Were you a victim or perpetrator of childhood pranks? (telephone, to live, get out of)

Drove out west of town....took the caps off the exhaust pipes....and headed down the long gentle hill into town. [at about 95 mph.]....just before the truck stop we let off the gas and jammed it back into 2nd gear....shootin fire about 30 feet on either side of the car.....

They said, in the truck stop that Big John had driven about two blocks, in his mind, before he noticed that he hadn't moved a bit.....the spinning right rear wheel had thrown gravel right thru the truckstop window tho.....

The Owner [who had watched us do it] NEVER ratted on us

In high school, we had senior prank day every year where the seniors would pull a prank on the rest of the school. I can't even remember what prank our grade did but I remember my sister's. They had all the chairs in the entire school moved out onto the soccer field and lined up to spell out their graduating year. We had to have classes sitting on the floor till we were told to line up and bring chairs back in at lunch break. It was a great prank cause it was so harmless compared to the other pranks grades would come up with (like putting Vaseline on all the doorknobs or dumping loads of marshmallows in front of the school).

Once on April Fool's Day I put ground-up edible chalk in my mom's coffee but she took one look at it, decided the milk went bad, and dumped the whole cup out. Total prank fail, lol.

So it was the Thursday before the May long weekend and the weather broke that morning. The forecast was for glorious warm sunshine Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday and beyond. The only problem was, we were all supposed to be in school on the Friday and nobody wanted to skip out 'cuz there was a big History exam in final period that was worth a whole 35% of the term mark; and there would be no rescheduling without the school (read: our highly anal vice-principal) having direct consultation with the parents over an absence that day.

Dean happened to mention at lunch it was too bad that the school wasn't shut down on Friday for some reason or another, then they'd be FORCED to let us write the exam on another day. This seemed like a plausible scheme to go with so we all put our sinister, coniving heads together and came up with a fiendish plan.

That night, just after midnight, four of us showed up at the school with my neighbor's portable welding truck and proceeded to weld the seam of every exterior door shut. This evil deed was followed up with a hasty (and ultimately successful) escape into the dark of the night.

Sure enough, during the 07:00 AM news on the local radio station the next morning, it was announced that there would be no classes at Palmer High that day. We all had a spectular extended four day weekend of camping out and partying up at the lake. And the best part was...we were never caught for our midnight welding job.

I was at a slumber party when I was around age 11 or 12. The parents were gone for just a little while. Three of us were in the basement playing with the Ouji board while the rest were upstairs making cookies. Suddenly we heard screams upstairs and I was the first one up there. One of the girls had a butcher knife sticking out of her head with blood running down her face. Obviously it was a joke but it wasn't to me. I believed it had really happened and I ran into the den and called the Air Police (we were on a military base) before anyone realized I had done so.

Yes, indeed, the parents were very surprised to arrive home and find the APs in the house with us after the ambulance was sent back to the hospital.

I had 2 younger sisters, and we lived out in the country. One time, we were talking about building a treehouse down the road. Later on, I told my sisters that our mom and dad said it was okay, and they could do that. Well, a little while after that, I went upstairs to our bedroom and they were totally packed up, ready to go-stripped the sheets off their beds and everything! My parents were not amused.

cows will NOT walk DOWN stairs.....they will walk UP them however....

SO.....if you load a cow onto a truck....back the truck up to the fire escape on the 3 story high school building...you can carefully maneuver the cow UP the fire escape stairs to the roof.

You will then have STEAK in the cafeteria during the next week.

DAYUM, I wish we'd a thought of that

[dynimagelv]

it is a true fact that. one (1) pint of castor oil, consumed by one (1) Goat and locked into the highschool principles office on Friday night, will produce approximately 500 lbs of goat crap by Monday morning and ensure that there is no school for at LEAST 3 days.
