Who doesn't love striking fear into the hearts of other men?
There’s not a whole lot funnier than the ol’ fake-a-shark-attack-and-terrify-a-crowded-beach-full-of-weak-swimmers prank. Unless someone drowns, I suppose. That would be somewhat less funny, if some poor idiot panicked and latched onto a nearby wader and drug them both down to Davy Jones’ locker.
Hard to wring a chuckle when you’re trying to force life into a cyanotic hunk of flesh.
But the shark attack prank was obviously fake, or so highly edited as to make it essentially so. Which is too bad, I’m a huge fan of mean spirited pranks.
Like the setting-your-ex-girlfriends-house-on-fire prank.
(Click here to read!) Fucking classic!
And is there anything more hilarious than the legendary pretend-to-break-into-a-relative’s-house-and-get-shot-in-the-face prank? I think not!
What about setting a sleeping homeless guy on fire? (Click here!) Good times! That’s the kind of stuff that makes for a fond memory and a hearty chuckle in your declining years.
Who can forget that time you tried to drown a classmate in a toilet and then crushed his larynx?
(Click here!) Ah, to be a kid again. Youth is truly wasted on the young.
I can’t begin to remember all the times my friends and I laughed ourselves hoarse after pulling off a successful jump-onto-a-moving-train-and-accidentally-electrocute-yourself prank.
But pranks aren’t just for having a good time at another person’s expense. They can also make the work day just a little more bearable. Don’t believe me? Try starting a prank war with a co-worker. If past examples are any indication you’ll be in for guffaws galore.

Ok, the first time I thought it was mean.
The second time I thought it was hilarious.
