Always a JOY to see that this one is still alive, although, it only required one person
to accomplish this act when I was in college.

I`ll go one better... Unscrew the mouth piece and take out the microphone disk
and replace the mouth piece cover. The phone still rings and they can hear
the other party on the line but the other party will not hear them. It's great 
watching somebody get very frustrated when people keep hanging up on them.

This is a good one. I had a friend in college who turned me on to it. If nothing
else it looks awsome.

Here are a few of my personal favorites which I hope all of you have the chance
to try out for yourselves.

For this one you need the following:
About 100 yards of rope. the kind you would use for a clothes line. 
Access to a girls dorm after mid-night.
The balls to carry it out.

Get into the dorm late at night pick a quiet hall with everyone asleep.
Tie one end of the rope to the last door at the end of the hall. Actually 
the rope gets tied to the door knob.String the rope to the next door down 
the hall on the opposite side of the hall. Tie the rope to that door knob.
Leave about one foot of slack in the rope from the first door to the second
door. (without the slack the rope would otherwise be taught) Repeat this process
alternating from one side of the hall to the other as you go down the hall.
When you get to the other side of the hall and look back the rope should 
zig zag back and forth from door to door all the way down the hall. Now either 
pull the fire alarm or (this one is less illegal) bang loadly on the last two or 
three doors. And most importantly...Run like hell! 
The effect is this (if done properly) When somebody tries to open their door
they will not be able to get out (because there should not be enough slack for 
them to open the door wide enough. If someone in the room across the hall 
opens the door it will pull the other shut. Its a lot of fun!

This one is alittle risky depending on who the victim is but all you need is 
one scoop of Cherry Kool-Aid mix and some unwitting fool in the shower.
wait til your victim is nice and wet then dump the Kool-Aid mix over the 
top on them. Cherry is a good flavour but any of the vivid colored flavors 
will due. The mix will disolve on them instantly in a hot shower and stain their
skin in the color of the Kool-Aid. It will wear off in a day or so, about three showers
worth.
