1. Select a good victim. Make sure it is a person who can take a joke. Some people are just stupid

2. Think of a good prank. Use common sense and make sure it is something safe and harmless for
everyone
involved. You don’t want to injure yourself or the other person just by
pulling a joke. Make sure

what you are
doing is legal. People do occasionally end up in
jail because they pulled a prank and did
something illegal!
Don’t get too carried away with the joke and
scare somebody into thinking that you are
injured in some way.
(I knew a guy who pretended he was
choking while he was eating. Someone gave
him the
Heimlich maneuver. It didn’t work. So
someone called 911. Then the prankster
started laughing and said it
was a joke! Then the police and ambulance
showed up. That guy had a lot of explaining
to do and the police
were not very happy with him! For that
reason, I will not fake a medical emergency
for a prank.)
3. Decide if or not you want an accomplice. It is
usually best to work alone and not tell anyone
else about your
else about your
pranks. Because, the other person might have a
big mouth and tell the intended victim what you
are doing. Then the joke won’t work or you might just get someone else
with your joke.

4. Make sure you have all the supplies you need
when you need them.
5. Plan things out ahead of time. Know when andwhere you want to do
this. It is best to set things
up when your

going to spend on the prank. Do you want anyone to help you with it.

place you are at and it
will not cause any

(In the Army, I pulled a few jokes. I Googled April Fools jokes and found a
bunch of good ones.
However, there

was one I didn’t do while I was in Iraq, because it would have scared everybody too much. That wasputting a balloon on the back of the tire of a
vehicle. When someone backs the vehicle up, the balloon pops and makes a

7. Set thins up Quietly and discretely. Make sure
your victim is not around. If you are pranking a
coworker, the best time to do this is on their day
off, then you can be sure they will not see you and hopefully no one else will tell them who the
prankster is either.

Don’t let them see you watching them all day and don’t act like you are just waiting for something tohappen.
Otherwise, that will show the victim that you are probably the one who didit. If you are too excited and laughing too much, you might just have to
walk away and laugh somewhere else. If they
can’t see you laugh, they can’t use it against you.

9. Be prepared for retaliation! If the victim ever
figures out it was you who pulled the prank, they are going to get you! Be
ready for them to prank you!

A few good pranks to get you started:
1. Prank calls. (Dial a random number and say:
“Hello, is your refrigerator running? Well, you
better go catch it!)
“Hello, is your refrigerator running? Well, you
better go catch it!)
Don’t do this one, unless you can block caller ID!
2. Tape a balloon to the back of someones tire.
When they back up and run over the tire, it will
pop and the driver will think they have a flat tire.

(As I mentioned before, don’t do this if you are
in the military and in a combat zone. Also, don’t do it to someone who
has PTSD. This could trigger flashbacks and other PTSD symptoms.)

4. Get a glow in the dark, neon necklace. Make
sure the necklace is glowing and form it into a
circle. Put the necklace around a black, Helium
filled balloon. Release the balloon into the air late at night down town in a big city where you are
sure a lot of people will see it. A bunch of people will call in to the airport
to report a UFO sighting! Make sure you don’t get caught doing this,
because you could get arrested for it!

6. Rearrange all the letters on the keyboard of
their computer. If the victim doesn’t know how to type without
their computer. If the victim doesn’t know how to type without
looking at the keys, this will really mess them up!
7. Tell the victim to look for something that really doesn’t even exist. In the
Army, we sent new
Privates to “grease muffler bearings on the
trucks”. Mufflers don’t have bearings! But they
still spent a long time attempting to grease them!

several pizzas and have them delivered to your
victim. Make sure you order nothing but
Anchovies on the pizzas!

9. Call the number: 867-5309. When someone answers, ask if you can speak to JENNY. (Remember the song from the 1980s? If not, you can look it up on YouTube.)
Use the old classics: Fake rat, Rubber cockroach,
fake vomit, woopie cushion, etc.
