Ten great practical jokes to play

Found another one on Andy's web.
Hohohoho...
Should do this sometimes.... hohohoho

Dog
Dress up in a dog suit and run around the streets barking, poking your nose into other dogs' bottoms, chasing cats and knocking over rubbish bins. When the dog catcher finally nabs you, unzip the costume, step out and say in a smart-alecky sort of way, 'I'm not really a dog, you idiot--I was just tricking!'

Smell the cheese
Clench your fist and put it in the palm of your other hand. Ask your friend if they would like to 'smell the cheese.' When they put their face down close, punch them hard in the nose and say, 'Just tricking!'

Monster in the bath
Fill the bath up with warm water and lots of bubbles. Jump in, lie down as low as you can and wave your arms, screaming 'Help, it's got me! It's got me!' When your family rushes in to rescue you, sit up and say, 'Just tricking!'

Bone in the throat
While eating out at a crowded restaurant, pretend to get a fish bone stuck in your throat. Clutch your neck with both hands, cough all your food up, fall over backwards and kick your legs in the air. Then, when you've got a nice big audience crowding around you, take your hands away from your throat, stand up, calmly brush yourself down and say, 'Well, what are you all staring at? I was just tricking!'

Mixed lollies
Go into a milk bar and order four musksticks, two bubble gums, five cents worth of mint leaves, ten cents worth of the red ones, five bananas and a licorice stick. Check how much it all comes to so far, count your money and then order one redskin, three milkbottles, four jubes, a chuppa-chup, another licorice stick and two snakes. Check how much it all comes to again, yell, 'Just tricking!' and run out of the shop.

Will you marry me?
Ask somebody to marry you. Arrange a big wedding and invite heaps of guests, and then, when you're standing at the altar and the priest says, 'If there is anyone here who knows why this man and woman should not be joined in holy matrimony, let them speak now or forever hold their peace,' jump up and say, 'Yes--me, because I was just tricking!'

Cry wolf
Go out and mind the sheep on a cold night. Wait until everybody in the village is asleep, and then cry 'Wolf! Wolf!' at the top of your voice. When all the people in your village come running up to help you, smile and say, 'Just tricking!' Keep doing it until they get really mad and refuse to believe you any more. (If a wolf really does show up, say 'Nice doggy!' and hope like crazy that the wolf understands English.)

Catch of the day
Go to a well-known surf-fishing beach, swim out into deep water and find a baited hook. Hitch it to your bathers and then dive and twist and jump for all you're worth. When the poor sucker finally drags you up onto the beach, say, 'Thanks for the ride, but I'm not really a fish--I was just tricking!'

Planet
Take a few really deep breaths and puff yourself out until you are very large and round and capable of orbiting the sun once every 365 days. Allow a vast array of life forms to flourish on your surface, and when they start getting too smart for their own good, breathe out and return to normal size. Imagine how surprised everyone will be as they float off into space and realise that you were just tricking!
