Ever pulled a good one or had one pulled on you??

Here's a couple to get us started.

When i was coaching a girls softball team one year I came up with a rubber rattlesnake somehow. Lots of fun hiding it under 3rd base and watching the girls pull up the base after practice; or putting it in the catchers helmet.... good times!

Best one pulled on me (that i can remember right now). We just got a new field on our campus. I was so excited, we had been practicing and playing about 8 miles from school and now the field was right out our backdoor! The main contractor, who was a crusty old guy who probably bid low and didn't take cr@p off anybody, was out on the field with his laser transit on the mound measuring to the back of home plate and he says, "Oh man that's perfect. 66 feet right on the nose!"

Well, I about puked and peed at the same time, everything is set, the mound, the foul poles, this is going to be a heckuva mess... 66 feet I say... Joe, it's supposed to be 60 feet 6 inches... and he says.... "Got ya didn't I"

Except when it's a real snake in the helmet! Happened to a football player down in Arkansas last year. He practiced for a part of practice with a snake in his helmet! They aren't sure how it got into the helmet...
Rubber snake is a classic but I've seen people get hurt with it. Some folks are so deathly afraid of snakes that they will literally hurl themselves away from them when surprised. There was a woman in the office that had one put in a drawer. An abulence was called because she was so scared and passed out that people were afraid she'd had a heart attack. That resulted in workplace harrasment training for everyone. D'OH! The culprit was never found although there was a short list of suspects.

The keys to the batters box is a new one. I like that a lot.

Seen SR catchers send FR/So pitchers to find the 1st base cover.
Really dumb but current...

After practice last night, I heard some of the boys excitedly talking amongst themselves... "Unicorn Run!"

I asked son later... they go to a drive-thru McDonalds and order softserve ice cream cones. When the person at the window hands them the cones, they plaster them to their foreheads and drive off, just looking for the reaction.

Apparently this evolved from last week's "coning tour" where they would go to similar establishments, order an ice cream cone, when the person at the window reached out to hand them the cone, they would grab the ice cream and leave the employee holding the empty cone. This ended when one run resulted in the employee threatening.. "Don't cone me!"

??? Oh well, as long as they are keeping it clean and harmless.
