Speaking of great practical jokes. I live in the
South. We have this great invention called a
potato gun. If you don't know what that is I'll
explain. One takes a piece of PVC pipe about
one meter long and attaches to it a piece
about one quarter as long and twice as wide.
To the wider end one attaches a plug with a
device that has flint on it so it creates a spark
on the inside when flicked. One then
unscrews the back. Then one takes a potato
and shoves a piece tightly into the smaller,
longer piece of pipe. They use a stick to push
it as far as it can go. One then sprays hair
spray in the wider end and quickly closes the
back. Aim, flick the flint and BOOM!!!! The
potato shoots out the end and can travel for
well over 300 yards if done correctly. Very
much fun if one uses other things besides
potatoes. Like other food from the cafeteria or
dolls, underwear, rocks, anything goes.

So all that to say, our dorm was located 100
feet from a busy highway. A little beer and
some disscussion happened and we decided
to shoot stuff at the president of the college's
house across the highway. And easy distance
for a potato gun. We grabbed as much food
and other shootable items as possible and
shot it all. No one ever caught us. I think the
president wasn't home that night or
something. He never came out and we never
heard anything about it. That was probably
one of the most fun things I've ever done.
