, a toque, work gloves, boots etc and suspended him by one arm from the eavestroughs. The finishing touch was to lay a ladder against the house about half way down. Dad and his cohert then plugged in the Christmas lights and retired to the living room with a Christmas bottle and proceeded to watch the fun out the picture window. There weren't many travellers that passed by that stretch of road without making a detour into the yard that day .

When I worked in a large office environment I had a favourite prank I used to play. At he end of the day I would get on someone's computor, put in one of those marquee screen savers with a password. The marquee generally was 'unfavourable' for this worker (something about his mother and army boots or worse). Since I was not going to be there the next day, I would instruct someone close to this person to answer this persons question with the phrase ('F$@# Off'). This person would have no idea why, but they would do as instructed. The following day the person would be working at his desk, and low and behold the screensaver would come on. They could not get rid of the screen saver because of the password. Since they could get no work done, they would have to figure out how to get rid of the screen saver, and ultimately have to ask for help. They invariably would ask the person whom I gave specific instructions to. The converation would go like this: Q.How do I get rid of this screen saver? A.F$#%- OFF! Q.How do I get rid of this screen saver? A.F$#%- OFF! Q.Quit being a jerk. How do I get rid of this screen saver, there is a password on it and I need to know what it is?!? A.(slower this time)F$#%- OFF! At this point the light bulb would go on and the person would type in the password 'F$#%- OFF' Problem solved.
It's great when neither one of them see it coming but put it together finally.
Another one was (same place) is we had to wear hardhats when visiting the job sites. One of the guys got a new hat and proudly put on decals on both sides 'Planner / Estimator'. A week later I applied look alike decals 'Planner / Masterbator'. He wore it for about a week, went to all the job sites, talked to a lot of customers and workers, got plenty of grins and giggles before he figured it out.
A fried of mine had the cab pick up truck filled to the brim with pop-corn. Couple of his neighbours spent a week popping corn with a hot air popper. He was very late to work that day, and he smelled real good.
Another involved using duct tape to tape a fresh herring to the underside of a shelve in someone's locker. That stink lasted for weeks.
Another easy one is tie a nut on one end of a piece of string about 15" long, and a few knots on the other end. Slip the nut between the rubber of a rear door window on their car and slide in all the string right to the knot. The knot will prevent the string from falling in the whole way. When the person drives around, the nut dangling from teh string invariably stikes something making faint sounds. This should drive them nuts, especially if you do it only on certain days of the week. Imagine them going to the mechanic explaining the noise and the fact that the noise ussually comes when rounding a corner on a Monday or a Friday.

Go into his house, whilst having coffee or something... tape a raw shrimp to the underside of his dining room table, or slip into the bottom tab of drapes. He will go crazy trying to find out what the smell is, especially on a hot hot day.
Go in, and ask to use the bathroom. Unscrew the shower head, and crush stock powder or red powdered paint/dye onto the showerhead before replacing. That red stuff can take forever to get out.
Make him a dog food sandwich when he comes over... tell him it is an imported spread. He'll never know the difference until after you tell him.
If he gets a cut, tell him that lime juice is the best thing to use on it... Watch him scream.
Salt in the sugar bowl. Never ceases to be amusing. Same goes for soy sauce instead of sarsparella if they don't have a great sense of smell.
The confetti idea earlier was ok... but do you know what is worse? Glitter. I swear, that stuff never leaves your house... or you. Get the fine stuff, the stuff that sticks to everything, including you. Sprinkle it alllll through the bed. Glitter on guys isn't generally a good look *laughs*
Chilli in his jocks... Or, if he doesn't have a great sense of smell try soaking them in peppermint oil... that stuff (apparently) burns.
Call a dominatrix and organise an appointment for him. At his place. Whilst his girlfriend is over. Fun fun fun for everyone.
Hmmmm.. that's all I can think of right now... I'm sure that I'll be able to think of more later... *grin*

Okay, it's not as much a practical joke as it is a method of revenge on somebody but Skunk Oil scent masking from hunting stores can be loads of fun. Put it in air conditioner vents in the car, on clothes at the gym, on an office chair.
If you really want to be cruel wait until winter and put it on a radiatior. Something about the combination of skunk scent and heat has been known to have an entire high school dismissed for three days but of course I know nothing about that.
A fish or shrimp placed under the car seat works pretty well too.

Borrow a cop or firemans roof light, wait for your buddies to leave the bar or party and pull 'em over, lots of fun. Be sure to have the highbeams on and have a bright flashlight to keep them blinded while you approach the car.

Try this one... slip a few laxitives in his coffee, at work, get his friends together and fill up some buckets, secretly. Wait till he has to run to the toilet, then sound the fire alarm, after lighting a paper bag and rolling it into the bottom of his stall. Then get everyone to throw the water over the stall (and over him...) to put out the 'fire' *grin*
One of the 'anti-shoplifting' strips or pins on the inside of their jacket... *grin*
If they work in an office... call them. "This is the phone company. We are testing a new circuit wiring scheme in your offices. Please keep everyone off the phones for the next 10 minutes. We will be verifying the correct wiring of your system by passing HOT STEAM through the wires. Instruct your employees to place their phones on the floor, or, better yet, wrap them in towels to avoid scalding themselves. We will advise you when the tests are complete *click*" Watch this one go down... I have heard that it is quite funny.
Empty salt ( or pepper) from a previously 'acquired' container and fill about 1/3 full with concentrated lemon juice. Place a thin tissue across the opening, poke it down a bit to form a depression, and fill the depression with about a teaspoon of baking soda. Cover (from the inside) the holes of the top with tape of the appropriate color. Replace top on container and trim visible tissue from around the top. Carry the device to dining hall (upright and as stable as is possible... for your own sake).
After discretely placing the shaker on your table (only place it near to you... see caveat #1 below), observe the next person to use the salt (pepper). (S)He will shake lightly at first, then harder as nothing comes out. Due to the breakdown of the tissue and the pressure resulting from the classic acid/base reaction, the top will pop off (quite spectacularly) amidst a shower of foam. Your victim (as will as everyone around) should have quite a reaction, since one does not usually observe this type of behavior in a salt (pepper) shaker! - I actually have done this one... it is hilarious.
Iodine cristals and some amonium hydroxide. Mix the two together and a brown sludge will form. Drain off the excess liquid and let the sludge dry. The result? Snap powder, a pressure sensitive explosive. Just sprinkle this on the floor and watch people's reactions.
Replace his shampoo with hair remover. (yes, yes, this one is evil.. but so I am told, very very very funny)
Does the person that you want to get even with drink red wine? If so, have I got one for you! Get yourself some Neutral Red, a water soluble, crystalline, red dye. Mix some into the persons wine and wait for them to take a leak. (Nuetral Red comes out as red as it goes in, and people have a tendancy to get really nervous when they start ****ing what they think is blood!
Tell your victim that you have a test of coordination you would like him to try with you. Find a door with a fairly large crack between the door and the wall when the door is open. (You know, over by the hinges; across the width of the door from the doorknob...) You need an egg (NOT hard-boiled), and a wood floor (you don't want the egg cracking on carpeting, do you??). Now, have your victim get on the opposite side of the door from you, and put 2 fingers through the door. Hand him the egg, in those two fingers. Working with him, trade the egg back and forth a couple of times, moving UP the door frame. After you have his confidence, leave. He will be trapped there, holding this egg by two fingers through the door. If he lets go and nobody takes the egg, it will crash to the floor. Best to do in the person's own room.
Well, that will do for now... just a few more nasties

That's a good one but who is that joke really on? The guys with the lax coffee, or the guys rollin around on the floor in the men's restroom??
