If you had to pick one prank/practical joke that you would consider the gown jewel of your pranking career what would it be?
For me I have to share the credit with my younger brother. We stood in the middle of a carnival midway (we were with the show and on break) and stared at the sky, pointing and mumbling "What on earth is that?" After a few minutes there were actually quite a few people standing with us acting as if they could really see something. At this point I very loudly say "What are you sheep looking at there is nothing there?" and ran like H E L L. My brother almost wet his pants laughing. I was just so blown away at how many people actually fell for it.
O.k. your turn pranksters. Let's hear what you've got.

LOL! One night my friends and I had been drinking at my house, it was me and 3 others. It was getting kind of late and I didn't want to play music in my house and some of my friends wanted to go outside to smoke. So we were sitting in my car (just as I had planned to be). One of my best friends was on her way home from college in Pennsylvania and she was with her boyfriend. I was texting them from my cell phone to set up my plan. When they arrived they parked their car a few streets away and walked towards my house. When they let me know they were at the end of my driveway I started to get my 3 friends scared. I kept saying things like 'did you hear that' or 'omg I think someone's out there'. At first they were just a little creeped out but then the car started shaking and my best friend darted past my car. My friends in the car started screaming for me to turn the car on and hit them but I was just pretending to be scared too. Eventually my friend's boyfriend stuck his hand in to grab one of the people in the backseat. The guy in the back seat actually jumped over the front seat into the front of the car and the person who was in the passanger seat was crawled up on the floor infront of the seat crying. They were genuinely terrified! Eventually my 2 friends showed that it was only them and the friends I pulled the prank on were sooo mad! They always say that they are going to get me back since I took it so far but they haven't yet lol!

OMG! 
. How old were you when you did this? Did your parents find out? I don't do practical jokes, my dad would have beat us within an inch of our lives if we would have. I guess he doesn't remember the stories that his mother has told me about him and jokes.

I was 14 and my brother was 11 and my mom did find out. One of the guys didn't think it was too funny so we ran to her ticket booth and hid under her feet till the guy was escorted out for getting out of hand, he was drunk. My mom was too busy laughing at the looks on our faces when we ran up to her to get mad, though I doubt she would have gotten too upset. She's quite the prankster herself. I have the mom that if you are in her house on April fools day you reach for the salt when you want sugar, always check the toilet for plastic wrap before you sit down, and don't believe a word she says unless she can prove it. I got her really good one year, I called her to tell her I was pregnant with my third kid (I had known for 2 weeks but was saving it for this) she's all "Oh yeah sure" and tells me she expected a little more originality than that from me. Then I showed up with an ultra sound pic. She still didn't believe me until I pointed out the date on it. Yup I got her with reverse phsycolagy and it was so worth the wait. That's just our family we are all a little on the silly side. I meen for goodness sake they did name me Freedom.

LOL That's so funny. My mom is crazy on April Fools Day too. I won't even call her because she can't stop herself, and talking to her makes me crazy lol. The people she works with hate working with her, and now for some reason she is now always off on April 1st no matter what day of the week it is on lol. It must have been great growing up with your parents
