we've been doing loads of practical jokes at work just lately... a few good ones are:

put graphogen or grease on the earpiece of the phone then call someone up

stuff something in the end of their boots

when someone is concentrating on welding or something similay, hit the bench/ramp with a fooking big hammer


and a couple of nasty ones:

ask your apprentice if they've ever played any instruments, then get him to go and ask one of your workmates about his famous sister who has played the piano with some of the worlds biggest stars etc...

when he asks, get your workmate to turn around and call him a sick fuck, keeping a dead straight face. then get your workmate to say that she's got no fingers, still keeping the straight face. then he can tell your apprentice to fuck off and never talk to him again

he'll be walking around worried as fuck... you can wind your apprentice up further by telling him that he should really go and apologise etc.

when you feel he's suffered enough, you can tell him the truth



another good one is to tell him that one of the cars he has worked on has had a wheel fall off on the motorway and killed all inside it... and say that the boss is going to talk to him later
