Need an idea for a prank

[PatriotGame]

Har de freakin har--that was funny during the second week of "A" school, maybe.

Of course, nowadays that'd be enough to get your ass canned or time off at the very least.

Although it's always a hoot to go up to someone who has left their computer unlocked and put a whole bunch of "safe for work" but tasteless websites into their browser favorites, like the Obama campaign, gay magazines, the local anti-nuke groups, etc...

In my electronics engineering school at Idaho State University, one of our lab projects was to build a D.C. power supply. We were handed a sheet of specs - typically 120V A.C. input and 12-15V D.C. output with an A.C. ripple of less than 'X'mV P-P as measured with a scope, and, a small bag of a few parts: Step-down transformer, ELECTROLYTIC (polarized capacitor), four diodes for the full-wave rectifier, and Zener diode for regulation. We had to choose out own parts from a parts bin for a pi filter.

A chick in my class - 35 years old, three times divorced, four kids, on a 100% free tuition, books and supplies, three bedroom off campus apartment, food, and spending cash ride courtesy the federal and state government WHICH she continually bragged about.
SHE WAS HELEN THOMAS BUTT UGLY TOO! I hated her guts, not because she was ugly, because she was downright MEAN with a poisonous attitude to boot. Everyone hated her - she was just sour.

LAB TIME!!!

She works on her power supply project through lunch for two days, bread-boarding, drawing schematics, recording her calculations as required, then announcing to the entire two 30 student classes in the lab that SHE was finished and ready to power-up her project.

Everyone gathers around - she powers-up the A.C. - the POLARIZED capacitor which was about 4" long and 1" in diameter, was connected BACKWARDS!!
As she hovers over hey 'project' with voltmeter probes in hand...

KA-BOOM!

She looks up, a cloud of smoke obscures her head, her long, greasy kinky blond hair FILLED with waxy capacitor dielectric paper confetti! I should have known something was up when the teacher, as pre-powered required, checked her connections, schematics, and calculations, then stepped back about 10', and said, "go ahead, fire it up!"

Holy shit! The ensuing laughter from EVERYONE was epic! She stormed out of the lab and didn't return for two days. We thought she dropped out.

Needless to say, her new name, coined be me of "Ka-Boom-Boom" stuck for the remaining semester!

These are some great ideas!   I am going to use the capacitor one on my brother in law this Christmas.  However, the wife, knowing her primitive family members better than any of us would dare to want to know, has hatched the best idea so far, and it only came to her tonight.

Around seven or eight months ago, through a mutual friend, we befriended and helped out a guy close to my age that was having a very hard time in life financially. He is one of the nicest people you would ever care to run into on the face of the earth.  He has no family or friends (other than our mutual friend) in this area that he would wish to visit (a very long and sad story) for Thanksgiving, so we invited him to come and hang out with my side of the family for our typical all-day Thanksgiving bash.

We had to fit the wife's family in somewhere, and since she is about as enthused as I am about visiting them, we put them in at the beginning of the day to get the whole ordeal over with (as usual).  After visiting her family, we were going pick up my friend, and go out to my parents.  This is where the wife's plan come in:

Her family, being indistinguishable from the type of proto-human primitives you see parusing the DUmp on a daily basis, are also tolerant-in-spirit only types, which is to say that they are very, very tolerant of all types of shapes, sizes, and colors of their fellow man, so long as they are white caucasian.  Most importantly, blacks and hispanics need not apply (in that order).   

Now, all the wife suggested was that we call ahead to her parents, and make a tiny change to the order of things for the day; which is to say, pick up our friend first, instead of going to her family first.  Her family has heard about our friend, and knows enough about him to be reasonably comfortable with having him over for dinner.  The one tiny detail we never thought to mention to them before is that my friend is as black as a big old lump of coal.

Being the laid back type that my friend is, he is chomping at the bit to go.  He plans on walking right up to the racist-in-charge (the wife's stepfather), and shaking his hand and introducing himself.   

What will I do in the meantime?  Try not to piss my pants waiting for Thanksgiving to arrive. 

I will also take a camera with, to get some Thanksgiving photos, while I consider getting one framed to give to him in full view of the rest of his racist family during Christmas, and watch him squirm around his family when he sees that my friend is there, smiling, right along side of him.

This year's holidays are going to be great.

You'll need some higher voltage DC source other than a car battery...... A megohm meter works right well. (aka: megger)

You people are amateurs:

SPARTANBURG COUNTY, S.C. -- In what was apparently a phone prank that has taken place in other parts of the country, a motel guest said someone called his room and told him to smash the things inside in order to free a "midget" trapped next door.
