    Here's a great one that I've done a few times! It does require a couple hours or over night to set.

    Take clear gelatin and mix it with about a cup of hot water to dissolve it - beware, it will stink. Quickly but carefully pour it into a toilet bowl full of water, mixing the whole time (it may look slightly yellow, but not much). Then leave it to set (at least two hours).

    This works especially well after a night of partying - the gelatin sets and when someone goes on the potty - however they go - it will sit on the top of the gelatin (which is clear).

    The best thing about this prank is that the gelatin can be easily broken up with a toilet brush and flushes with no damage to the plumbing.

    Reactions can be classic!

    When I was 13, my friend and I filled an old purse full of cat poop and put it on the side of the road. We watched out the window and sure enough, some guy stopped, picked it up, started walking back to his car, opened it, looked like he was going to puke and the threw it back on the road. It was pretty funny at the time. We also put a dummy and bike on the side of the road, but the cops ended up coming, so that wasn't a good idea. I saw on tv a simple prank to do is to empty someones deodorant and fill it back up with cream cheese. I should try that sometime.

    In the middle of the night, collect ALL the lawn ornaments from all off the neighbors lawns on the "prankee's" street block. Put ALL of the lawn ornaments on the "prankee's" lawn. Be back in the morning at an obscure location to watch and see what the "prankee" does when they realize they have all of their neighbor's lawn ornaments on their lawn. (Take Pictures! ) This is especially hilarious if their neighbors have things like wagon wheels, pink flamingo's, gnomes, wishing wells, flower pots, bird feeders, etc. It works best if there are a few of you to hustle things around quietly in the night : ) It IS harmless fun if you help return everything the next day!

    1) saranwrap over a toliet bowl but under the seat cover funny in middle of night potty runs. 2) place a pin hole in a ketchup condiment like at the fast food places. put it gently under the toliet seat with the pinhole facing into the toliet makes it appear as blood when mixed with the water and any excrement. 3) superglue a 50cent piece on a sidewalk or common walk area and watch the suckers try in vain to remove it.4) if you have stray cats in your area. catch/trap as many as u can, 2 or more works best. have a old suitcase or get one cheap from thrift store. put the cats in the bag and shake gently to awaken them and leave it in front of a greyhound station, train depot or any place with heavy foot traffic. when the thief grabs the bag and goes around the corner to open it the fun begins. better yet if they take it to a car and open it inside trapped with the strays. friend of mine did it and a car full of thugs went scrambling out afterwards , very very funny to watch and the cats dont get harmed. its peta safe lol.

    Wear all black and go up to people who are reading newspapers in airports. Stand infront of them until they look at you. Say "Don't get on the plane." with a completely serious face, pull out and put on sunglasses, and then walk away.

    It's hilarious.

    Dump some pwdered detergent into the toilet. The next time somebody flushes, soap suds will flood out of the toilet like an invasion army.

    P.S. It is funnier if they flush while sitting on the toilet.

    HAHAHA.......
