Relate your own personal joke you played on unsuspecting and unwitting people in public.

When I was a Reservist, we were in a state management area playing Army when a civilian Jeep pulled down the overgrown road where we were patrolling. I was wearing BDU's, a boonie hat, face all camouflaged, and had on a chest rig with two smokes hanging off of it. No LBE, with a tiger striped rag taped around my M-16A1's handguards. I don't think I looked very official, but their eyes were fricking huge when I stepped from behind a tree and signaled them to stop.
The passenger, a female, asks "Are we at war?" in a very concerned voice.

"Yes, ma'am, we are. Connecticut invaded." the looks on their faces as the backed up the road was priceless.

I don't really do much in the way of practical jokes, or anything.

However, when hubby was in college, George Bush Sr. (who was the current president) came to visit campus, and his roommate was out of town, so anyway when the roommate got back he found his bed wrapped in the "do not cross" tape with official presidential seals all over it, and hubby told him that the secret service had said that nobody was to touch the bed until they returned to check it out further......his roommate slept on the floor for a week. :D I heard this story about 40 times before we actually ran into the roommate at the airport once by chance and I asked him about it, thinking hubby had exaggerated or something and he said "oh, no, I was terrified, and your husband played it so straight I didn't even think to question him" :eek:

I did get a free pizza once, I told my friend I wanted to borrow $40 but only $20 now and $20 later, so she agreed. Later that week she asked about the $20 and I told her that she owed me $20, and reminded her of our deal, I also said that if she bought me a pizza that I would let that be the $20 she owed me even though the pizza only cost $16........so, she bought me a pizza and said "now we are even right?" :D She was stupid.

Greatest joke i ever played was not only in convincing everyone i didn't exist, but simultaneously that Daniel K. Inouye was the single greatest perpetrator of global warming.

Seriously though, there's been so, so many barbs and japes ...

I went on a revenge-ish bender against a former self-absorbed DJ boss a while back that had a three-or-fourfold nature to it, one after another after another, that involved a pizza box, three miscued liners, a toilet flushing, acetone, a photocopier, a string bikini, a series of ad folders, rubberbands in his cigarettes, sugar and a gastank, and his questionable manhood.
Did i say former boss?
