In past days in a large plant all the phones used to be black,  I would put blue edible ink on the earpieces, maintainence, production, shipping/receiving, accounting, etc.  Guys would walk around all day with a big blue ear.  Even the pay phones,  got truckers and the phone guys too. The blue tinge would wash off, but the red dye within had to wear off.
Unscrew the mouthpiece, insert a tiny bit of anchovie or tuna, replace. Watch them look around for the smell. Many, especially women had no clue you could unscrew a mouthpiece.

As a terminal smartass, I guess it's OK to post more than one.  In the late 70's, I started working in a small machine tool shop. (I've had many jobs, therefor many opportunities to practice jokes).  We were trying to win a large job from a company that supplied automation systems to GM.  We used to have a Box of Snacks delivered every week.  I purchased a box of Cracker Jacks.  The prize was a large set of bright red adhesive lips.  The boss (who was also the owner) was waiting for the phone call to say if we got the job.  I had taken the liberty to place the lips on the mouthpiece of his phone.  When the call came the first thing the guy from the other company heard was "What the f@#k".  Since the other 3 guys in the shop were also jokesters, no one would say anything.  And since he could not afford to fire the whole shop crew, nothing was done.  We also did things like turn the radio way up in his car after he went in the office, taped his telephone receiver down. 
Our humor was also directed at anyone that came to the shop.  When a shop would bid on a job and the large company did not know anything about you, they would send a representative out to evaluate your ability to do the job and deliver on time.  Our shop and the one next door were bidding with the same company.  They sent out a young attractive female who was new on the job.  She looked around our place first and asked to use our bathroom before she went next door.  We sweetly told her ours was out of order but the one next door was working.  The bathroom next door had all the walls of the only stall completely covered in centerfolds from every porn magazine you could imagine.   Even the back of the door. Since we both got the OK and received work nothing was said.

when i worked for Hunt Trck, sales and leasing (a freightliner/volvo dealer) in the 90's my boss and i would take turns scaring each other. until the last time i got him. he was standing on a tank step in the drivers door of a classic xl, and i got an air hose with an attatchement that would blow air over a part like after machining, i crawled under the truck and slid in till i was right under him, i put the air hose up his pant leg and let it blast! he pissed all over himself and me i scared him so bad. it was nasty but worth it  ;D

Back in the 70's when "Vanning" and van clubs were the rage, we attended the Midwest Truck-in  in Monticello, Indiana one year.  It was crowded as all hell, with barely enough room to park your trucks.  Well, it rained one afternoon, and it was getting muddy.  One guy, "Budweiser" was his handle, brought a bean bag chair, and it eventually sprung a leak and began discharging little white styrofoam balls everywhere, and were getting tracked everywhere too.  People had enough, so a couple of us took about a gallon of these styrofoam balls and poured them down the defroster duct in his van, turned the blower to HIGH, and set it to defrost, and cleaned up any evidence.  This being the middle of summer, everyone was sweating like crazy, and someone told Budweiser that he had to move his van a little farther from the fire pit.  He gets in, turns the key and WHOOOOOSH!  instant snow storm!  He gets out of his van looking something like Frosty the Snowman, just covered in styrofoam balls head-to-toe.  We were all laughing so hard it hurt.

It was one of my first jobs and there was a copy of HUSTLER getting passed around the shop. Some of the guys were pulling out pictures and putting them up at their areas and I noticed that the naturally foul-tempered a-hole "Charley" from the other end of the shop looked like the guy in the "Chester the Molester" cartoon......... especially with "Charley"'s black brush-cut and glasses drawn on..... and it was an especially rude cartoon that month....... ("Charley" is having a Halloween party... the kiddies are bobbing for apples........ there's a tub of water on his lap and a can of red paint behind him and one of the apples isn't an apple.)

.... hung the modified cartoon by "Charley"'s desk on Monday morning, only to find that "Charley" was on vacation that week.......

..... that week where everyone had to walk past "Charley"'s desk going in and out and laughing every time.....

...... that next Monday when "Charley" returned - to greetings like "Hey, it's Charley the Molester!" - his naturally foul temper was especially foul.

.....and the a-hole never found out who.............


 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

My girlfriend played a good one on me...

Her brother and his wife had just had a baby.  When I would go over there (they lived together at the time), I would always play with the kid. 

One night, my girlfriend went into her brother's bedroom and came out with the baby.  Meanwhile, I just got there, so I was talking about something that happened during the day that I was excited about while my girlfriend sat down with the baby.  When I was done jibber-jabbin', I went to give the baby a kiss on the cheek.  When my face was about 4 inches from the baby's, my lips puckered and sticking out, I noticed that something didn't seem quite right.  The baby was wrapped in a blanket and had a stocking hat pulled low, but the eyes and mouth were odd.  After about 5 seconds of staring with my face 4 inches from the baby and my lips still sticking out, I realized I was about to kiss a doll head. 

I think my response was something like "What the Sam Hill...!"  Then I sent the doll flying across the room.

as a teen playing hockey the old "ben gay in the jockstrap" was a favourite of course. 15 years or so ago i had a roomate who would get pig drunk and pass out on the couch in the living room, not cool when theres a snoring, drooling drunk on the couch and i have lady company. i warned him one night that the next time he did it, he would rue the day he ever met me. well it didnt take long and rocky drank a litre of jack black and passed out. rocky was/is a really hairy guy, as bad as me if not hairer. he passed out and i got a brandy new roll of duct tape, and a fresh sharpie and proceeded to wrap him up in around 200 feet of ducttape and draw a likeness of hitler on him face with the marker. i then went to my bedroom to await the uproar. rocky lost enough hair to build a puppy i think, and it took him a couple of days to get all the marker off his face.  :D

yep, as people get to know me they realize that if i say i'm going to do something as a result of them pissing me off i WILL. the tape and sharpie incident is as close to causing physical harm as i'd ever go though. i dont like to hurt people, just "educate"

I was working at a factory and our department supervisor, Bill, had a habit of eating sandwiches and deserts that he found in our lunch bags. One day we had had enough. As expected the strategically placed lunch bag was missing its tuna sandwich. Bill was also missing for more than 2 hours. Someone noticed there was groaning coming out of one stall in the wash room.  When Bill returned (looking a bit pale) there was a half empty bottle of cod liver oil sitting next to the lunch bag. Curiously, we never lost a sandwich or desert again.

In the early 70's....
we lifted a teacher's Volkswagen Beetle onto a dumpster.
 
in college we were always getting harrassed by the local cops....so one nite we sneaked into their parking lot and loosened all their hubcaps, put electrical tape on to barely keep them on. Then someone called and said there was a riot going on and we watched all the hubcaps come flying off when the cars went around corners.
