We would shove a feral cat in a mail box along the side of the road. When the old lady would drive up, roll down her window, open the mail box the cat would come flying out into the open window of her car. The hilarity of action was just like in the cartoons.

Please note, old lady was considered >25 years old.

Ha. I called the operator and said 'don't call us, we'll call you' and hung up, giggling. She called back about 20 seconds later and read me the riot act.  

While it didn't stop me, I sure was more careful about who I called in the future.

I blew up my chemistry teacher's tires.  All four of them simultaneously.  If you mix the right type of iodine with ammonia, then a residue forms at the bottom of the bottle.  It's a clay like substance that is an impact explosive.  It's rather inert when moist.  You can spread it in places like tire treads.  So I did.  Once it's dry then it will blow up with enough impact.  It's been many years but I think it's nitrogen triiodide.  The funniest part is that when it goes boom, a purple cloud shows up.

So I put them on the top of his tires.  When they rolled, all four blew up simultaneously.  With purple clouds going off.  

I asked him a few weeks later what happens when you mix iodine and ammonia.  He smiled at me like he wanted to beat me and said "That's an easy way to get suspended".

We went around ramming herby curbys one night, until we got stuck in a ditch.

Snowman over fire hydrant by the road.

He was undefeated.

We used to do that one, too.

Never heatd it called ding dong ditchem til like ,2000.

I worked at a plant  rebuilt brake calipers, boosters and master cylinders as well as made brake pads
Filthy shop. Our huge fsns that stood on poles were like 36" and would get covered with dust and filth. I would find a filthy one and throw a socket at the back of the fan and bust all the dirt loose, covering the person who was in front of it. Same job i would rub black grease across the front of the builders tables and as they assembled their units their bellies would rub the table and be covered in that shit.

A few years out of high school, we were working a few days a week changing tires, a coworker bought a new Geo Metro and was really bragging about his 45+ MPG.

So after the first week my buddy bought a can of 104+ octane boost to use in his personal vehicle, but saved the can and filled it with 87 as it was a metal can with a small cap, we could keep it handy while storing it safely.

About 3 times a week when we had a chance, he would add 1 quart to the Geo's fuel tank and the owner was stoked that his was around 55 MPG. He said it was getting "broken in" lol.

After 2 months he stopped adding the fuel and we asked him how his Geo was doing on fuel.

He took it to the dealer a few times as his MPG went down by 10 since he only drove about 10 min to work and that tiny tank lasted all week easy at first.....until we stopped "helping".

With gas at $1 gal on a bad day it was cheap fun.

Dad pranked our neighbor. He'd open his screen door every morning to get his paper. Dad tied an pyrotechnic artillery simulator on a line to the door so it would go off when he opened the door.


Loudest whistling pete fireworks sound ever followed by the BANG at the end. Pretty damn funny to us at 8 years old

I lived in a rural area, one time my cousins and I did the purse thing as well, except we found a black snake and put in it.  A car load of boys in an old beat up station wagon spotted it. They went up the road turned around came back for it. They didn't even stop and the guy in the front passenger side jumps out and snatches it up. They were yelling they had money now and were going to the store. Then we hear them yell "Snake!" All four door open and it looked like a clown car at the circus with all the bodies coming out. Driver didn't even put it in park. There were guys in the back too, trying to get out. The car coasted to a stop in a ditch about 50 yards down the road. My cousins and I had climbed a tree to watch, and we almost fell out from trying not to laugh. Fortunately, we were not spotted.

One of my cousins, a female, would get a random number out of the phone book and call. She would say: "Mrs. Smith? This is the operator. We one have one of our linemen doing work on your phone line for the next 5 minutes. Please do not answer the phone for then next 5 minutes it will electrocute the lineman."

Mrs. Smith would say ok and my cousin would remind them don't answer the phone or it will shock the lineman.

About 3 minutes later my cousin would call back and Mrs Smith would answer. My cousin's brother would scream in the phone like he was being shocked. Mrs. Smith would usually shout too and abruptly hang up.

In HS we would jack up a friend's car (usually a girl) and put watermelon rinds under the rear wheel. Then we would put a small rock under the front tires so it wouldn't move. The person would come out to their car and crank it up, put it in reverse and it wouldn't go anywhere, the tires would spin. They would gun it and tires would still spin. If they got out to see what was wrong, most of the time they could not see the watermelon rinds. They would get back in the car and try to go forward, nothing. Eventually we would come and push their car off.

My friend stole a giant roll of TP from a Texaco bathroom one night, the kind that's like a foot diameter.  We decided to wrap an entire block in his neighborhood.  Stuck a hair brush in the middle and hung it out the window. Made it several times around the block with a single sheet of TP.

We also took every decorative mailbox in his neighborhood one night and lined them all up in one person's yard.

His neighbor had a big cow metal mailbox.  We took it and kept it for a week or two.  They finally replaced it with a barn.  We took the barn and put the cow back.

Back when the beer drinking age was 18, we drank beer as juniors and seniors in high school. A group of us went to a diner late one night and one of the guys was all wound up and talking his head off. He got up and went to take a leak. One of my buddies loaded up his ice water with salt from the salt shaker. The first guy comes back and keeps jabbering while eating and drinking the glass of saltwater. Suddenly after drinking half the glass, he slams it down on the table and yells at the top of his lungs, "THAT WATER IS GROSS AS SHIT!"

Bomb bags. Put one underneath an unsuspecting victim's chair and you'd watch them jump out of their seat when it went off

A buddy of mine was gifted a truck by his stepdad when he turned 16. We got bored one night and drove out to the local dump back back when everyone took stuff there (pre trash truck service). We found an old tv, card table, chairs, lamps, and a bunch of other odds and ends. We loaded up the truck and took everything to a girl’s house and made an entire living room on her front lawn.

This bit is hilarious....
