Canonical List of Pranks 3.0 ---------------------------- Compiled by Stacy Behrens (sjb3@lehigh.edu) Version 3.0 This is a list of pranks and practical jokes of all sorts. The contributors are listed at the bottom. I take no responsibility for anyone getting in any trouble or causing any harm to anyone due to anything listed here. If you have a good prank and it isn't listed here, mail it to me and I'll see about adding it to the list. I'm not necissarily interested in funny stories unless there is a prank that can be described in a fairly short paragraph contained within. The pranks on this list range from harmless to the downright cruel since the idea is to have a list to cover all occasions. -Rigged Door -Mail -Camping -Showering -Toilet -Food & Resturant -Dorm Room -Body -Classroom -Tape & Movie -Miscellaneous -Computer -Phone -Appliance -Sleeping -Pyrotechnical -Vehicle -New Employee as well as the list of contributors -----Rigged Door Pranks------------ -Balance a nearly full bucket of water against someone's door at night. When they open it the next morning it will fall and flood their room. Even better against elevator doors. -Remove someone's doorknob and reinstall it with the lock on the inside. Works best if the victim is in the room and the door is locked and you have his/her keys. -If the victim has a recessed door, fill the area flush with the wall (perhaps with drywall) and paint to match the wall. Victim returns to a wall where the door used to be. -Place clear tape across the outside of a door from top to bottom. Frequently people will run into it especially if they are in a hurry. -If the door is metal and has a metal frame, weld the person into (or out of) their room. Can be done to the hinges as well if there is no metal door. -Steal a person's door. Leave a trail of clue's as to where to find it. Have them running all over the place trying to find it and have them end up somewhere near where they started. (like in the next room) -Jam so many pennies between the door and the door frame that the person cannot turn the doorknob to get out. Even better if the pennies are superglued in place to prevent removal. Also you may wish to put vaseline on the inside doorknob to prevent them from being able to turn the knob. -Place "Bang-Snaps" in precarious positions on a door so that they will drop and explode when the door is opened. (such as balanced on the doorknob) -Brick up the entrances to a building at night before anyone arrives. -Reverse the peephole on peoples door. Allows for some interesting spying since very few people actually check this part of the door. -----Mail Pranks------------------- -Send in subscriptions to embarasing magazines in the victim's name. Make sure to check "Bill Me". -Send off a request in the victims name to numerous foriegn postage stamp bureaus requesting ordering information, to be put on mailing lists, etc. The response is quite astounding. -Get change of address cards from the post office and change the victim's address to someplace like Guam. -----Camping Pranks---------------- -Bury someone's hatchet or ax in a tree about 20 feet off the ground and in plain sight. -Snipe Hunts. 'Nuff Said. -Spray someone's tent with some aerosol based bug spray. This will erode the waterproofing of the tent. -----Showering Pranks-------------- -Urinate in a person's shampoo. -Put Nair or some other hair removal chemical in a person's shampoo or conditioner. You may need to distract the person for a moment to let the stuff take a better hold. -Fill the shower head with dry temper paint, onion salt, easter egg pellets or the like. Lifesavers are great since they disolve and then reform on the victim. The victim will feel sticky afterwards and of course the solution to that is to take another shower... -On a cubicle where the door reaches the floor, seal the door shut and fill the cubicle with water. You may wish to introduce marine life. -Flush toilets while a person showers. The more toilets the better. -Swipe a person's cloths while they are showering. Put them in an embarasing place such as the showers for people of the opposite sex. -Glue the lids to people's shampoo shut. They get all wet and then realize they can't wash their hair. -----Toilet Pranks----------------- -Place clear cellophane over the toilet bowl but under the seat. Works best at parties where a large percentage of the people are drunk. -Place a small tube in one or the water holes with the other end pointed outward at the victim. When flushed results in an improptu shower. -Flush waterproofed cherry bombs or M-80's down public toilets. Explosives in Port-O-Potty's can be fun too. -Place vasilene (or some other reasonably clear gel) on the seat at night. Listen for the screams. ICY-HOT or Atomic Balm are even better. Also put the stuff on the toilet paper. -Shoe Polish of the appropriate color on the seat. -Place several packages of "Knox" (clear geletin) in the toilet of someone who will not be around for several days. Looks like water and is harder to detect than the celophane on the lid. For a more instant effect, there is a substance availlable at most magic supply stores called anhydrous sodium poly-acrylate which holds up to 300 times its weight in water. Doesn't take much to turn a toilet solid or someone's drink, or... -Rig a 220 outlet to a urinal. I can only imagine how much this would hurt. -Rig an outhouse to have some explosive buried in the hole, and the trigger to the toilet seat. The victim will have a great time trying to clean that off. -Place a candle a little below the seat and off to the side. Methane lights up quite nicely. -----Food & Resturant Pranks------------------- -Convice the person that they have eaten a piece of food that has been soiled by some bodily function. Have fake "evidence" (or real evidence if you really are cruel) to back up your claim such as pictures. -Give your name as Pupupu to a maitre-de. When he calls you to your table you will hear, "Pu-pu-pu Party of four...". -Same thing but give your name as Connie Lingus, Dick Hertz, Harry Colon, etc. -Freeze glasses to trays in the cafeteria. This can be accomplished by smearing the bottom of the glass with honey and sticking it firmly to the tray. Next fill the glass with ice, water and salt to lower the temperature. After a few minutes the honey should be frozen to both the tray and the glass. -Glue glasses in a cafeteria to the bottom of a table. -Dribble glass. Need I say more? -Put pure crystallized caffine in someone's coffee pot. This will make expresso look like milk. -Get some of the tracer pills that turn urine blue (or some other interesting color) Crush and slip it into some food. The victim will be peeing blue for 2-3 days afterwards though the pills themselves are just dye and are completely harmless. -Bake brownies or cookies and substitute Ex-Lax for part of the chocolate. Use some chocolate to keep the taste right. -Rig the lid of salt shakers to fail when used, resulting in a veritable salt lick on the victim's food. -----Dorm Room Pranks------------ -Fill an accordian folder with shaving cream, insert under someone's door and stomp on it which will send large amounts of shaving cream into their room withought ever opening the door. Also can be done with a fine powder (Talcum powder works nicely) in a bag with a hole in the bottom. Slip the open end under the door, stick a hair dryer in the hole and the room gets a nice sugar coating. -Flood the floor of a room and open the window during a very cold night when the occupants won't be returning for a while. Also good in public bathrooms. -Purchase several hundred crickets from the local pet store and release them everywhere. (and I do mean everywhere) Crickets are quite noisy and should result in a few sleepless nights. -Take a dump into a small cup and place it in the most hard-to-find/get-at place in someone's room. They'll tear their room apart looking for the smell. -Place raw eggs under the person's pillow or comforter or somewhere else that is bulky enough that the eggs won't be noticed until after they have been crushed. This is lots of fun to clean up after... -Fill a person's room while they are out with massive quantities of crumpled up newspaper. This takes a fair bit of planning, a lot of paper and a small room but can have good results. -Remove doors on your hall and swap them with other doors from around the hall. -Cover a person's door with butcher paper and fill the space between the door and the wall with confetti, peanuts, etc. -Attach a remote control to the fire alarm in a room and set it off from a safe distance. Watch the victim(s) panic. When the panic subsides, do it again. And again. And... well you get the picture. -----Body Pranks-------- -Hold a magnifying glass over someone who is sunbathing. Be prepared to run shortly after you do this. -Place Icy-Hot, Atomic Balm or the like in someone's jock or underwear. Warning! This results in screaming in the most macho of guys. -Wave microwaved mayonaise under the nose of a person who is drunk and feeling queasy. Alternately start asking questions such as "Would you like a cold greasy pork chop? How about an earthworm omlette?..." -Get some silver nitrate which has the odd effect of turning skin a blackish purple. Be creative. -Write all sorts of nasty messages in permenant marker on a persons body while they are asleep or passed out drunk. Put them in hard to cover up places. -----Classroom Pranks-------------- -Sucker freshmen into walking too close to an active Van-De-Graff generator. -Superglue EVERYTHING in a classroom down. Chairs, chalk, books, whatever. Don't be choosy. -When a teacher leaves the room, have everyone turn every desk and chair upside down. When the teacher returns be sitting on your chairs working as if nothing had happened. -When dissecting animals, take the liver (or some other brown organ) and place it in the instructor's coffee. Place parts from your dissection in various places around a caffeteria salad bar. -----Tapes & Movie Pranks---------- -Crack open someone's audio cassettes and flip the tape over so that what comes out is pure gibberish. -Rent porn tapes from the video store and record something like Barney or the Wizard of Oz over them. Just imagine the next person who gets them. Better yet, do it the other way around or exchange the tape in their respective cases. (they aren't likely to check) -----Miscellaneous Pranks---------- -When you see several folks relaxing in a hot tub, throw ice cubes into the tub. They'll wonder who's throwing stuff at them, but the cubes melt almost instantly leaving no evidence or clues as to who is doing it. -Release large numbers of pigeons into a gymnasium or lecture hall. Young pigs in the hallway are good too. Even better if they (pigeons or pigs) have been fed laxatives. -Release a chicken or similair noisy relatively light animal between a dropped ceiling (he ones with the tiles) and the actual ceiling. They are tough enough to catch on normal ground. -During the part of a wedding where the minister/priest/etc asks "speak up now or forever hold your peace", send a small child running up the isle yelling "Daddy, daddy". -Superglue several quarters to a flat surface such as a bench or floor and watch people try to remove them. -Get some cones or barrels and divert traffic from a nearby street through campus or your workplace. -Advertise your principle or bosses job in the local paper. -Flour on top of the blades of ceiling fans. -If you know someone who is a homophobe, slip some homoerotic art books in their bag while they are distracted. When they walk through the library's book detector, they will have to empty out the bag revealing the book in question. -Throw those fake foam rocks which are availlable at novelty stores at someone. Works best when around real rocks such as in a geology class or outdoors. -Be obnoxious as possible while loudly speaking another language. (german, french or whatever) When you hear someone mutter something like, "I wish they would shut up." respond appropriately in perfect english. -Start quasi-political parties in school for the sole purpose of being obnoxious. (meaning you don't really have anything meaningful to say) Make emblems and post them on everything in sight, march around spewing meaningless propaganda etc. -Hire a stripper to appear in a high traffic area, such as a cafeteria during peak hours. -Fill several vending machines in a high traffic area with condoms and beer cans. -Take some soup or stew in a plastic bag. Pretend to toss your cookies depositing the substance on the floor or table. Have a buddy look over and say, "Hey that looks good", and eat a piece of meat or veggie. May result in others nearby loosing their lunch as well. -Put every single chair from a large building in one room. The smaller the room the better. Also good near the entrance to a building. -Fill someone's umbrella with confetti, wait until a rainy day and enjoy. -Leave insect egg cases/clusters in innacessable areas. -Errect a large paper mache penis on school grounds in a very public place. Write messages on it for added effect. Also works with snow. -Put doggie do in a paper bag, light the bag, put on someone's doorstep, ring the bell and watch them stamp it out. -Scrape coagulate grease off of ribs and serve it as leftover lemon sorbetto. -Hide pornographic pictures (the nastier the better) in places where someone who is very easily offended or embaressed will find them quite unexpectedly. Even better if there are numerous amounts of small pictures hidden in obscure places that will still be found even years later. -Hand the principal/headmaster some small item when getting your diploma. Marbles, balloons, condoms, coins etc. Works best if everyone does it. -Take a dump on a plate and stick it in the microwave. The area will smell for weeks. -----Computer Pranks--------------- -Change the prompt on someones computer to be black on black. This is rather cruel if the person is computer illiterate. Very effective the day before a big project is due. -It is possible to play sounds remotely on some workstations. (Sun SparcStations for instance) You can have all kinds of fun playing sounds like flushing toilets and other unusual sounds. Works best if the person is a relative newbie. -Run a XXX-GIF slide show on the overhead computer projectors found in many computer rooms and large lecture halls. Very effective if done before a large class. You may wish to superglue the drive doors shut as well as all the relevant power switches in the "on" position and the power cables to the wall and hide the keyboard. -Write a small program that prints "Formatting C:" and starts printing a series of dots at intervals afterwards. Simulate disk access by contiuously creating and deleting an empty text file. -Write a daemon that sends each individual page of a print job to a different printer on the network. Select the printer at random. -Put an intercom inside a machine and then convince some nerd that it is an AI with voice recognition. -Convince a newbie that there has been a virus going around that presents hypnotic patterns on the screen which can really mess up your mind. Then start up remotely or set to start at a particular time a fractal program of some sort. They'll probably panic big time. -Write a TSR that turns the keyboard on and off at short intervals. You'll watch the person try keyboard after keyboard. Can also swap keys using ANSI.SYS or xmodemap depending on the system. -Convert a XXX image to a bitmap and make it someone's OS/2 or Windows backround. You can also change the backround of someone's X-Windows session remotely as well as make picture appear and they can't stop you. (use XV or a similar program) -Rig the spring in a Macintosh floppy drive to fire the disk a goodly distance from the machine upon ejection. -Reverse the turbo switch so that the machine runs fast when it should run slow and slow when it should be fast. -If they haven't changed the default password for their BIOS, change it yourself and lock them out of their machine. -Write fake disaster error messages that appear at random time. -----New Employee Pranks--------- -Send a new employee for various mythical items such as: Double sided transperencies Dehydrated Water Bucket of compressed air A one molar solution of water A stanchion remover A bucket of steam A phallopian tube A long weight (long wait) A short weight Short circuits Lightning bolts Skyhooks A "mattababe" (as in what's a "mattababe") A "dickfore" (same as above) A piston return spring A left handed wrench, hammer, razor... Agent Orange (paint color) Sparkplugs for a desiel engine A short/long stand A chain stretcher Hydraulic cement bender Snowtires for the shopping carts -Tell the new employee that the management at the movie theater or other concession stand wants exactly 47 nachos on every tray and they'll get upset if the victim doesn't do it. -----Phone Pranks---------------- -Coat the reciever of someone's phone with shoe polish and then give them a call. Instant gratification. Make sure you match the colors of the polish and the phone. Small amounts of shaving cream work too. -Utilizing threeway calling, call two people you don't know and start a confused conversation that goes like, "who is this?", "Who is *this*?", "Why did you call me?", "Call you? You called me!"... -Glue the victim's reciever down, and then start making lots of calls to the victim. -Call in pledges to your local public TV station in the victim's name. Be generous. Other charities work as well. -Switch on the intercom as tell the victim that the "person on the other end wants to talk to you". You'll hear them going "Hello? Hellooo?"... -----Appliance Pranks------------ -Wrap an *extremely* fine gauge wire several turns around each prong of the power cord of some plug in appliance with a single strand going between the two prongs. The current coming out of a wall is sufficent that the wire will instantly and completely vaporize the wire and will result in a startling flash. This one leaves no evidence and will make the person terrified to plug the appliance back in. WARNING: this is VERY dangerous if too large a gauge of wire is used. -Purchase a "universal TV remote" from a place like Radio Shack. When walking by public TVs, such as those in a dorm lounge, change the channel without giving anyone any idea you are doing it. -Take a transciever like the ones ham radio operators use (3 watts or more is good) and push transmit while near a TV. Will have the effect of semi-scrambling whatever is showing. Them more powerful the transceiver, the more the TV signal gets messed up. This does work on cable TV. -Leave toothpast on the underside of light switches and doorknobs. -Use appliance timers to detonate stereo equipment at high volume. -Leave a copier to print 99 copies at 33% resolution on 8x14 paper. -Leave someone's furniture in a 99% disassembled state. Repeat as necissary. -----Sleeping Pranks------------- -Fasten someone to their bed with numerous bungi cords. -Put coathangers between the matress and the sheet. -Get lots of cheap alarm clocks and set them to go off at 3:00am and every 20 minutes thereafter. Hide them well. -Bury someone several feet deep in wet unrolled toilet paper. -Pour "cyalume" (the stuff in those glow sticks you see every holoween) on someone then wake them and say, "Dude, you're glowing" and watch them panic. -Place the sleeping person's hand in a bowl of lukewarm water. Will fequently cause bed wetting. -Shave parts of a person while they are passed out drunk. Be creative. Do things such as half a mustache, one eyebrow, etc. -Draw in permenant marker all sorts of messages on the skin of a person who has passed out drunk. Messages should include things like "[insert name of another person you dislike] was here" with a big arrow pointing to the person's rear end. -Smear a person's body with Nair or other hair removal substance. Works great on hairy italian guys. -Print a message in lipstick on someone's chest. (such as "Thank You") Works best after a night where they really got drunk and may not remember what they were doing the night before. -Sprinkle Sand or Jello Mix or the like in the person's bed. -----Pyrotechnical Pranks---------- -Burn a hole in someone's newly paved asphalt driveway using thermite. -Place industrial strength smoke grenades (the sort that will fill up entire buildings) in obscure places in a public building. Also good in someone's car or truck. -Make some Amonium Tri-iodide. Be creative. -----Vehicle Pranks---------------- -Place an old beat up vehicle near the entrance to a school building. Remove the wheels and fill it with cement. Nearly impossible to remove. -Cut an old wreck in half and weld it together around a flagpole. -Dissassemble an old car and reassemble it on top of a building or in the main lobby of the building. -Block off a major road using traffic cones or barrels. -Get some of the jacks used for moving cars around car lots and move all the cars in a lot so that they are about 3 inches apart and impossible to get into or move. -Fill someone's car or truck top to bottom with snow. (You'll need a shovel most likely) -Place a dead fish in an area of the engine that is hard to get to and that will get hot. Jammed under the radiator is just about perfect. After a couple of days the smell just becomes unbearable. -Jack up a persons car so the wheels are just barely off the ground, but not enough to be noticable.

Life In Hell ------------ From: jmalloy@harp.aix.calpoly.edu (Seamus O'M Goodness) Subject: Time: 8:26 AM OFFICE MEMO Bill Gates Date: 11/3/94 Bill Gates died and, much to everyone's surprise, went to Heaven. When he got there, he had to wait in the reception area. Heaven's reception area was the size of Massachusetts. There were literally millions of people milling about, living in tents with nothing to do all day. Food and water were being distributed from the backs of trucks, while staffers with clipboards slowly worked their way through the crowd. Booze and drugs were being passed around. Fights were commonplace. Sanitation conditions were appalling. All in all, the scene looked like Woodstock gone metastatic. Bill lived in a tent for three weeks until, finally, one of the staffers approached him. The staffer was a young man in his late teens, face scarred with acne. He was wearing a blue T-shirt with the words TEAM PETER emblazoned on it in large yellow lettering. "Hello," said the staffer in a bored voice that could have been the voice of any clerk in any overgrown bureaucracy. "My name is Gabriel and I'll be your induction coordinator." Bill started to ask a question, but Gabriel interrupted him. "No, I'm not the Archangel Gabriel. I'm just a guy from Philadelphia named Gabriel who died in a car wreck at the age of 17. Now give me your name, last name first, unless you were Chinese in which case it's first name first." "Gates, Bill." Gabriel started searching though the sheaf of papers on his clipboard, looking for Bill's Record of Earthly Works. "What's going on here?" asked Bill. "Why are all these people here? Where's Saint Peter? Where are the Pearly Gates?" Gabriel ignored the questions until he located Bill's records. Then Gabriel looked up in surprise. "It says here that you were the president of a large software company. Is that right?" "Yes." "Well then, do the math chip-head! When this Saint Peter business started, it was an easy gig. Only a hundred or so people died every day, and Peter could handle it all by himself, no problem. But now there are over five billion people on earth. Jesus, when God said to 'go forth and multiply,' he didn't say 'like rabbits!' With that large a population, ten thousand people die every hour. Over a quarter-million people a day. Do you think Peter can meet them all personally?" "I guess not." "You guess right. So Peter had to franchise the operation. Now, Peter is the CEO of Team Peter Enterprises, Inc. He just sits in the corporate headquarters and sets policy. Franchisees like me handle the actual inductions." Gabriel looked though his paperwork some more, and then continued. "Your paperwork seems to be in order. And with a background like yours, you'll be getting a plum job assignment." "Job assignment?" "Of course. Did you expect to spend the rest of eternity sitting on your ass and drinking ambrosia? Heaven is a big operation. You have to pull your weight around here!" Gabriel took out a triplicate form, had Bill sign at the bottom, and then tore out the middle copy and handed it to Bill. "Take this down to induction center #23 and meet up with your occupational orientator. His name is Abraham." Bill started to ask a question, but Gabriel interrupted him. "No, he's not *that* Abraham." * * * * * * * * * * * Bill walked down a muddy trail for ten miles until he came to induction center #23. He met with Abraham after a mere six-hour wait. "Heaven is centuries behind in building its data processing infrastructure," explained Abraham. "As you've seen, we're still doing everything on paper. It takes us a week just to process new entries." "I had to wait *three* weeks," said Bill. Abraham stared at Bill angrily, and Bill realized that he'd made a mistake. Even in Heaven, it's best not to contradict a bureaucrat. "Well," Bill offered, "maybe that Bosnia thing has you guys backed up." Abraham's look of anger faded to mere annoyance. "Your job will be to supervise Heaven's new data processing center. We're building the largest computing facility in creation. Half a million computers connected by a multi-segment fiber optic network, all running into a back-end server network with a thousand CPUs on a gigabit channel. Fully fault tolerant. Fully distributed processing. The works." Bill could barely contain his excitement. "Wow! What a great job! This is really Heaven!" "We're just finishing construction, and we'll be starting operations soon. Would you like to go see the center now?" "You bet!" Abraham and Bill caught the shuttle bus and went to Heaven's new data processing center. It was a truly huge facility, a hundred times bigger than the Astrodome. Workmen were crawling all over the place, getting the miles of fiber optic cables properly installed. But the center was dominated by the computers. Half a million computers, arranged neatly row-by-row, half a million .... .... Macintoshes .... .... all running Claris software! Not a PC in sight! Not a single byte of Microsoft code! The thought of spending the rest of eternity using products that he had spent his whole life working to destroy was too much for Bill. "What about PCs???" he exclaimed. "What about Windows??? What about Excel??? What about Word???" "You're forgetting something," said Abraham. "What's that?" asked Bill plaintively. "This is Heaven," explained Abraham. "We need a computer system that's heavenly to use. If you want to build a data processing center based on PCs running Windows, then .... .... GO TO HELL!"
At work! -------- From: dunno>From Management, It has been brought to the management's attention that some individuals have been using foul language in the course of conversation between employees. Due to complaints from some of the more easily offended workers, this conduct will no longer be tolerated. The management does, however, realize the importance of each person being able to properly express their feelings when communicating with their fellow employees. Therefore, management has compiled the following code list. It is imperative that all employees understand and memorize these code phrases so that proper exchange of ideas and information can continue. OLD PHRASE NEW PHRASE No fucking way! I'm not certain that's feasible. You've gotta be shitting me! Really. Tell someone who gives a fuck! Perhaps you should check with........ Ask me if I give a fuck! Of course I'm concerned. It's not my fucking problem! I wasn't involved with the project. What the fuck! Interesting behavior. Fuck it, it won't work! I'm not sure I can implement this. Why the fuck didn't they tell me I'll try to schedule that. sooner? When the fuck do the expect me Perhaps I can work late. to do this? Who the fuck cares? Are you sure it's a problem? He's got his head up his ass. He's not familiar with the problem. Eat shit. You don't say. Eat shit and die. Excuse me. Eat shit and die motherfucker. Excuse me,sir. What the fuck do they want They weren't happy with it. from my life? Kiss my ass. So you'd like my help with it. Fuck it, I'm on salary. I'm a bit overloaded at the moment. Shove it up your ass. I don't think you understand. This job sucks. I love a challenge. Who the hell died and left you boss. You want me to take care of this. Blow me! I see. Blow yourself! Do you see?

OpSys Airlines -------------- A COMPARISON OF OPERATING SYSTEMS DOS AIR All the passengers go out onto the runway, grab hold of the plane, push it until it gets into the air, hop on, jump off when it hits the ground again. Then they grab the plane again, push it back into the air, hop on, et cetera. MAC AIRWAYS The cashiers, flight attendants and pilots all look the same, feel the same and act the same. When asked questions about the flight, they reply that you don't want to know, don't need to know and would you please return to your seat and watch the movie. WINDOWS AIRLINES The terminal is very neat and clean, the attendants all ver y attractive, the pilots very capable. The fleet of Learjets the carrier operates is immense. Your jet takes off without a hitch, pushing above the clouds, and at 20,000 feet it explodes without warning. OS/2 SKYWAYS The terminal is almost empty, with only a few prospective passengers milling about. The announcer says that their flight has just departed, wishes them a good flight, though there are no planes on the runway. Airline personnel walk around, apologising profusely to customers in hushed voices, pointing from time to time to the sleek, powerful jets outside the terminal on the field. They tell each passenger how good the real flight will be on these new jets and how much safer it will be than Windows Airlines, but that they will have to wait a little longer for the technicians to finish the flight systems. Maybe until mid 1995. Maybe longer. FLY WINDOWS NT All the passengers carry their seats out onto the tarmac, placing the chairs in the outline of a plane. They all sit down, flap their arms and make jet swooshing sounds as if they are flying. UNIX EXPRESS All passengers bring a piece of the airplane and a box of tools with them to the airport. They gather on the tarmac, arguing constantly about what kind of plane they want to build and how to put it together. Eventually, the passengers split into groups and build several different aircraft, but give them all the same name. Some passengers actually reach their destinations. All passengers believe they got there. WINGS OF OS/400 The airline has bought ancient DC3s, arguably the best and safest planes that ever flew, and painted "747" on their tails to make them look as if they are fast. The flight attendants, of course, attend to your every need, though the drinks cost $15 for an orange juice. Stupid questions cost $230 per hour, unless you have Supportline, which requires a first class ticket and membership in the frequent flyer club. Then they cost $500, but your accounting department can call it overhead. MVS AIRLINES The passengers all gather in the hangar, watching hundreds of technicians check the flight systems on this immense, luxury aircraft. This plane has at least 10 engines and seats over 1,000 passengers. Bigger models in the fleet can have more engines than anyone can count and fly even more passengers than there are on Earth. It is claimed to cost less per passenger mile to operate these humungous planes than any other aircraft ever built, unless you personally have to pay for the ticket. All the passengers scramble aboard, as do the 200 technicians needed to keep it from crashing. The pilot takes his place up in the glass cockpit. He guns the engines, only to realise that the plane is too big to get through the hangar doors.

True Facts ---------- From: turf@thurston (Brian McInturff) The University of Washington's Theta Xi fraternity chpater was ousted from the Interfraternity Council by a campus judicial committee as a result of an initiation-week incident. Seattle police, acting on a complaint, visited the off-campus house of Theta Xi, where they found two stolen sheep. They also found "members and pledges dressed in their underwear, with white grease on their hands and peanut butter and other substances on their bodies." According to the *Chronicle of Higher Education*, "The police report said that the two female sheep were 'overheated and agitated,' but unharmed." "Nancy and I are sorry to learn about your illness. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. God bless you." -- Ronald Reagan, in a [1989] letter to Augusta Lockridge after she was blinded in the soap opera "Santa Barbara." Augusta Lockridge is a fictional character. From the Las Vegas *Sun*: "An Austrian circus dwarf died recently when he bounced sideways from a trampoline and was swallowed by a hippopotamus. Seven thousand people watched as little Franz Dasch popped into the mouth of Hilda the Hippo and the animal's gag reflex forced it to swallow. The crowd applauded wildly before other circus people realized what has happened." This curious addendum was published in L.A. Weekly: "In last week's film review of Star Trek V, Helen Knode wondered if in Star Trek VI they'll 'put Jim, Bones,and Scotty naked in a hot tub together playing hide the sausage.' She meant to ask whether they'll put Jim, Bones, and _Spock_ together to play hide the sausage. She apologizes for any misunderstanding." The following help wanted ad appeared in California's Santa Cruz Sentinel: "Prototype machinist w/exp. in plastics machining & fabrication for the product development industry. Must be able to work with idiots & have partial higher brain function. 476-2070." The senior class of High School South in Middletown, NJ, decided to allocate $500 "to give each graduating senior a commemorative white porcelain mug, trimmed with blue and gold." However, when school officials decided the mug looked too much like a beer stein and might send the wrong message about alcohol abuse, Principal James Mullevey ordered that holes be drilled in the bottoms of all 372 mugs. "It does make you drink faster," noted one graduate. According to a birth announcement in the *Tribune* of San Diego, Calif., a Mr. and Mrs. Cox named their newborn daughter Fonda. A judge admonished the Radnor, Pa., police for pretending that a Xerox copy machine was a lie detector. Officers had placed a metal colander on the head of a suspect and attached the colander to the copier with metal wires. In the copy machine was a type-written message which read: "He's lying." According to UPI, "Each time investigators received answers they did not fancy, they pushed the copy button. Out came the message, "He's lying." Apparently convinced the machine was accurate, the suspect confessed.
