I went home at lunch and finished mowing. I hope none of my neighbors were home having "lunch" while the kiddies were at school.

A couple of years ago we were going to have a guy I knew join our group. Everybody wanted to know about him and I told them that he was a good guy blah blah, but one thing is he's 80% deaf. It was a good 3 days of.."WELCOME ABOARD"..."HI MY NAME IS TOM"...good times.

I took the an old PC microphone from my parts stash and set it beside the fax machine, with the cord running back behind the machine. It wasn't hooked up to anything, but it looked good.

One of my coworkers came in, read the sign, and proceeded to spend the next five minutes trying to "voice-activate" the fax. Each time, her voice got a little louder. The rest of us just about exploded from trying to keep straight faces... until we simply couldn't stand it any more and all cracked up.

That reminds me of the "Save the Whales" Star Trek where Scotty tried talking into the mouse.

Hahahah ... damn, that one has me smiling. I'm not sure which is funnier, the image of the victim's wet ass or the knowledge that the fairer sex is taking such delight in this prank.

Broncoholic's deaf prank sounds funny as hell too.

Selling cars, the stories are a dime a dozen, sometimes funny, sometimes malicious.

One funny one was years ago when CellPhones were a luxury. This clown was a criminal and everyone knew it but management...

anyway, we got his cell phone number, and we would call the guy on the land line thru the dealership with a fake lead, like, "I need a landcrusier, can you get me one..." At the same time, we would ring his cell phone and try to sell him Slick 50. Try to make him a franchisee.

It's was literally gut busting. We pulled the stunt a dozen times and he never got it.
