I didn't witness this but, I was there when it happened. My cousin put Saran Wrap on the toilet seat. So, when my other cousin(her sister) went to the bathroom, well you know what was going to happen. I heard her scream EHW! It's not that bad actually.

My friend made chocolate chip cookies and chopped up some chocolate flavored Ex-Lax which she put in the cookies. She gave them to her ex (who she was still friends with but also a little angry at). He ate them all in one sitting. By the next morning, he was completely dehydrated and had to be rushed to the ER. Not good.

a friend called me one year on April Fools, disguised his voice saying it was the morgue, and could I please come down and identyfy the body (of him).
I was 24, and totally freaked out.
that ended the friendship

During my freshman year of high school, some of the seniors thought it would be fun to get a piglet and shave it, stick it full of pins and let it run amok in the commons. They got in HUGE trouble and a teacher took the piglet to live on her farm. Last I heard, it was doing well.

the year is 1998, guido and a few of his cohorts took it upon themselves to ruin a certain senior's entire day. (we all hated him and he knew it)
we jacked up his car, loosened all the lugnuts on all 4 of his tires as loose as they'd go, then lowered his car back to the ground. at the end of school, we all watched from the band room windows as he ran out, jumped in, started his car, began to drive away, and then crashed to the ground as all 4 wheels fell off and rolled away without the car on top of them.
we were a-holes, eh well...you live you learn.

In a lousy production of South Pacific many years ago we had a Nellie Forbush who was talented but utterly wrong for the part. She was also a bit holier than thou about how much better she was than we little folk.
We put ice in her rinse water when she washed that man right out of her hair.
She was not a happy camper. Pity.

It still makes me mad when I think of this one because I was the victim
My brother claimed that my mom had made patee (that French cracker topping) and gave me some of my mom's "homemade" patee. Little did I know that my brother had actually chewed up a cracker, regurgitated it onto a second cracker under the guise of patee... and I ate it.

tagiunagi- that is horrible!
When I used to go to performing arts camp in the summer, the morning before opening night was "Prank Day". The faculty usually played harmless jokes on the people on stage, like playing the wrong song during their solo or something. One year they decided to play the MEANEST joke on my friend who is deathly afraid of clowns. Backstage right before you walk on from stage right there is a tiny vent on the floor, where instruments can be stored. There is a door that leads down there, and that day before everyone went backstage for the show one of the faculty dressed up as a clown and went under the vent. It was pitch black backstage when my friend was standing right above the vent and the guy flashed on a flash light to show his clown hair and makeup.
Needless to say she was extremely mad and freaked out.

Many years ago I was in a summer stock production of CAMELOT in which the Lancelot (who had a thick Cuban accent) and the Guinevere couldn't stand each other. There was a rivalry about whether "If Ever I Would Leave You" or "Before I Gaze At You Again" would get the bigger applause. I vividly recall him going to the prop tray and replacing whatever munchies were on the platter that they used on stage with cream-filled cookies (maybe they were mini-cannoli's). This coated Guinevere's throat with phlegm and she literally croaked her way through her song.
She got even by stealing his costumes and taking them all in 1". He literally split his seams on stage the following night. As Lancelot wore white tights, she also stained the back of his tights with tea so that it looked as though he had a serious accident in his pants.
Oh, those were the days!

it;s not that bad of one, but my friend is a HUGE fan of Elijah Wood.
Well, one day, we all heard that he had visited a coffee shop nearby. So, we pretended that one of our friends had been there and got his autograph. (another girl signed a napkin for us, doing her best to copy his signature). anyway, we showed the friend obsessed with Elijah the napkin later on the day and she FLIPPED out!! It was hilarious. She at first didn't believe us when we told her it wasn't his, then she was pissed at us.

I was at a dance competition once, and this one girl named Amber came and cussed one of my friends out. Well, Amber had this one production number that she had to change shoes onstage for, and my friend decided to drop a couple of thumbtacks in her shoes, when it was time for her to change the shoes, well, needles to say, that produciton group didn't score too high!

raulfan, has your friend by any chance red "101 WAYS TO DUMP ON YOUR EX? It features a prank like the one you described.
Anyway, here's mine. When I was 15 I fooled some classmates and a couple teachers into believing that I had a kid. I made up a story that he had been conceived at summer camp four years earlier and been born the following May, which would have made him 3 years old at the time the prank took place. Basically, I said that the mother had recently contacted me, informing me that I was the father of her son, a "fact" of which I was unaware until then. I had my older sister write the letter so it would differ from my handwriting and I even borrowed a baby picture and a photo of one of her college friends to make it more believable. My older brother also went along with it, but I had to bribe him. Anyway, my friends and the teachers who knew fell for it. I made sure my mom never found out by begging my friends not to tell her anything. My reason was because I didn't want to upset her with the baby news when in reality I didn't want to be grounded for fibbing. I knew that if my mother discovered what I'd done, knowing her, she'd make me apologize to everyone individually. Eventually it got old playing the part and I eagerly welcomed summer vacation once school was out. (I was somewhat of a loner and didn't hang out with friends much outside of school.) I did end up confessing when the new school year began, but no one thought it was very funny. Needless to say, I was given the silent treatment by some and I lost other people's trust. For a while, at least.

brdwybound2, my brother (who is one year older) and I shared friends and two of our closest buds once fought over who would be the godfather. ("He's MY best friend"; "Yeah, but I'm here the most") It was very difficult for us to keep a straight face, knowing what we knew to be true. Or rather, not true.

I dont know if this really counts, but a few years ago I tried scaring some of my friends by popping out of a locker. I had a friend tell someone else to come "help her open her locker". When they did I'd pop out and scare them. After we did it to one girl, we decided to do it to another. We got another girl and when I popped out, she got so freaked out that she slammed the locker shut. I was stuck in there for about 20 minutes.
