we were only married about 6 months. the inlaws had yet to see how nuts I was. they are VERY straight laced.

had a 60th wedding party for my mom in laws folks. we all got rooms at the hotel, and when I show up I get the inlaws room number. call them and tell them each week we have a drawing, for a free supper. steak salad dessert, choice of veggie...the whole 9 yards.

I take the order and get it all correct. inlaws are bragging it up something fierce.....my plan was to leave two hotdogs on a tray for their meal, but my brother in law spilled the beans before I could get it done.

they still tell me I owe them a steak over the deal!

most of my other pranks are probably best not suited here.... except if you want to get a guy good....use a funnel and put baby powder in his vents in the summer or defroster in the winter.......he hits the blower fan and POOF! instant fun!!

I have a friend that I didn't know real well but we had another friend that was close to each of us so we knew each other pretty well. Well, he made it up with my other buddie (both single) to tell me that this woman here we all know kept asking about me (I've been verily happily married to a beautiful wife for years) and they thought she was interested in me..yada, yada..and how good looking she was , yada, yada. I knew they were lieing but anyway as is common for me , I told my wife. She didn't think it was that funny but said I should get them back. We made it up for her to call him. He doesn't really know her at all and calls her Mrs. (last name) and is real respectable to her , anyway, she called him and said she didn't appreciate him trying to set me up with a woman. She said she was getting older and can't keep up with the new comers like she used to etc. She told him ever since our last trouble it's been difficult (we've never had trouble) to keep our marriage together and (acting like she's almost in tears) she doesn't appreciate anyone trying to break our family up, with the kids and all , how sorry she thought that was of him. He assured her that I was true blue and never would do anything like that and it was a joke. She said it was just like this girl and she knew it was true.She said she failed to see the humor in encouraging me to relive my past (which I never had) and that she'd appreciate it if he'd leave our family alone. :lol: She hangs up on him. He calls our other buddie and gives him the delima . I had told this third buddie what we were doing so he played along and said my wife had called to get his number and sounded upset. He better call me. Well he called and I said I'd just got off the phone to her and knew the deal, why didn't he tell her it was a joke. He said he tried but she wouldn't listen. I told him she was going down to his this girls workplace to give her a piece of her mind. His Xwife worked there and he said he was starting to feel the scours coming on. I told him the only way to resolve the issue was go down and tell the woman my wife was coming there and tell her the whole story and there was going to be trouble. :lol: He said he was too scared to go alone and that with his x wife there he just couldn't go alone and wanted me to go with him. I said alright and hung up the phone after setting up the meeting place. I gave him about 5 minutes and called him back. He wouldn't speak to me for a month or two and (so my other buddie says) it's still a sore spot. :lol2:

I guess these all aren't very funny on a computer but we enjoied them at the time.

I had a few calves to sell and this same friend a few months later was hauling calves for me. Our other friend told me he questioned the scale at the fella I was selling to the last load he sent and asked if I cared to weight my load to check him. I said that's fine. I knew what I thought my calves weighed anyway but we loaded my buddie out and he went ahead to the feed store and scaled the load. I closed the gates and followed him there. The calves were heavier than I thought but he assured me they weighed that so off we go to the buyer. When we scaled them they were lighter than what we just weighed them at but weighed close to what I had thought they weighed. I questioned the buyer and said we just weighed the load at the feed store didn't we (my buddies name) and he sheepisly said yep and walked off. The man said his scales were right. I said if you say they're right, pay me. I guess I was thinking in the back of my mind that they should have weighed that anyway. He had lied about what my calves weighed at the feed store. It worked out ok and he thought it was real funny . I didn't think it was all that funny and could have caused a real stir since my other buddie put me up to thinking the scales were off anyway. Alls well that ends well.

When my little brother got married, I was in charge of taking care of his car (since I could be trusted) :lol: I took out their luggage and found some clothes at the church they used for Biblical costumes during church programs. I was going to swap the clothes but my mother found out and had a hissy fit. The wedding was starting and she had to go but gave me the very sharp warning that I shouldn't do that . I didn't but always regretted it... I did steal all his underwear and he had to pay a high price for new ones in a Vegas motel.

This is quite long, but YOU asked! I had to tell both, so you would understand the second one.

And Carl still hasn't gotten even.

A few years ago my wife, who worked at a well known western store, had a phone conversation with a man by the name of Dick, who was a “higher up” in an advertising agency. During the course of the conversation, Dick mentioned that he would like to find someone who would act as a guide, for a photographer, who would be coming out to our area. My wife said that I might be interested. The upshot of all this is, that Dick sent a feller by the name of Carl out to our ranch. Carl stayed for about six days and took lots of pictures and we became pretty fair friends.
During his stay, I found out that Carl had a real good sense of humor and loved a good practical joke, as much as I did. I also found out that Dick, was not only a business associate of Carl's, but was also a close friend. So we decided that the proper thing to do was to play a real good joke on Dick, for his and our amusement, of course.
Turns out that Dick was a fan of old, International pickups and had been looking for a particular make and model of one. This would be the basis for our joke. Carl made me memorize all that I would need to know about just such a pickup and exactly what it looked like. When he thought I had this all down cold, we went into my house and called Dick.
Dick and I visited about how the photo shoot was going and after a bit I told him that this was sure going to be a good deal for me, as Carl had bought an old, International pickup from me, and that I thought he had given me a pretty fair price for it. Dick wanted to know all about the pickup. I gave him a long and involved story all about this “phantom” pickup and how it was in such good shape and was still quite road worthy. Dick immediately told me to not sell it to Carl. I told him that I was a man of my word and couldn’t back out on a deal, once I’d given someone my word of honor. He almost begged me to stop the deal, in any way I could. So I asked if he thought Carl was cheating me, or what? Maybe Dick would get more money for me?

Instantly his voice changed from a man who thought he’d lost out on the deal of a lifetime, to one of a man who is about to cheat some poor country bumpkin and screw over a good freind, all in one fell swoop! I’d told him that Carl had agreed to $500. Dick suavely told me that he thought he might be able to get me $1000 or perhaps even $1500. At that time, I told him that Carl had just happened to walk into the house. “Let me talk to him!,” was Dicks intense reply.
All of this time, Carl was setting and listening to the conversation I was having with Dick. But he pretended that he had just walked in the house, all of the time trying not to laugh. We had Dick sweatin’! He’d bought this story, hook, line and sinker!
Dick and Carl visited for a little bit about Carls shoot when all of a sudden, Carl told him that he’d found a pickup, just like Dick had been looking for. “I think I can get it bought for you, for $2500”, Carl told him. I’ve never seen anyone jerk a phone away from their ear, as fast as Carl did right then! I could hear Dick cussing at Carl and calling him all kinds of rude names, with references to his family. And I was setting, clear across the room!
Of course, Dick didn’t think that Carl realized, that he, Dick, already knew how much Carl had supposedly paid me for this very same pickup. So he thought that Carl was trying to cheat him bad. And he was also mad that Carl had gotten to me first, and cheated me so bad, and that he, Dick, had missed out on cheating a poor country bumpkin! It was a great joke.

Finally, Carl let Dick off from the hook and let him know that it all was just a real good, practical joke. Carl and I laughed for the next several days on what a good job we’d done, fooling Dick. All right, so we both have a sick sense of humor!
Carl eventually got done takin’ pictures and went home. One year passed and again, Carl had his camper parked in my yard, staying on the ranch so I could take him around to take more pictures. One morning, after Carl had been here a couple of days, I went out to his camper to see if he was ready to take off and get some more shots. He told me that he had to do a few things in the camper, but that he’d be done in a few minutes and would come in the house to use the phone. He needed to call his wife, Kay. He stated that she would be angry with him, because he hadn’t called her the night before. I went back into the house and was workin’ on some leather when I suddenly had a thought.

Carl liked the joke we’d pulled on Dick, the year before so well, that I just knew he’d love one, even if it was pulled on him!

I quick called Kay and explained to her, what I had in mind. Lovely women that she is, she caught right on and said that she had the perfect plan. She asked how long this joke should last, so I told her to just get him hooked and reel him up to shore, and then let him slip off the hook. Meaning that she should let him know it was just a joke, before he got off the phone.
To make this all clear to the reader, you should probably know that in front of Carl and Kay’s house, there is a long line of old, old oak trees. Like 125 to 135 years old. Huge, grand oak trees that Carl loves. Beyond the tree's is a public road, that the state was going to add on to the shoulder of. Carl had sold them a 9 foot easement, against his will, because he figured that if he didn’t sell, the state would just condemn the property anyway. But he wasn’t very happy about it. Worried about his trees, I suppose.
So eventually Carl came in the house and called Kay. They visited for a short spell while I pretended to ignore the conversation. Soon the tone of Carls voice changed and he started to sound more concerned and angry. Suddenly he looked at me with a sick expression on his face and said,” You know my trees? The oaks I told you about? They cut them down! The S.O.B’s cut them down!”
He continued to talk to Kay and he got angrier and angrier. Suddenly he told her that he couldn’t talk anymore and slammed the phone down and started to pace around the house, all the while keeping up a constant verbal assault against anyone and everyone involved with the desecration of his beloved oak trees! I tried to console him, but he wasn’t having any of it. I started to worry that this might not be a joke, as Kay was supposed to let him off the hook. Either that or she had and he was just keeping up an act, for my benefit. So that he could turn the joke around on me, so to speak. He went on and on. I wanted to call Kay and find out if this was just a joke or if the trees had actually been cut down. Carl finally left the house, muttering to himself. I ran to the phone and called Kay up and asked if this was just a joke. She said that it was. I was very relieved and told her that we had him going good. What a bright and wonderful women! I instantly fell in love with her and envied Carl, though I was sure glad that he was the one married to her at the moment!
Carl came back in the house in a few minutes and said that he would have to call Kay back. I sat and worked on leather and tried not to laugh and I sure kept my face turned away from him, so he couldn’t see me smile. Carl began to visit with Kay, when all of a sudden, he slammed the phone down and turned to me and began to cuss and pound on my shoulders with his fists! Kay had let him know it was a joke. I was laughing so hard that tears were running down my face and I couldn’t even protect myself from this assault. This went on for about 5 or 10 minutes, before I got control of myself and Carl quit abusing me. I’d quit laughing, when all of a sudden, it would strike me funny and I’d break up again. It was wonderful!
As the remaining days of Carls stay passed, I’d make sure to let everyone we met, know about the joke and how bad I’d gotten Carl. Of course Carl made it plain that he would get revenge, and that it would be when I least expected it. Perhaps several years down the road. I’d just laugh and tell him it was worth it. And it was. But.......if I should die in some sort of freakish, implausible way, I want the authorities to be sure and check up on Carl. ‘Cause he’s probably behind it! Or for that matter, if Kay, Carls wife should have some sudden or unexplained accident, the authorities better check into that too. Carl swore revenge on her, also. But I still think it was worth it! Yeah, sure it was. Wasn’t it?

At the time greg was training stock dogs,so we had sheep. Greg hated the sheep but were nessasary for the training. We went away to a rescue competition for the weekend. When we got home greg noticed the sheep huddled into a corner,Greg sent our dog Jake to bring them in,when he brought them to greg the sheep were spray painted floresent orange.

About a month later greg got a parcel in the mail...it was a pair of rubber boots and gloves with velcro glued to the palms of the gloves...the velcro full of sheep wool. On the box it was written Gregs dog training kit. :shock:

Yes we have VERY warped friends.

Greg played this joke on his brother.Bob had just started raising Appys. He had a really well bred mare,bred to a awesome Appy stud{so he said} He was sooo excited about this colt,it was born pure black not a spot on it. He was disappointed but loved the little guy. Greg and his two younger brothers went over to Bobs in the night,with a can of white spray paint,sprayed on a few real nice white spots to the colts butt. Bobs wife tells how excited he was when he got up and saw white spots on the colt...until he realised it was paint.

We've had lots of practical jokes pulled on us, and we've pulled some as well, of course.

The one I remember was when we were living on the ranch east of
Buffalo, Wyoming. We had high school kids working for us. They liked
to sleep outside on the lawn in the summetime. We were down to
one kid I think, and he was a very good friend. In fact, it was his dad
that helped us get started in the ranching business. This kids name was
Joe, and he was as cute as a kid could be.

One night, he goes out to go to bed and undresses as usual,
in the porch, leaving his clothes there. I was up very early and went
out to get something out of the freezer, when I saw his clothes on
top of the freezer, where he'd put them the night before.

Well, the practical joke light went on in my mind, and I put all of his clothes INSIDE the freezer.

Pretty soon I heard Joe in the porch looking for his clothing,
and at the same time, a car full of Jehovah Witnesses drove up. Poor Joe, he couldn't run outside
for they were there, and he couldn't run in the house, because I
was in the kitchen and he had to run by me.
Being a teenager then, and in only your undershorts, and facing
being seen by people was a very ticklish situation.

He opted for the house.

Ran through there like he was on fire.

Gosh, it was funny!!!!!!!! Turned out better than I'd ever hoped
for and I believe it was the only time those JW showed up at the right time!

BOY! Could I write a book on this topic!!

A girl I was dating once - a few years back - was a real prankster, or so she thought. Well, she lived just down the street from the tavern, and wanted to go home early. Me and my buddies were having a grand old time, so I told her I was staying, but I'd walk down to her place in good time. She was a little sore at me apparently, because when I got there, she had locked me out. I figured oh well, and went to my truck, but as I reached for the door handle, I got a handful of grease, slipped backwards and landed in a snow bank. So, not to be outdone, I grabbed her snow shovel from the back step, opened the back door on her little Chevy Blazer, and packed it from front to back with snow. When she came out in the morning to head to the feedlot where she worked, she opened the door to find her interior was one big block of ice.

Then another night, a buddy and me jacked that same Blazer up maybe a half inch off the street and put it on blocks. She fired it up in the morning to go to the feedlot and couldn't figure out why it wouldn't go. She had called her Dad and a few people, who all told her it must be the tranny, before she looked underneath. You can probably guess who she phoned next. :twisted: :twisted:

Then of course, there's a few dozen times where some colleagues and I have helped ourselves into the homes of friends when they were away on vacation. To be there and see their faces though, when they come in and see their furniture all upside down. And we don't stop there. Dishes, cups, glasses, pots, pans, pictures on the wall, deer heads, beds, you name it. One bachelor friend, after turning his whole house topsy-turvy, the last thing we did was gobbed Udder Balm on the door handle going out of the house. So, after spending the better part of a Saturday cleaning and putting his house back together, he went to head in to town to find the guilty culprits and got a handful of goo! :lol:

That is funny! The other day I was watching a heifer in corral and I sleep days so I got up in my underwear and went out to check her every few hours. I kept thinking how bad that would suck to get caught by someone driving up the driveway. I even had my escape route figured incase it happened to go hide in barn. :lol:

My favourite one resulted in the worst grounding Ive had in a while :p.

Me and dad were out in November of last year, whtietail hunting. He said, Im going to sleep for 10 minutes, try some calling. Well, he slept for his ten minutes, times three, and when I tried to wake him up, he said, In 5 minutes. I let him sleep another five minutes, and snuck over the the sdehill 15 or so yards away, and with my gun, I rifled three shells into that suidehill as fast as I could, only to have dad hop up and start yelling and cussing and grounding me. It lasted for almost three months if I remember correctly. :p
