I know it seems a bit childish, but I really enjoy playing elaborate pranks on my wife. I often stay up late, probably due to some level of insomnia. This year I thought I would capitalize on my restfullness and give my wife a good scare.
Earlier this week, I got out our fog machine from Halloween storage and conveniently placed it under our bed. For added effect, I also placed our portable fireplace/heater in the closet. At 12:00 a.m. this morning I discreetly fired up the portable heater and turned up the house thermostat. An hour later I used the units remote and turned the fog machine on. Its a smaller unit so it takes a while to build up effect. At approximately 1:15 enough smoke had built up so I went into the other room and held a lit candle under our fire alarm. Needless to say, the plan went perfectly. She awoke to a very warm, smokey room with a noticeable flame coming from the closet. I heard a frantic scream before made a heroic dash to the opposite bedroom to 'save' our children from the fiery onslaught. Somehow she didn't think that the whole ordeal was as funny as I did.

You are living dangerously. Some of these "practical" jokes can get you killed.

She hasn't killed me as of yet. However, I am currently sitting in my new bed, the couch.

My wife doesn't have to access my guns. She has her own instantly available to her. I don't play jokes like that on my wife !


Phil Shoemaker : "I went to a .30-06 on a fine old Mauser action. That worked successfully for a few years until a wounded, vindictive brown bear taught me that precise bullet placement is not always possible in thick alders, at spitting distances and when time is measured in split seconds. Lucky to come out of that lesson alive, I decided to look for a more suitable rifle."

I always like the one where you fill a big mailing envelope with shaving cream, put the open end under a door, then stomp on the envelope. Try that on your wife next time she's in the bathroom.

Ya'll are mean to you wives. I know a guy at the supply house that brags about giving his wife 'the dutch oven'.After drinking Lone Star beer (that gives you the farts) he waits until she is asleep,the pulls the covers over her head.What a thing to brag about.

An old man that I worked with years ago told a story of a practicle joke gone bad. I have since heard it from other sources so he might have been making it up. No matter,story tells it all.
semms there were these 2 fellows going out hunting on a near by ranchers property for free ( that was the day!)Anyway as they checked in at the house the Owner had one request of the fellow who came to the door. While you are out there,I have an old mule that is in his last days + I don't want to see him suffer but at the same time I don't have the heart to put him down. Would you please shoot him for me? The guy says sure + then the idea of a joke comes into his mind.So he tells his buddy that I feel lucky today;I'm gonna kill something. Hell I think that I will start with that old mule.So he shoots it + then says,Damn,that felt good,maybe I'll shoot you next.At which point his buddy shot + killed him.Message is there.

My April Fools prank for this year was to pick up a dozen custard and jelly filled donuts to take down to the local watering hole. However I did stuff half of them with anchovy filets. Needless to say it was funny watching the expressions on the faces of the guys who got the anchovies.

I have posted this prank before so please bear with.
When I was in high school during the mid-60's, we had an incredible US History teacher who made the world come alive. He drove a late 50's to early 60's VW bug. This particular bug had a space of about 6 inches between the body of the bug and the front bumper. One day said teacher parked in front of a concrete filled steel pole.
Even at that age I had a devious mind and so gathered about ten of my football team mates and we picked up the bug and set it down with the steel pole between the body and the bumper.
Needless to say there was considerable consternation about who could have performed such a heinous deed.
The teacher was at first muy PO'd, but soon realized the creativity of the prank and later was seen to be laughing about it.
The football team being of civic nature volunteered to lift the car and return it to service.
The teacher suspected who the perpetrators were but never made an issue of it. The coaches knew we did it and worked us to the point throwing up, but would still smile that coaches' smile if anyone ever mentioned practical jokes. I suppose that is one reason that I became certified as a history teacher as well as special education. Jerry Hoover

Darn, I thought I was devious when I tied several long zip ties around the drive shaft of a "friend's" truck. Cost him a trip to a mehanic, kept my mouth shut. GW


The possibilities for disaster boggle the mind.

In 1980 I was doing a job in Dimebox Tx. The job super was a real jerk. On the last day I was there + ready to leave after setting the roof top A.C. units,I had the crane operator pick up the job shack + turn it 180 deg. so the only door was up against a brick wall.No windows either.

Actually it was not a prackible joke as much as it was justifiable retribution for someone who fxxked me over on a job a long way from home for his own interests;basically drawing 2 paychecks + not minding the store.Even per deum does'nt mean much when you're out in podunct,Tx.in a trailer because the super would rather put on right guard + go dancing in Houston than watch the job,while you are stuck waiting to go home. I would have loved to be a fly on the wall Monday morning when that bastard showed up hung over + found his job shack turned 180 to the wall.
