The old "Balance-the-bucket-of-water-on-that-barely-open-door " doesn't count, does it ?

Nah. Well ok, if it has an amusing story to go with it Neo .

In case anyone's reading this from my former work, I'll shorten it to one sentence to summerise it, so you can't guess who I am :

Co-Workers wanting to do a prank = Water + Barely open door to get back at other co-worker + Boss coming early to work = Wet Boss and Fired Co-Workers.

What a stupid boss can't he take a joke?

One of the guys in the computer class plugged the screens into other boxes than their own and everybody went crazy becus either nothing worked if they tried to do it or their comp did stuff on its own, you can have lots of fun in a comp class

Of all things that are, the most ancient is God, for He is uncreated. The most beautiful is the universe, for it is God's workmanship. The greatest is space, for it holds all things. The swiftest is mind, for it speeds everywhere. The strongest necessity, for it masters all. The wisest, time, for it brings everything to light. -Thales

Last year the Upper 6th form bought a fish from the market on their last day and threw it down a small gap in the corner of the common room between the lockers. It was impossible to get it out. So when we moved into the common room the following school year it was still there and it had been sitting there, festering away, in the July/August heat for 6 weeks
We were never able to remove it! We had to wait until it had gotten so rotten it ceased to smell

On the last day of school before they went on study leave one year, our upper 6th brought in loads of balloons and filled the entrance hall into our school full of them, so you actually couldn't get in at all. If the teachers hadn't been amused there would have been detentions all round, there was the typical "fire hazard" talk. It was very funny though

For those who are still at school, there exists sth like a school destroyer's manual or sth like that. One of the practical jokes there was to put a rotten fish into the ventilation system, which results in unbearable conditions wor work.

on april fool's i told the bus driver that one of the tires was flat. imagine those huge tires...

The one I dream of is a computer one. The office comes back from lunch and the screen seems frozen with the message to "Hit any key to continue" and when they punch any button a 10 count begins with the message "All data will be deleted in" with the seconds left. At the end, as the are screaming "NOOOO!" it would go, "April fools". Never found a program for it yet.

I know about one that if you click it it says "deleting system 32"

Fd those are really common, I have some of those at work myself that I use to annoy people I dont like when I get back to work on Monday I'll dig some out for you (if I cope with the near-suicidal thought of going back to that hellhole )

send me some to plz Taw its time to give the compstudy teacher a present again

i had a vb program that says "C drive will re format in 10.. [countdown to 0 " and then the cancel button would be in the centre of the screen.. it was coded so that when mouse over, it randomly re-locates itself on the screen so it's impossible to click on 'cancel' using the mouse

Here's a good one for you, kids. It's one of the oldest IT jokes, but it is great to use on people who know nothing about computers. Firstly, take a screenshot of the desktop and then set it as background wallpaper. Then move the "Start" bar to the stop of the screen and use "Auto-Hide". Finally, hide all desktop icons. The victim will spend many minutes trying to figure out why nothing happens when they click on the Start button. It's a great joke . I've never used it on anyone though; I'm a nice guy ;P.
