Practical
Jokes :
My
undergraduate advisor told me that when he was an undergrad
at MIT, he and his floormates performed this trick on
a particularly obnoxious guy who lived there. The guy
would regularly go down to the power box and kill everyone's
power, just for jollies. Well, they papered his room
one day, and when he opened the door, he calmly lit
a match, threw it in, and left. The building did not
burn down but the student was ejected. He had been failing
out anyway.
This reminds me of another newspaper prank, which I
heard of from an old friend who attended the U. of Rochester
in NY. A guy who lived on their floor had the Wall Street
Journal delivered to his door every day, and the others
on the floor decided to poke fun at this upscale practice
by sealing off his door (from the outside) with sheets
of the Journal. Every morning, the guy would open his
door, see the doorway blocked by the sheets, and leap
through. This became a morning ritual. One day, somebody
got the bright idea to put a Coke machine on the other
side of the papers, and the guy got a concussion when
he tried to go through.
Something
similar happened to me. The phone rings at 3:30am the
night before my calculus exam, the following conversation
takes place: Hello
Let me speak to Cindy
Who?
I said put Cindy on the phone
Sorry but you have the wrong number
Look asshole, put Cindy on the phone NOW
There is no Cindy here, what number are you trying to
reach?
You fucking bustard, I know where you live, now let
me talk to her.
Ok, Ok (long pause) can she call you back, she's in
the shower with my roomate. CLICK.
This can be taken to the extreme. Once at Carleton U.
an entire floor received a "leaner" as we call it. There
are three elevators, and late at night another held
all three elevators, placed trash cans filled with water
and leaning outward in each. Then they pressed 4 and
slipped out. The result: a big mess on the 4th floor.
Unfortunately the water also went pouring down the elevators
and caused some damage. Housing was not amused.
1) Take your Video camera (take someone elses if you
don't have one) 2) Enter your toilet room 3) From the
other side of the room to the toilet, stand on a chair
and video a shot from near the ceiling of your toilet
seat (about 5 mins should do) 4) Have a party !! 5)
When someone leaves the room to visit the lav. put the
cassette in your vid player. 6) Just before the person
re-enters the room start playing the tape - with everyone
in the room laughing at the TV screen. 7) WATCH THE
FACE OF THE PERSON RE-ENTERING THE ROOM !! :-)
