Practical Jokes

[GQ_jumper 4]

Let's hear your best ideas, I have the rest of the year to live in this small building with my teammates and what better way to pass my free time in Iraq than by getting on each their nerves

I started today by taking my team engineers shoes, boots, shoes, flip flops, everything, and cramming them all into a couple of ammo cans filled with water. They are in the freezer right now, I'll get em back to him sometime tomorrow(along with the big blocks of ice they are inside of) after he spends the entire day looking for them. This was payback for a joke he played on about half the team back in January, we've just been waiting for a good opportunity to get him back, I tihnk he's forgotten we still owed him

I love causing trouble.

My fave in college was the "Leaner". Wait until the subject is in his room, preferably asleep. Fill a large container (size depends on how much havoc you want to reek) with water and lean it against the door. You kinda put it against the door jam so that it balances. Then just knock on the door and run. Subject opens door and the container tips into the room, spilling the water.

Peace,

if you get your hands on it: Rogaine in the shampoo (not too funny for you military guys though...)

The leaner is terrific, don't know how many times i did that in the dorms/frat house

celophane over any public toilet that isn't a hole in the ground while youre on patrol

dismantling and reassembling vehicles inside buildings is always fun, but you may get in trouble and not have the time

...I'll think of more...

So there I was...

Making friends and playing nice since 1983

Hide battery powered travel alarm clocks (the wallet sized ones) at different locations around his/her room, each set one hour apart.

Locations to hide them....first one taped to the underside of the bed, next one taped to the back of the dresser, one insight a lightshade, one in the floor vent...etc.

Gets up at one AM to scramble around and find that irritating fucking alarm and finds it taped under the bed. two o-clock...starts all over.

My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.

I work in a University Residence and a few years back, one of my student staff replayed a "leaner" story for us. Apprently, the "leanee" was heading home on vacation for a few weeks. He opened his door one day and the rather LARGE garbage can full of water poured into his rez room. No worries, he thought. I'll be back in a few weeks and it'll be dry by then.

Fast forward a few weeks ... he opened the door to his room and found his carpet all green and fuzzy. Apparently the "leaners" dumped many a pouch of "chia pet" seeds into the water.

Needless to say, the carpet had to be replaced and that student was FOREVER known as "Chia Pet".

I love that one, unfortunately it won't work on the guy I'm trying to get, he just sleeps through it.

We did have one of our old engineers who built a loft in the team room build a watch into the wall that went off every morning for fifteen minutes until it ran out of batteries, two years later!.

I'm going to go check on the blocks of ice now.

and warped, the boots are only half frozen so its ok!! i left the tops and laces out of the ice so they can be tied in nice bows for him when I give em back.

This is more of a mean one, but I've ashamedly don it... Coat someone's windshield wipers with vaseline (on a rainy day when they'll use them before they go anywhere, or else it's WAY to dengerous). As soon as they turn on the wipers, it spreads a thin film of vaseline on the windshield, which is next to imposible to get off. I think they ended up having to scrape it off with a straight razor blade!

God made firefighters so paramedics would have heroes...and someone can put out the trailer fires.

This may or may not work well in your situation but anyway...

I once worked for a guy who was sure that all ladies everywhere wanted him. He'd tell all of us about his exploits on a daily basis. So for April Fools day one year some of us sent him flowers at work with an unsigned note. It's been awhile so I forget exactly what we put on the note but the general impression was that "she" really really liked him.

He spent the rest of the day trying to figure out which of his "lady friends" had sent it to him. It was nearly impossible to keep from laughing in his face as he debated the possible choices (ie all the women he'd ever line danced with at the local country western bar).

He didn't believe us when we told him at the end of the day that we'd sent the flowers, not Betty or Jane or Mindy or...

That's good but I don't think flowers.com delivers over here

Besides this guy knows that girls don't want him, they want me

One of the easier things to do is just to switch out rank on his hat or kevlar. You'd be amazed at how much of an annoyance that is - especially if his name isn't on his hat. Odds are, he'll go arund looking for whomever has his hat when he's got it with the wrong rank.

That's a small annoyance. With OpSec and other things to consider in theater, it may be more difficult to pull some of the other things.
