Practical jokes gone bad.

[trof]

I was building a deck on the back of the house about 6' above ground level. Finished the framing and was walking back and forth on the joists, putting on a few finishing touches before I started with the decking. Half a dozen times Miz t. called out the adjacent kitchen window "PLEASE be careful. I wish you wouldn't do that."
Yeah, yeah, I'm OK.

At 5:00 I decided to call it quits for the day. "Hey, hon. Quittin' time. How about a drink for the builder?" As I made my way from joist to joist toward the window I suddenly thought, in light of all her warnings, that it would be funny as hell to drop from sight just as I reached the window.

As soon as I squatted down out of sight I KNEW it was a very very bad idea. I heard a loud scream and then breaking glass. I popped back up. "Just kidding." Way too late.

It took me a several minutes to clean up the half-gallon of Johnny Walker Red she dropped.
She was speaking to me again by the next afternoon.

You ever have one of these?

3. Mail order comic book stink bomb

I was the fifth grade milk monitor and delivered the milk to the classes before lunch. Lower classes got theirs' delivered around ten in the morning. My buddy and I had ordered and received the novelty-back-page-comic book stink bomb and thought it would be cool to place it on a tray of milk headed to the lower classes. The smell, not unlike like natural gas, wafted through the whole school and it quickly got out of hand.

Hmmm, ensuing fire drill alarm, talk with principal, and fire chief, sure took the wind out of our sail! "No sir, we did not touch the stove in the kitchen."

4. So many I can't even remember them all

We are constantly playing practical jokes on each other and so of course one has to go bad now and then.

Mr. Cher had returned from a business trip to Italy and I was to pick him up at the airport. This time I decided to park and go in to find him at the baggage claim. I spotted him waiting for his bags and I stealthily crept up behind him and grabbed his ears and pushed them outward while saying, "Snark snark," and then I reached around and pushed his nose up like a pig and said, "Oink!"

Mr. Cher looked at me like he had never seen me before in his life! Like, "Who is this nut, assaulting me?!" The two other gentlemen standing with him looked at me in amazement. I will never forget the looks on their faces. Out of the corner of his mouth Mr. C muttered, "My boss!" To which I burst out laughing and had to go hide behind a sign. Literally I was laughing so hard I could not recover. By this time many people are trying to figure out what was going on. Everytime I would look at Mr. C, trying to keep his dignity, it would prompt a round of convulsive laughter which made me choke and gasp.

Unbeknownst to me, his boss and the owner of the company had decided to accompany him instead of going on another flight.

Mr. C had to give up his free ride home because he couldn't admit to knowing me.
