Ever have a practical joke go wrong....

I don't think it was the font that was keeping them from reading it...

This really happened to one of my colleagues. She was the resident on OB call. They called her stat to the ER for an "emergency delivery" in the middle of the night. When she got down to the ER, they led her to one of the gyn rooms where there was a woman on the table in stirrups, and what looked like blood spattered all over, and what appeared to be an infant in a bucket. The ER doc told her that it was "too late" to save the baby, but, she needed to attend to the "mother". She was hyperventilating, she was in such a panic. It wasn't until she lifted the sheet that she noticed that the "mother" was fully clothed in scrubs, and furthermore, the "baby" was an infant CPR dummy. I guess the ER staff had way too much time on their hands that night!

Are you from the west coast? Maybe it was this way all over the country, but in Oregon we were obsessed with Bigfoot. And the picking berries.

Central Canada, loved berry pickin'--and in the 70's Bigfoot was responsible for tearing bumpers off of cars, killing animals, molesting young woman picking berries---it was cra-a-a-z-z-y!! At 6 y.o. I believed it all
Hail almighty BIGFOOT!!

Yep, Bigfoot was up to a lot of trouble!

When my sister was in college, a guy on her floor used to go in her room without asking and steal her food. One day we thought we'd teach him a lesson, so I made up a batch of brownies, but added a hefty dose of Ex-Lax to the mix. Of course, he mooched the brownies, but then got really sick. Deathly ill. My sister felt so bad, she had to 'fess up. Well, the lesson must have had some effect, 'cause the guy went into the seminary is now a non-food-mooching priest!

Another joke that didn't go as planned...When I was teaching, my friend and I played tricks on each other all the time. While she was out of her classroom, I put a Frederick's of Hollywood catalog on her gradebook. Later she came in and found it, but blamed a custodian who was always lurking around, making suggestive comments to her. She even filed a harrassment complaint with our department chair. Again, I had to 'fess up.

And the best one...My husband and I were roommates one summer at college. (Purely platonic at that point--he was dating someone else) I used to tease him about women's sanitary products (he was never allowed to look under the sink at his house because of the feminine napkins under there!). So when I moved out, I left a few products stuck to the wall, with a few choice sayings written on them. Of course, who should find them but his mother. (She never did like me!)

happybratpack, OMG, your poor mother! I'm speechless, but still laughing. So she never found out the truth? If not, you might just want to forget that it ever happened. Yep, think you might have a ticket to hell for that one.

She never found out, I think she is suspicious of the guys involved though. I find that it's best just to stick to my original plan of denial.

This wasn't intentional but it is a pretty funny story:

My mom is deathly afriad of creepy crawly bugs (like spiders). The Holloween when I was 5 or 6 I got one of those black plastic spider rings. My mom made me promise that I was going to clean it up and I reassured her I would. When the house was dark, my mom saw this huge spider on the floor and freaked out. She called my dad who wasnt home at the time (at work of course). He suggested that she throw a tupperware on top of it (its his solution till he can come home and kill it usually). So she stood about 20 feet away and threw tupperwares until one landed on top of it. She fell asleep worried that the spider would be able to escape.

She wakes up with the huge spider hanging over her head by its legs. My dad was holding my spider ring. He was laughing and asked her "is this that huge spider you were so concerned about?" She was freaking out. I got yelled at a lot for that one. No more spider rings allowed in the house- ever.

She still has nightmares over waking up to that ring.
