"What we have here is, failure to communicate."

Of course the problem isn't spell check, all of the words are spelled correctly. We either have a case of drunkard typing, or another example in the long list of the intellectual differences between high school students from 10 years ago to now. Like Ted Knight said in Caddyshack, "The world needs ditch diggers too."

Those of us in the software field call it job security.


But to post on the topic, boots full of shaving cream are always fun. Bras and undies in the sleeves of coats so when people put their arm through it comes out in their hand.

We had wooden rolling racks at my department up north, with 1x3 slats as the top where we put our helmets. We bungie corded the one guy's helmet down so tight he couldn't tell the cord was there. Drop an apartment fire call and he grabs it, the rack starts rolling, he gets confused as all get out, puts his foot on the rack to keep it from moving, tries to pull the helmet off, it snaps out of his hands back to the rack, continues to curse, pull on the helmet. Finally thinks to unhook the cord. Meanwhile, we're laughing our a$$es off. The whole thing took about 10 seconds to play out so no time lost since we were waiting for others before we responded.

The ladies auxiliary bought tampon dispensers, and the manufacturer's logo was the shape of the shield on the front of the helmet. Said tampon in big letters. So we put it on the battalion chief's helmet. I think he walked around for about 5 minutes at a chimney fire before it was noticed.

LMAO One of all time favorite movie lines:D

[lieutleroy140]

One of my favorite movies as well, a must own for any serious comedy lover. Rodney, rest his soul....."Oh, this is the worst looking hat I've ever seen. Why I bet when you buy this you get a free bowl of soup. Oh, it looks good on you, though" (Rolls his bugged out eyes at Ted Knight). Someone may now pick up the ball on this one, as I think we could go for a LOOOONG time with this thread.

One of the most recent pranks I remember being a part of was when we gave cavecity114 such a hard time for his poor spelling and grammar, that we ran him right off the thread!:eek: cavecity114, tough'n up a little bit and come back here and enjoy being part of the fun!:D

[BC79er]

We only bust the stones of people we like. Easiest way to tell if you fit in around the station or not.

"Hey everybody, we're gonna get laid!"

God help us if we start a Mel Brooks or Monty Python thread...

[mcaldwell]

Did someone say SPAM? :D

Spam (http://bau2.uibk.ac.at/sg/python/Sounds/spam_song.au)

[docjordan]

Well 2 of the goods Ones I've been in on are, you can get some plus size womens underwear and put them on the outside of someone's bunker pants so when they pull them up they have underwear on the outside of their pants, usally have no idea it's there. The other is when someone go to do the #2, you put flour right in front of the door then turn a fan on and they come out looking white as a ghost.

[efd824]

Take a bag of LR, a metal clothes hanger, blood tubing, and a pressure infuser. Bend the hanger to fit under the door or in the cold air return and tape the tubing to the hanger. let it drip on them for a sec and then inflate the infuser. 2. a portable o2 tank, a glove, and o2 connect tube. tape the glove to the tubing, slide it under the door and let it go at 15 lpm. BOOM.....check for heart conditions first:D . 3. mouse traps in the boots work well...but...make sure the person you do this to is good hearted or you might find yourself in a bit of trouble. try and make it when your heading out for training or something cause when the alarm drops isn't the best time for that prank

[EastKyFF]

Le Petomane Freeway? What'll that a**hole think of next? Has anybody got a dime? Somebody's gotta go back and get a sh**load of dimes!

[BC79er]

It's twue, it's twue!

[ullrichk]

:D Don't make me break out the dead parrot routine. . .

[SFD3468]

Is it safe to say this thread has been hijacked?:D

[Weruj1]

Bages...............wedont need no stinkin baheeeshes !

[beastie35]

This is an old one for the FD's that Run EMS calls also.

Take a IV bag and place it under someone's pillow, then take the tubing and tape it or cut it so it will point directly at their face. Then when they go and put their tired head on their pillow *SPLASH* they get hit in the face with it!
But that aint all folks. Take fishing line and tie one end to the opposite side of the bag and the other end to a bucket of flour that is up in the ceiling. Then when they go to throw the bag or at you they get a faceful of flour!

[jdl123]

Get this, just last go-round, the sorry bastards put a pigeon in my overnight bag, overnight!! That damn thing **** all in my bag. I was stunned when I opened the bag and saw a pigeon hanging out in there. Didn't know what to think.
But I got 'em back; I used their deodorant on my balls and ass.

[fightn15]

Well I have had airhorns blown, Sheriff's Department came in one night and beat on his brother in law, it was funny. Filling someones pillow case with toilet paper and removing his pillow. I had one of my partners put a dead rabbit on my car on the antenna. So one day when he was working OT, I came back at like 3am and completely wrapped his Expedition in fire line tape. Another time we picked up a guys truck in the rear end just barely. he tried to drive away and the rear wheels just spun, he got mad but it was funny.

:eek: ROFLMFAO!!!!:D :D :D

But it's only good if he finds out (so you and everyone else can rub it in). How you gonna let him know without getting punched? :p

[firejunky44]

what about kool-aid in the bunker boots. once your feet get alittle damp the feet will stay the color for a couple of days.
Also when someone is taking a dump throw some amonia under the stall door(but be sure that it is not someone with no kuth,or someone that will pick up a log and hurl it at you(did happen here on the Memphis Fire Dept.)
Or the flameing paper roll under the stall door.
I have heard stories of in the ol' day people haveing their bunker boots nailed to the floor. Or fill someones(better results on darker people)pillow case full of flour.oh I could go on and on.

One rule that ALL must adhere to is that "Gear that is needed for the job is off limits".
I am one hell of a prankster but I don't go near the gear.

[firenresq77]

Ditto on the no screwing with gear.......

[emsbrando]

We had a guy we really didn't like and after a big supper he was always good for a sit in the bathroom. So we put saran wrap on the porcelin part of the toilet and put the lid down. Sure enough he ate supper, went to the bathroom and crapped all over himself. (Yep my bad.)

You can take one of those take out catsup foil bags, fold it, put it under the rear of the toilet seat, put a pinhole in it and when they sit on the seat it squirts them in the keester. (Been there done that, got the T shirt.)

Better yet, take two ammonia caps, put them under the toilet seat pegs, and when they sit on that it breaks them and takes their breath away. (Been there, done that, needed another shirt.)

Then we took the slats out of an older top bunk and placed the mattress on it very carefully. Makes more noise than we thought with someone on it riding the mattress down to the crash. (Guillty as charged, pled insanity.)

Had one tell me I could never get the best of him so while he was sleeping, I got some suture material from the hospital and sewed his pants to the chair. (Been there done that, needed the matching cap to go with the shirts.)

We had a trainer that we were always playing tricks on and he wanted to ride with us and evaluate me and my partner. So we got a call for a prety bad wreck on the interstate, told him to get in Unit 5 and we got in Unit 6 and took off. He still laughs about that one. (passed my eval anyway.)

I may have more in a while.

I certify that all of the above were done without any danger to animals.

:rolleyes:

[Station2Capt]

Ed,

Can I do that last one on one of your students next time they come out and ride at Station 2 in Longview

[Weruj1]

today I witnessed some of the finest acts of tomfoolery I have ever seen in almost 18 years. On a call this am before dayshift begins a FF came in that didnt make the call. He brought in his navy unform shirt, and as his usual routine proceeds to FURIOUSLY lint brush it, then he goes off to perfom the daily rig check on the remaning medic unit in the station. So..................whats some of the other poeples do ?

Well first someone went to the dryer and got a laundered towel and rubbed it all over his shirt.

Turned his badge and name tag upside down on his shirt.

Found a roll of duct tape and left his 'beaner out and proceeded to ball up the keys and remotes for his truck and "wrap 'em up"....then hid that under his shirt.

Got a packet of water soluble lube and applied it to the rim of his Gatorade bottle, then oh so carefully wrapped some Scotch brand tape around the lid to prevent it from being unscrewed.

Some of tried to hang around and see what would happened when he discovered it and as of lunchtime today he hadnt !

[emsbrando]

Station2Capt:

Let me know how it works. I bet the student will remember you guys for a long time.

The only problem with the pranks was that one day I knew I had to sleep and not be able to keep one eye open.

We used to go and send all the new flight nurses for a bucket of rotor wash.

We sent a secretary to maintenance for a left handed screwdriver and then back to get the sights adjusted on our hammers since we were missing the nails. She still didn't catch on but maintenance put a stop to it when she insisted on a metric cresent wrench.

Have a good one, and a safe one.

Ed
