Good god, don't get me started. Being in CE circles, i saw pranks that ranged from the simple turn of a knob, to involving heavy equipment.

Some examples off the top of my head:

- turning a radio knob up all the way after shutting off a work truck.

- a large zip tie borrowed from an electrician that was fastened on the drive shaft of a truck. Makes it sound like the U joint is out.

- Fire crackers thrown into the catch tray while wielding or cutting something. Once the splatter hit's it, the fire crackers go off, scaring the bejesus out of you. The smaller "chinese firecrackers" can make it sound like your having a flashback going into the gas lines of a cutting torch, which REALLY scares the crap out of you.

- Coming back from lunch and then finding your tool belt suspended 30 to 50 feet in the air from an I-beam.

- Finding your tool box glued to the floor with a tube of Henry's adhesive.

- Oxy-acetelyne bombs by using either a hospital condom, or an AAFES cup. Makes a large boom to scare the crap out of everyone.

- During an exercise, duck tape a sound sleeper to their cot and haul them outside somewhere and leave them.

etc etc.
