help - practical joke needed

[moosesal]

Hey guys, I need some help with a fic I'm writing. I'm looking for some clever practical joke ideas. I'm at a complete loss right now -- my mind is blank. Help a girl out? If I use your joke in my fic, I'll credit you. :)

Coffee that is actually soy sauce. Not particularly clever, but if you can get them to drink it very entertaining spluttering ensues.

[moosesal]

Okay, that is just really gross. And mean. Of course, I don't drink coffee so it wouldn't work on me. But if I did, I'd be really upset because I hate salty stuff.

[ladyofspain]

Probably mean, but it was in retaliation for practical joke pulled on me involving tacks...

[moosesal]

Well, for retaliation.... you just had to do it, I'm sure. :)

If they are in a work setting, re-writing the sexual harrassment policy to allow/disallow certain behaviours. Then leaving it on the person's desk and asking, did you read the new sexual harrasment policy? I did this for OE-coworker using "invading personal space" and other phrases that we used a lot to see if he noticed there were any changes. But you could give it a flirting flair.

[moosesal]

LOL. I might have to go with something along these lines. Slight difference to fit my characters, but I like the rewriting something angle. Thanks!

:) Glad you like it

Hmmm....
- Switching cereals in their boxes
- Switching sugar for salt
- Putting soot around the lenses of binoculars
- Switching eyeglasses (yes, I know, there's a theme to mine, but I'm drawing a blank on all the others I've seen, etc.)

My mom and I used to smear hand lotion on the inside door knob of each other's bedroom and then close them in the room. :) It makes for a tough time opening the door. And if you've nothing in the room you can use to wipe it off on? Hahahaha!

In college a friend covered another friend's white car with opened oreo cookies... and a guy sneaked in the girl's dorm and filled the entire floor with canned peas.... it was soooo gross!

[moosesal]

The peas are nasty. But the oreos? Hilarious. Mean and possibly damaging to the paint, but very funny. Thanks.

The funniest part of that was that she looked out the window and called 911 and told them someone "shot up" her car. This was Clemson, SC and she thought a gang came by and shot holes in her car!

[moosesal]

Oh man. That is funny! I'll have to tell my favorite employee. Her daughter's hoping to go to Clemson next year. She's eagerly awaiting her acceptance/rejection letter.

There's gag stuff that you can buy as well -- like gag soap that actually turns your hands black, or gag gum that turns your teeth black, etc. Or replacing all of someone's pens with pens that don't work. Or removing all the pencil leads from their mechanical pencils. Replacing sugar with salt, or just loosening the salt or sugar tops so that when someone uses the tops come off and all the contents spill all over. Setting dog shit on fire on someone's doorstep. . .

[moosesal]

You and silvertedy should get together. But not to gang up on me, thanks. ;-)
