Friends and practical jokes ? Always remember the goal is to still have some friends when all the laughter is over.  The guy that works on the bench next to mine I've known for over twenty years. He's 58 and I'm 49 so we have seen a good joke or two. One of the younger guys in the shop tried to pull one on us a time or two, he's still young so a little slow at the learning part.  We work in  a cabinet shop and use Crisco on laminate edges so a solid carbide trimmer will not burn the laminate. The younger guy thought bit funny to grease the handles of some of my buddies and my tools. It was good for a laugh. But I tried to explain to him that having fired the opening shot of a war without prior knowledge of an opponent or opponents can be quite costly.  He still laughed.

I could hear him bitching the next day when he discovered his lunch box handle had been slimed. Not to be out done he Criscoed the drinking stray in my soda.  I laughed, I also said : " You play, you pay ! "

The next day I made a point of letting him catch me around his workbench. He rushed over an inquired into any of my recent activity. I told him you might want something more substancial to wrap your sandwiches up in. Why he asked ? I said when you weren't looking I lifted the lid on your cooler, farted in your cooler and then closed the lid !  He exploded and said : " I can't believe you did that ! "  I said : " Actually I didn't, but it was worth watching the look on your face ! "  It was even funnier at lunch time watching him look at his meal with some skeptisism. I figured I was going eat for free that day.

This guy's not a quiter, ya hafta admire that. His next little trick was to lift a snap on my truck bed cover and leave his Wendy's sack hanging out from under the corner of the cover.  Confrointing him in the office with his trash, he loudly denied and protested. I mearly pointed out, if you're going to lie at least have the intellegence to turn the label on your soda cup away ! Not that I would have believed you anyways.

His memorie seems quite short for a young guy as well. He bicycled in to work one day, so in his absence I took a couple of liberties. The brake pulls got a nice coating of Crisco as well as his center pull handle bar and water bottle. I forwarned another co-worker, who later laughingly gave me the details. Seems the youngin didn't even leave the lot before he stopped and wiped his hands off on some nicely pressed slacks. Oh - Well !

I told him later I'd found a dead rat in the shop and rigamortise  had not fully set in. I offered to hang the rat offf of his Toyota's rear view mirror, by the tail, like a pine tree freshner.  He said : " You wouldn't and why would you do that to me ? "  I mearly asked : " Is it possible that you may have committed some form of sin or transgrettion against me ? "  He laoghed as well as everone else in the office. His immediate boss asked me and my buddy to quit tormenting him, to take it easy on him as he still needed to get some work out of him. That's no problem, me I'm just a lover ! LOL !!!!

We're still good buddies, but these days he gives the older guy's a bit more respect !

Any good stories ?

How refreshing. See how us grown ups can play around, and laugh about it. If some kids had pranked someone that person would have shot them. Why can't our youth have good decent fun these days without someone getting seriously hurt, killed, or sued?
Good post.

Thanks gammies and WVALADYBUG. A co-conspirator and myself have big plans for some monofiliment fishing line and a 3 1/2 foot rubber snake next week. The gory details will be forthcoming ! Someone once asked if I was a bit old for this stuff. I said : " In my teen years I was often accussed of being a young hellyon. If you live past that, you often become an older and wiser hellyon ! " LOL !!!! LET THE GAMES BEGIN !

Years ago, one of my buddies trapped one of those big furry wolf spiders under a quart paper cup and left it on our supervisor's bench. He sat down for lunch and kept staring at that cup. Finally he lifted it and that furry beast, with a palm sized leg spread ran straight at him. I never laughed so hard in my life. It was the first time I'd ever seen anyone do the backstroke on a concrete floor. We used to grease the phone earpiece with vasoline and call our shop from the sheet metal shop across the hanger bay. There was a brief silence,usually followed by some profanity. I got caught by that one a time or two before I started checking the phone. That damn vasoline is tough to get out of your ear and hair while on the job !

LOL! Meb, I used to have this boss who was deathly afraid of spiders but we did not know this at the time!

Well long story short we had a fridge in the lounge and the boss man had this thing for chocolate cake! We got this fake spider (tarantula size) attached it to some fishing line, put the spider on the top shelf of the fridge and tied the other end of the fishing line to the door handle. We then asked the boss who the chocolate cake was for... He said "Chocolate cake?" and swung the door open only to have this huge fake hairy spider jump out at him, I thought he was going to have a heart attack right then and there! I swear he was running six feet off the ground! LOL!

I have also done the thing with the fake spider and the fishing line at Halloween! I attach the spider to the fishing line and run the fishing line to this nail inside of the eaves over the front door, the fishing line runs down the hooks inside of the eaves (hooks are for the Christmas lights btw!) and into the slightly open window... I sit there on the couch and wait for the kids, cyclops opens the door and does his thing, and steps out under the eaves and holds the bowl out, as they reach for the candy I drop the spider into the bowl! LMFAOROTF! You should see the reactions I get! I guess lots of people are scared of spiders, some swat at it while others scream and run! Of course I pull the spider up right away so it doesn't get taken!

I tell you there is never a dull moment with me around! =D

You guys are so funny, and have given me some great ideas. LOL Thanks!!!! Now off to find a spider.

Speaking of spiders, this Wolf Spider was in the hall, and a friend of my daughters was trying to kill it. He'd hit it, a leg would drop off, and he continued to go after the guy, then he hit it, another leg fell off, and still the spider continued to go after the guy. He hit this spider at least 4 good whacks, and then we also gave him some spray. This guy, a big football player, and the kids were all screaming. I was ROTFLMAO. Literally!

Yeah gammies, I'm not real big on spiders myself. I owned a 79 pinto at one time with the all-glass hatchback. I'd dropped the back seat, let the hatch up to carry some cedar 2x8's for a wood project. I was out on the road comming home when I looked in the rear view mirror and saw the biggest,furriest, wolf spider I've ever seen, on the headliner comming up to se me. Damn near wrecked that car before I could pull over and get away from that monster. My dad was laughing anD said :" It ain't nothing but a spider!" I couldn't help but notice him clearing the car before it came to a complete stop though. I just had to ask him:" Just Who's the big BLEEP now ?" LOL !!!! Good luck on you're furry scavanger hunt gammies. Those spiders fit rather nicely in a thermos bottle cap. That should allow the frightened booger to run up someone's arm. You may need to stand back though,as there's liable to be some soilage of the victim's clothing !
