  Once I snuck in to a KM school for elders and taped the whole 1 1/2 days of sessions, and put it on the Net.

  Of course, this post is most likely a prank.

  Boxed elder bugs

  I think my best prank was when I left Bethel. The day I was leaving they announced on Bethel t.v. no going away parties for anyone leaving Bethel. I immediately got on the phone called everybody I knew and told them to meet me where I worked in the Squibb building,I then ran out to a nearby store in Brooklyn Heights, on the work time clock and purchased pizza, cake and a bunch of party plates and hats, and we had a big party with Bethel elders walking by giving us all the stink eye.

  La Capra

  When I was in jr high, our next door neighbors tore down a fence between our houses and were in the process of rebuilding it. While it was down, we could see each others yards. Under their covered patio, sitting on a shelf, was an empty fish bowl. So one night, I snuck over, filled the bowl with water and put in a bright orange gold fish. The next morning, I sat in my house and watched through the window.

  The mom came out first, and started to get things organized for the day's work on the fence. And when she noticed the fish, it was the only true triple take I have ever seen. I nearly died, I was laughing so hard. Then she went and got her husband. She first accused him of doing it, then she accused the kids of doing. They fought and accused each other all day, while they worked on the fence.

  Sometimes I wonder if they sit around at holidays and tell the funny story of the day a fish appeared in the bowl, reaccuse each other and have a good laugh.

  Does revenge count?

  [blunders on regardless]

  I would say the best prank I pulled was exacting revenge on a fellow who landed a haymaker on my face one night. He was the sort who had lots of people who wished him ill.

  Several weeks later, he found his car's wiper blades superglued to his windshield (windscreen), his windows superglued shut all around the edges and a few generous glazings of superglue on the windows themselves ensured more fun for him, superglue in the locks—including trunk, his gas cap superglued on.

  Some time later, he no doubt discovered that each of his tires had superglue in the valve stem, his windshield washer fluid jets had been sealed with superglue, and the catch for the hood (bonnet) available through the grill was superglued.

  I didn't care that he never knew who did it, not that I am admitting to it. But, someone was playing the part of "Karma's fists" that evening.

  In case revenge is disqualified:

  At the company I worked for in Columbus, OH, there was a lanky fellow who was rather uptight.

  One day, there was a meeting with some Corporate bigwigs (Directors) and one of them (so the story goes) took a soda from the refrigerator. This was no ordinary soda. This was ... a Dr. Pepper (cue saintly music with hymnal accompaniment).

  So, our uptight fellow decided that the theft of his Dr. Pepper warranted a company-wide email decrying the theft of his possession. He equated the callow act with invading his home and stealing his television or stove. He waxed on about how hard he works for his money and related that he only had one delight in life to ease the anguish of his drudgery...you guessed it, Dr. Pepper (cue saintly music with hymnal accompaniment, again). This delight was robbed from him and he demanded justice be exacted in the form of a few pounds of flesh.

  Basically, he ruined his reputation at the company and dampened morale. As it turned out, it spoiled his whole day. He was casting accusatory looks at everyone with a churlish attitude toward work and generally spent the day making an even more complete ass of himself than the email alone had managed to do.

  I arrived the next morning a full half-hour earlier than the rest of the staff and distributed 24 cans of Dr. Pepper to various desks thoughout the building. He usually arrived around 7:30 AM. Our full staff arrived between 7:00 AM and 11:00 AM, so all through the morning people were bringing him his "lost" Dr. Pepper. He was angry about it, but it did wonders for staff morale.

  Where I used to work, we had a communal fridge but somebody from the night shift in another section kept stealing any food we left in overnight, so we made a particularly tasty looking chocolate cake - laced with a large amount of chilli powder (amongst other extras!) and then left a slice in the fridge.

  As expected, the cake disappeared that night - but no food ever went missing again after that!

  You missed an ideal opportunity there to make it with chocolate laxatives !

  Or (laxatives) + (chili powder) = (burning sharts).

  hehe - laxatives were amongst the 'other ingredients' along with extra baking powder and a good dose of salt - but we didn't put too much laxative in because we were a thoroughly sensible bunch of people and of course wouldn't do anything too dangerous
