I love practical jokes. Some people really hate 'em, but they need to learn how to pull one off, and then they can join in the fun.

Don't get me wrong, I don't believe you should humiliate anyone for fun (except maybe loved ones). I just feel that we sometimes get caught up in out responsibilities and a practical joke helps relieve tension. They keep us from taking ourselves too seriously.

I wanted to start this thread to share practical joke ideas with one another. Do you have a great story about a prank? Did you ever back out of a practical joke, if so, why? Is there the ultimate practical joke that you can't wait to play?

My most famous practical joke:
Two days before April Fools day, last year. My girlfriend is a very tough girl, but is very trusting, so she tends to be a little gullible. I was getting desperate for a joke to play on my girlfriend when she called and complained about having to go to Planned Parenthood for an exam to get more birth control. Thats when the idea started to come to me...

On April the first, I fired up the old computer and pointed it to hotmail.com. I registered for the e-mail address plannedparenthood33@hotmail.com. I then composed a very official, quite lengthy notice that basically stated she would need to contribute a stool sample at her appointment. I knew full well she checked her e-mail at work and would receive it by the afternoon.

Sure enough, by the afternoon:
she had discussed it with her female coworkers, who were baffled.
she was somewhat upset and ACTUALLY called planned parenthood. The woman on the other end patiently explained that she could not have been contacted by Planned Parenthood, as they do not contact people based on confidentiality. I got the next phone call, and bluffed my way through the call. But by the time she called againh, I didn't have the heart for it.

But for a glorious four or five hours, she thought she would need to bring a stool sample to planned parenthood to receive her birth control. Better yet, she talked to coworkers about it, who were able to get a kick out of the joke when they found out as well.

So, thats it, my crowning practical joke glory.
