Share your best prank played by you, and one that was played on you.

I once paged a large group of my colleagues to an Asian "massage parlour" at the same time. The receptionist was apparently not pleased with the rapid influx of calls from my department.

I thought this was very clever.

I got our sr enlisted guy and some PC maintenance guys to come into the office, make everyone stand in the hallway (with the door open so everyone could see and hear what was happening), "find the computer with kiddie porn" on it and haul away a guy explaining that the local police force would arrive in about 20min, it's out of their hands, and he was up for a possibly a life sentence.

....good times.

My friend's 7-year-old DD short-sheeted their bed. I thought that was pretty good for a little kid...

When I was back in college living with a couple of my buddies, I got together with my room mate's girlfriend for a prank. She called him at work sounding really upset and repeatedly asked him if he was coming straight home after work. She did a great job of sounding on edge. Then we went to Wal-mart, picked up a pregnancy test and filled in a blue line with a marker. You can see where it went from there. Once he figured it out I had to dodge a full running tackle, and buy him a couple of beers. I've never seen any one sweat like that before.

A while back I work with a guy who was obsessed with his new car... a fully loaded Firebird Formula (told you it was a while back). We worked in a data center with no windows so he could not see the car while at work. After I got home from work, I had my girlfriend call into the command center and ask for him. She explained that she was a dispatcher for the local police department and needed to talk to him about his car. Seems that it had been stolen from the parking lot and used in a robbery in town. She needed him to come to the scene where the car had been abandoned and verify if the damage to the car was new. I could hear him across the room screaming 'No way!!!' She told him that he needed to talk to the Sargent about the details and put me on the phone. After I said 'Hey, April Fools' He slammed the phone down. After he calmed down, he called and congratulated me on a game well played.

Similar to that one - I worked at a grocery store in high school as one of the "baggers". One of the guys stole a coworkers car and moved it to another portion of the parking lot. Just to make matters worse, one of the guys stuck a potato in the tailpipe and we shrink wrapped the entire car. People drove through the shopping center all day laughing hysterically. Someone called from the floral department and told him they were the police and the car had been stolen and wrecked. He went running to the parking lot and sure enough the car was gone. He was a basket case all day. once his shift was over a friend offered to drive him home. The parking lot was empty except for his car which looked like a wrapped christmas present. He nearly died.
