What's the best joke or gag you pulled on someone.

[LogDog75]

Mine was back in the late 70s at my first base. I was living in the hospital squadron dorm as was one of the junior airmen (Brook) who worked with me. Brook was a fresh off the farm and was always talking (exaggerating) about what he'd done. Ken was my roommate and George was Brook's roommate and all four of us played on the squadron football team with Brook getting very little playing time.

I had taken leave and drove to North Carolina. When I got back I was talking with our office secretary, who was from North Carolina, about my trip and I remarked I could have bought apple cider there for $1.50 a gallon whereas the commissary sold it for $1.50 for a half-gallon. I said that's okay because I can't drink more than a glass a day. Brook heard this, laughed, and piped-in that he could drink it all day. I challenged him and told him I have a half-gallon in my dorm refrigerator and could he drink it that night. He agreed. I also got Ken and George to help goad him into actually doing it.

Well, he did and after he triumphantly told us and I said "You know what too much apple cider does to you? It gives you the runs." Brook said it's never done that to him. It wasn't too long before Brook started "living" in the bathroom. The three of us were laughing our asses off. Later that night as Ken and I were getting ready for bed I told him I know what position Brook can play on the football team. RUNNING BACK!. We were laughing hard and decided to tell this to George. We knocked on George's door and he said to come in. When we entered George said "Thanks, I forgot I was his roommate!" George was in his bed when I told him of Brook's new football position. George laughed so hard he literally fell out of his bed laughing. Brook came out of his bathroom and heard what I said and a distressed look came across his face and then he turned around and went back into the bathroom.

Brook said the next day everyone in the hospital squadron were either laughing or smiling at him when he went to their section because the word had spread about what happened. It was funny and it took him down a notch with his exaggerating.

1. It isn't my story, Mr Lake's.

Mr Lake was a chef at the fancy restaurant in town.

A family member of the owner worked part time as the cleaner.

But Tom was a prankster and would call fifteen minutes before closing to make fake reservations for ten.
Which would throw the whole staff into panic mode.

Well, to get back at him, Mr Lake took pumpernickel dough and formed it into a large poop. He even put corn in it. Took the “poop” and laid it on , in and around the toilet of the men’s room.
When Tom came into clean he called Mr Lake into the toilet. To see this gross thing. Mr lake said, Tom you are such a baby and picked the poop up in his hand and squished it in his fingers. Tom barfed and had to clean up both!

2. My wife and I were out for a bicycle ride (before we were married). In Seattle we have hills.

I had a fairly heavy mountain bike, and hadn't been riding much so I had a LOT of trouble going up one of the longer hills toward the end of our ride. I got off and pushed for a while, rode in various gears, and stopped several times for a break - all the while she was heading up the hill, coming back to see how I was doing, going back up and down a few times...just tooling around on her bike like it was nothing.

While I was stopped I saw that the street was lined with horse chestnut trees, and the fruit and enclosed nuts were all over the place. I picked up two of the nuts and tucked them into my bike shorts. Looked like a major hernia or something. The next time she came back to see how I was doing I was holding the area, and when I took my hands away I could see how VERY concerned she was. I was going to run the gag for a while, but saw how shook up she was and decided to stop. I reached into the shorts and took out the chestnuts, saying, "I think my nuts fell out." She was definitely not amused, and vowed that I would not know where, or when, or how...but she'd get back at me.

She still married me, anyway, and we'll be celebrating our 30th anniversary this coming April 1st. (Yeah - we got married on April Fools Day...we wanted the ONE date that neither of us could ever forget.)

That was over 30 years ago, and I still watch out for what she may have planned to get back at that one!
