couple more tiny little ones I just thought of that are still done by the unoriginal guys at work, but still just as funny as the first time...
Sneak up behind a forklift being used, and close the valve on the propane tank--you've got a little bit of time to hide and watch before it runs out of gas...
The classic Dribble can--someone leaves an open can of soda in the shop. one little hole punched with a utility knife in the side of the can right below the tab opening, well, you get the picture...

I waited a few minutes and then drove up and picked the porta-john up. I was just gonna scare him a bit but he stood up and started freaking out. Him moving around caused it to fall off the forks. Of course it lands on the door, so now he's trapped inside. We rolled it over and he came popping out. Thank god it had just been cleaned and he was only cover in the blue liquid. He wasn't to mad because I let him go home and paid him for the day. Ahh, the fun on a construction site.

restaurant stuff
1: Go get me the jello stretcher behind the bar
2:Thursday is unwind the ceiling fan night
3:Tuesday is empty the automatic coffee machine night
4:New credit card machines are voice recognized, you MUST yell the type of card when swiping
5:the old "if your hand is bigger than your face, then you're gonna get cancer trick(when they put their hand over their face then whack 'em)
And my all time favorite(thanks Tony Castro)... change the date on the penny:
Here's how it works...
Delivery is important, you must get LOTS of attention describing how you can change the date on the penny. place the penny in a large shallow pasta bowl or something that is shallow and can hold liquid. add water(i use soda water) add "secret ingredients to mystify everyone(sugar, salt...whatever) the key is to draw them in closer. By now you have a few peeps hooked into seeing if the date is changed, then tell them to look at the date and as soon as they get close enough to see the date...BLAM, smack the water so it covers them.
I've used that one religiously every 2 months for the last two years, gets at least 2 people EVERY time!
...when all else fails, tell the next customer that asks where the bathrooms are that they are two blocks down on the left side of the road.

From the machine shop world:
"Go to the tool crib and get the green handled tap straightener. Not the red one, the green one"
And I also sent newbies after a center line, a scribe line, a metric crescent wrench, a corner tap, the infamous skyhook, left handed calipers & aluminum drill bits.
I had a lot of fun with the new trainees.

have a guy tilt his head back and rest a quarter on his forehead. Also have him stick a funnel down the front of his pants and bet him that he cant drop the quarter on his head into the funnel without using his hands. When he tilts his head back, pour water down the funnel.

From the military side of things...
A few weeks ago I gave one of my airmen the message to call a
Lt Colonel Sanders at the finance office. Little did he know that the number we gave him was to the local Kentucky Fried Chicken. When he asked the kid on the other line if he could speak to "Colonel Sanders" the kid told him the man had been dead for 50 years. Still not catching on to the joke, and thinking that the kid on the other end was being totaly disrespectful, our guy got upset at him and demanded to speak to the colonel. Finally he asked if he had the right number, and realized who he was talking to.
We also had an airman call the Security Forces K-9 unit and ask to speak to Jermain Sheppard. The cops thought he wanted to talk to one of the german sheppards
