A couple1.Duke of Edinburgh expedition, found a sun-bleached ram's skull in perfect condition, we stored it away until night time, then 3 of us waited till the girls were just about sleeping, stuck a maglite in the hole for the spinal column, slowly and quietly unzipped their tent and stuck it through on the torch. Then switched the maglite on and went 'WooooOOOoo' then pissed ourselves as their tent collapsed.
2. My granddad was a big practical joker. One morning he told his workmates that he was depressed and that he was going to end it all. They all thought he was taking the mickey out of them until they came out of the canteen and found him dangling from a noose just outside the works canteen. They all rushed off, got the foreman and the work's doctor, only to come back and find him sitting on an empty oil barrel, pissing himself with laughter. What he did was got a long bit of rope, noosed it, threw it over a railing, head in noose and gripping the other end tightly behind his back. Then just before everyone came out of the canteen he kicked the oil barrel he was standing on, away. After that he just had to cling on tightly to the rope to counter-balance himself. My Granddad had a sick sense of humour
