    I think the bulls*** Bingo sounds good if I ever get forced to go again. I also like the idea of taking a couple of Mentos and a 2-liter bottle of diet Coke, placing the bottle in front of the speaker, and putting the mentos in the coke. You will get a geyser, the speaker will be wearing diet Coke on his white shirt, and there is a pretty good chance that his Bible and/or Washtowel is going to be soaking wet. Not to mention that the carpet is going to have a nice stain, and hopefully the ceiling and/or wallpaper is going to be ruined.

    Notice that if you do this, you stand a near certain chance of being disfellowshipped. It also works at the Grand Boasting Session, if you are near the platform--during the drama, put two mentos into a bottle of diet Coke and aim it right at the stage. People will get a bath of diet Coke, and it will probably ruin the drama (hopefully, it will also disrupt the effect). As a bonus, you might get someone else's manuscript soaking wet.

    Yes, diet Coke works best. Regular Coke and Pepsi do not work as well--diet Coke and two mentos seem to work well. If you use more mentos, you might get a slightly bigger geyser but it will not last as long (better for longer shots). You don't want to waste your mentos with a meager additional effect.

    WTWizard, if you can get coke into the KH, you should just put something like rum in it.

    Too funny! I always found drawing on the Watchower to be a time-passer.

    I practical joke threads! LOL @ bingo. I can just imagine someone bringing in a lap desk, soft drink, troll doll for good luck, and a big dobber. Might as well play it up. ROFL

    These are just jokes:

    Someone suggested doing some lawn work before the meeting-put fertilizer in a distinct shape on the front lawn-no damage done but the shape will be a distinct dark green all summer.

    Leave a CD player in your coat pocket (or someone else's) with a haunted house tapes and play it with remote control, just for a few seconds at a time so people will think it's their imagination.

    Put a tiny piece of tape on the bottom of the faucet in the bathroom. The water will spurt out.

    Leave an Ouija board in the library.

    Get one of those musical or religious birthday cards. Remove the musical chip and stick it under the carpet so it will go off whenever someone walks on it.

    Change the clocks in the kh so the meeting will end early. (I did this in college and it worked repeatedly.)

    Tape a small sardine under one of the seats.

    Get some vampire teeth and wear them to the meeting, acting like nothing's wrong. If asked, just say you had some cosmetic dental work done.

    Make a tie with a scripture citation on it (cafepress.com) that will make them think. Don't quote the scripture so they will be curious and look it up themselves.

    Attend the kh cleaning, and be the last person to empty the garbage. In the bottom of the newly changed can, leave an open can of tuna, with the can liner bag on top so it won't be found easily.

    Color the hand soap so it temporarily stains people's hands (harmless food coloring, several drops in the liquid soap, or hollow out a bar and insert color. Or cover the entire bar with clear spray paint so it won't later. Or put floral perfume soap in the men's room, then ask the bros afterwards if they're wearing perfume.

    Put one of those Christmas window clings in your pocket. Keep an eye on the bathroom so you know when you can have it to yourself. Hang your holiday decoration and close the blinds. No one will see it from the inside.

    Make a tiny version of the wt magazine with your copy machine. Plant a smurf on a seat in the library, reading the magazine.

    Raise your hand when there aren't Q&A parts in the meeting. Or when you answer questions, do so in a strange voice (Three Stooges, Marilyn Monroe, Felix Unger with a sinus infection, etc.)

    Wear full pirate regalia, and keep saying, "Aaarrrrrrrr, I lost my parrot."

    Put a little dry ice in a toilet.

    Put a lot of lubricant in the lock to the front door. It won't hurt it but it will make everyone's hands all greasy.

    Bring hot cross buns to the next service meeting and announce you've brought supplies so everyone can skip breaks.

    Take as much litter-ature as you can w/o giving donations. Say you are placing them rapidly but cannot afford to pay.

    Put a few drops of yellow food coloring on the toilet seat, or leave a tissue with fake snot on the counter. (Obviously this technique could be applied to feminine products.)

    Put a small ad in the newspaper that says, "Free canned goods", giving the address of the kh and listing the time/date to coincide with the next meeting.

    If you're single, ask to speak to one of the MS's after the meeting. Be sure to pick a spot where lots of people are within earshot. Tell him loudly that you or your gf is pregnant out of wedlock and ask a lot of questions in quick succession so he doesn't have time to think. When asked to go in the back room, talk louder, but don't move. After a crowd has gathered, say, "Just kidding!"

    Find some body makeup that turns your skin into an orangey sort of fake tan.

    Walk around smiling nonstop. It is unnerving.

    Sing the songs really, really loud, and make up new words like "pedophiles", cleverly slipping them in there so no one's sure if you actually said the right words or not.

    Change the discs for the songs so it plays something like Stairway to Heaven.

    Leave some furry handcuffs or lube in a chair an elder was sitting in, or better yet, soft homosexual porn.

    You can do this by mixing some eyeshadow in with skin lotion. Each meeting, be a different hue--just one shade outside the range of normal skin color. Match your clothes to your skin.

    When your skin is blue, walk around with a frown and keep saying, "I'm BLUE."

    When you're green, keep saying, "Love your tie! I'm so ENVIOUS."

    Red--"I'm ANGRY."

    Brown--"I'm upset because a householder told me I'm FULL OF CRAP."
